- I would love to know how many thousands of dollars I’ve contributed to various bullshit church/non-profit/charity split-the-pots over the years. And never won shit.
- Speaking of non-profit stuff, one of the best things of the pandemic was the cancellation of all the various weeknight awards dinners/annual banquets/jerkoff sessions. Those things are fine every now and then, but when you’re getting pulled to one every other week, it’s a drain. Also, people suck.
- In an effort to behave this weekend, I opted for beer over bourbon at the booze store this afternoon. Which was a mistake, because I’ve had like 8 (?) various imperial double IPA’s since 5:30 or so. Have a buzz, I guess, but also feel disgusting. The 3500 pizza calories aren’t helping.
- How about these commercials asking you to sell your house or car because they’re worth so much more right now! Great plan, assholes. Good luck on the replacement! I’ve actually floated the idea to my wife of just moving to my parents’ cabin on a small lake 50 minutes from here. My dad would just give it to me, as my sister does nothing to contribute to upkeep or maintenance, so no “estate” concerns. But my wife soundly struck the idea down. I think it’s a great idea though - I could cash out my current place for a shit ton of cash, and then go live on the cheap in Pendleton County. And do meth. Live simply, simply live.
- My rising third grader is going to have this uber hot 24 year old teacher come August. She was new last year, fresh out of college. She hasn’t taken down her naughty college Instagram pics yet either. The other dads I have spoken with are also already aware of this fact.
- I’m going to be at an all day settlement conference at the federal courthouse in Lexington next Thursday. Good lunch spot to take the client? I know Lexington well, but also haven’t really “been” there since before the pandemic, so not sure what’s still in existence. That deli across the street was always my go-to, hope it’s still there.
- Speaking of courts, there is no justice in the Kentucky state court system, at least on the civil side. What a laughing stock joke. Any of you good barristers in Kenton County, please run for circuit judge next time around (looking at you, Maxx).
- Did you all see that stat where condom use amongst sexually active college students is under 15%? That’s cool, I guess. Much better feel and all. But I guess these kids just aren’t worried about the AIDS. I remember when I was in college, as recently (lol) as 2000-2004, aids was still, at least ostensibly, a pretty big concern. Now everyone just be raw dawgin. Over Christmas I was talking to my wife’s cousin, who at the time was a senior frat guy at Alabama, and he said the standard procedure is to not only not wear rubbers, but to just bust that nut inside, no questions asked. Different times. He also showed me some candid photos of some of his “dates.” Lord Almighty - you should have seen these.
- The brief conversation about generations the other day caught my attention, as that conversation always does. Like many others on here, I am on that “cusp” between X and the Millenials. My birthday is late 1981, so all the “charts” peg me as a millennial. But I relate so much better to Gen X. My best friends (outside of dear HS/college friends) are all 5-10 years older than me. I am just on their wavelength so much better. I had no internet as a kid. I didn’t text until third year of college. I have never had a Facebook account. I don’t like people, generally. So sign me up with the X’ers. Those are my people.
- Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
