everybody kept telling me i'd get bored but i just passed the two year mark and it hasn't happened yet. i really just don't ever get bored. i spend a lot of time inside my own head, so even if i have nothing to do i'm okay just hanging out there.
with the exception of like the first four months of covid lockdown (during which i had some pretty dark thoughts, like many others i'm sure) it's been exactly what i thought it would be. basically just doing whatever i want whenever i want.
i don't really know how else to describe it 🤔 ...i enjoy having wide open days and the ability to do anything - doctor, salon, hikes, travel, family visits, gym, cooking, errands, lunches, happy hours, etc. etc. - any time i want. i don't watch tv during the day, but i do listen to music regularly. and visit surly obviously 😁 i like being outside, whether that's floating in the pool or hiking a greenbelt. i like being able to pop down to Port A with my dog for a couple of days by myself.
i really just sort of relish not being beholden to anyone else's schedule or expectations (other than my spouse of course 😊). it's something psychological/emotional, i know that...i have a fiercely independent streak and have always hated the notion of others controlling me. thankfully my spouse understands this and lets me be me.
anyways, something from my childhood/adolescence, family dynamics, etc...i've just sort of ended up as this YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! person. many don't 'get it', some would think it a pointless existence maybe. but i mean...i do exist, why shouldn't i be able to do it in a way that makes me content? 🙂
Yea. I had two weeks off for Christmas. I wasn’t bored. I can entertain myself

It’s insane to think that each one of those little smudge marks of ash is what used to be a $1 million home. Find Denver7 on Facebook, they’ve got some incredible videos and photos. Hopefully the snow continues
So unfathomable that I didn't think those were homes. Sad man.

True story: A friend of mine had a rare cancer a couple years ago that required removal of a portion of her liver. It has since grown fully back. Apparently that organ has some impressive regenerative capabilities. I did not know that. /johnnycarson
Oh, back to bourbon then,

I’m also Day 2 into Dry January.
I’ve done it a few times, though it’s been a while. I don’t really need it for weight loss – I’m 6’0” and about 165-170, and I work out about 4 days a week. But I was particularly rough on the liver from Thanksgiving week through this past Sunday, and probably ate more crap food than I normally do (french fries were the biggest culprit). So I need to give my body a reset, cut the booze, and up the fiber and greens.
Pretty much though I’m shorter than you are. Been crushing my liver for a while and it needs a break. I heard it’ll be as good as new in time

I'd rather a poncho than this fucking fleece vest craze that has been raging for a decade now and is not letting up anytime soon.
It's fucking 72 in the building, taking the fucking vest off Kaaron! I swear we're just a year away from companies not stopping at the left chest logo and instead...going with a big biker-vest styled logo on the back so the Accentures can fight the KPMG Warlords down in the loading dock after happy hour.
Side note---I'd like to wear slippers to work from now on.

Lobo clearly hates the Patagonia vest for some reason, but it has been an acceptable office standard for as long as most of us can remember at this point.
But Lobo, I have good news. It's going to be fall out of favor one day, and probably soon as the Patagonia is actually not aligned with many of the values of the Patagonia bro army (and I think Patagonia made news a few months ago about ceasing the corporate branding for yearly kick-offs and conferences, in part because of this misalignment of values).
Also LOL at the idea that anyone who had to work at KPMG would actively advertise that fact on a vest instead of trying to just mumble and deflect the conversation "Huh? I work for a big 4" and trail off "but What do YOU do, you seem super interesting!"
When I was up in Denver alot of O and G guys wore that Patagonia vest. My cousin likes vests and he lives in south Texas, keeps his core warm and your arms free

actually that looks rather comfortable. I was describing a different type of garment. I guess I'm pullover hesitant even when it's a bit chilly because if I want to take it off during the day, the way my multiple hair cowlicks are ...I end up looking like Jim from "Taxi." And for some inexplicable reason, I start sounding like him too. Weird.
You thinking of this?

Nothing wrong with this.

• (Allegedly) nixed a trade that would've sent him to the Bills
• Showed up to Raiders training camp in a hot air balloon
• Held out and refused to show up to training camp because the NFL would not approve his helmet because it was too old for their safety standards

• Picked out a new helmet and finally showed up to the Raiders
• Got fined by the Raiders for not attending camp
• Tweeted the fines
• Tried to fight Mike Mayock, called him a cracker, had to be held back by Vontaze Burfict, then punted a football down the practice field and said "fine me for that"
• Got fined for that
• Released a video where he used audio of Jon Gruden, who didn't know he was being recorded, which is illegal in California (full disclosure, Gruden has said he gave permission, but the generally accepted theory is that he said that in the hope that it would help get him to show up to the facility and not alienate him)
• Demanded a release from the Raiders
• Was released
• "GRANDMA I'M FREEEEEE! FLY LIKE A FREEEEE!"
• Made a lot of crazy tweets saying stuff like 'Devil is a lie', a proverb about burning down a village... he made a lot of crazy tweets around this time is the point here
• Liked a tweet about Mayock getting raped in the ass
• Signed with the Patriots
• Moved in with Tom Brady
• The sexual assault allegations came out (the one where he's getting sued)

• Tried to outsource his homework to Twitter
• Wants to come back to the NFL
• Filed several grievances to try and get more than $40 million from the Raider's and Patriots
• Was ordered to show up for a deposition regarding trashing the condo
• Was accused of "reprehensible behavior" during the deposition Note: I cut the specifics about the deposition so I could fit this as a single comment. You can read more about it here if you're interested, because it, like everything else, is nuts
• Said that the Patriots have to pay him anyway, so they might as well let him play
• Tweeted a couple of bizarre tweets about the Raiders using him for HBO ratings and the Patriots trying to steal his stuff and kept using this weird chicken based metaphor
• Tried out for the Saints and brought an entourage and film crew to shoot a music video with him when specifically told not to do that
• Called out Robert Kraft for his rub and tug massage session in Florida
• Starting training for a boxing match with Logan Paul
• Tweeted "No more white woman 2020"
• The attorney representing him in the suit involving the condo quit

• Was involved in a disputed with movers at his home where he allegedly threw rocks at the movers and moving vans. He is currently being investigated for battery by the police.
• His trainer was arrested and he is still a suspect in the battery case.
• Warrant issued for the arrest of AB.
• AB turns himself in to Broward Country Jail wearing this suit
• Rumors spread about AB signing with Tampa or Seattle
• AB announces his retirement (for what I believe is the third time, it's hard to find a good record of the rest of them)
• Two days later AB wants to play again and is asking for the league to wrap up it's investigation
• The NFL announces an eight game suspension for AB
• AB signs with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal
• Before he signed with the Buccaneers AB was accused of destroying a surveillance camera at a Florida gated community, throwing bike at a security-guard shack, and is not charged because HOA president "feared" retaliation, per police report
• AB is under investigation by the NFL for the bike throwing incident
• Allegedly acquired fake covid-19 card
• confirmed to have acquired a fake covid-19 card and subsequently suspended for three games
• Removed jersey and pads and threw them in the stands before exiting the games verse the Jets.
• Was subsequently cut from the Bucs for stripping on the field.But yeah, lets believe him this one time, I am sure he is finally telling the truth. Also - if your basing this all on "a million dollars are at stake, why would he lie?", then ask yourself why he would effectively end his career and miss out on a lot more than a million dollars with a different team in the future.
yea

I'm ok for now. No cravings honestly. Sleep about the same. I will probably have a drink or 5 this weekend. Idk.
