I fear that some day my angsty Tolkien-inspired high school poetry will be unearthed from the archived recesses of Geocities and I'll have to spend the rest of my life hiding from my shame in Alaska.

Respectfully, I think what a lot of the country wants right now is exactly what a swap gets us: a fresh candidate. This situation is so different than 68. We all already know these guys, and people are clearly sick of Trump and, to a lesser extent, Biden. A fresh, energetic face could work.

I can find no comfort inside or outside of myself, no shred of hope nor distraction, only grief, pain, loss, again, for the eight hundredth time in eight years. I just have nothing left.

I'm still voting for President Biden if he stays in the race, as it's the only effective way currently available to combat Donald Trump's cabal. But I truly hope he steps aside and soon, recognizing that there are potential Democratic candidates who can energize voters in this very tight election.

A lifetime of seeing people getting away with terrible deeds at the expense of others really wears one down. The rewards of evil are often profit, respect, power, & immunity. We refuse to come together in numbers sufficient to hold the worst among us accountable. Too many of us wish to be like them.

The medicine helps and the therapy helps and the doctors help and the lifestyle changes help and the self-care helps and despite it all helping a whole lot, I am still so sad.

I'm pretty sure my theology is fucked because I think people who want the Ten Commandments up on classroom walls should go to hell AND YET, I'm firmly convinced that as fucked up as that feeling is, it's much less fucked up than what they want.

I honestly believed as a teen that we were going to keep progressing in peace and begin truly repenting from and repairing our domestic misdeeds and prejudices. Boy was I dumb.

I don't think there's much scripture to support the idea that God cares whether you are successful or not. God is typically presented as being WAY more interested in what you give than in what you get. Generally speaking, things usually don't turn out great for those who put God first.

It is the year 2044. Wokeness has conquered the video game industry. All protagonists in all video games are now Princess Zelda. This is the future liberals want.

Corn Pop reminds you to vote for Biden purely so we don't get Trump and spiral into a full-blown fascist wasteland.

Early in the pandemic, I took walks in the Colma necropolis near SF almost every day. The graveyards were peaceful and almost empty of other living people. One day I stumbled upon the modest tombs of Wyatt Earp and Maddie Blaylock. Another time I bumped into Levi Strauss' magnificent crypt.

Jesus was blatantly, consistently, and once even violently against the collection and wielding of governmental or economic power. These chucklefucks are apostates. They are anathema. They're what the apocalypse calls antichrist.

"Motome Chijiiwa was a man of some acquaintance to me." God I love this movie. If you have never seen 1962's Harakiri, you owe yourself a taste of savory indulgence in filmmaking excellence.

Harakiri (1962). Subversive, surprising, brilliant. One of my ten favorite movies of any genre.

I left for the airport in LA about 5:45 AM this morning. It's 12:21 AM the next day and I'm sitting on the tarmac in Raleigh waiting for somebody to come along and move a plane blocking our gate because I guess they just forgot about us. I hate air travel.
