There's so little music i want to see live and most of it happens 60-90 minutes away so when it's on a weeknight i'm too old to want to endure the commute there in rush hour and back when it's midnight and i'm exhausted.

NAFTA
you're a Clinton treaty
i said, NAFTA
from the past century
i said, NAFTA
you're not all about me
there's no need for you today

NAFTA
it's time to let you go
i said, NAFTA
i want people to know
i said, NAFTA
that this time it's my show
so i'm going to rename you

your name is now Us-M-C-A
your name is now Us-M-C-A
yet much to my chagrin
i could not work "Trump" in
but we know who did all the work

The FIFA Men's World Cup snuck up on me.  It's harder to care when neither the USA nor Ecuador will be competing; add in the current host (Russia) and FIFA's corruption scandal, and the difficulty increases.  I do want to see the likes of Egypt, Panama, and Iceland do well.  I wouldn't even be upset if Messi and his team win it all.

Old and busted:

New hotness:

There's a squirrel in the neighborhood this year that steal's someone's Fuyu persimmons, then comes over to partially eat it at our almond tree, then drops the remnants for me to deposit in our compost pit.

Self-Titled

Self-Titled is the debut album from All the Feels.  It is a showcase of poststructuralist retromodern techno, and earned the band critical raves from mainstream and indie media.  The band funded the record by using embedded micropayment malware in their torrent seeds, a technique later outlawed by the World Congress.

"There is no garbage to collect in Java, really. Matter of fact, it's all garbage."

A successful life is not completely balanced. The great people push hard, they do interesting and unusual things. They follow their passion, they get excited. The term “balance” seems to me to be an industrial era term. And in that sense, I think we’re going against the political correctness of that term.

Eric Schmidt, please come to the nearest fuck-off-and-die-in-a-fire courtesy telephone.

Like a dog going back to its vomit, i'm at the brink of accepting a contract at eBay, because i've been out of work too long (coming up on 4 months now). I'm trying to frame this correctly by just getting the necessary work done, and then using my time towards my own professional goals later.  I'll be working in the organization of a friend with whom i've worked previously, so i think that this will not be terrible.
