I Have A Problem With Math

It’s true, I do. Not a math problem, though. I’ve already solved this particular math problem. The solution was never in doubt. I’m also not saying that I struggle with math. I get by just fine with my mathing, thank you very much. What I’m saying is, I have a grievance with the subject ofContinue reading “I Have A Problem With Math”

The Mother of All Endurance

Merriam Webster defines endurance as “the ability to withstand hardship or adversity.” It’s a wonderfully nonspecific definition, implying there are endless forms of endurance. Inspired by my wife’s recent birthday, I’d like to speak of a remarkable form of endurance I regularly witness from her and other moms. Dare I say, I’m pretty fit, andContinue reading “The Mother of All Endurance”

Don’t Alpha The Goose

I encountered a goose this morning. While still at a distance, but approaching its feathery ass, I could tell this thing was belligerent. The way it was postured 10 feet up on the retaining wall, standing at the edge, and overlooking its parking lot kingdom, I could sense that this bird was aggro. I thinkContinue reading “Don’t Alpha The Goose”

Politics: I’m Confused

If forced to summarize my take on our current political climate, it’s the following two words: I’m confused. Now, while I walk around at a baseline level of confusion, sometimes forgetting to breathe in air, or blink, or deliver food to the correct bodily orifice for proper delivery of nutrition, I have never been moreContinue reading “Politics: I’m Confused”

Be F#%$ing Nicer

It is an act of niceness to censor the blog title, because I don’t want to offend any innocent cybercitizen pleasantly perusing the internet with such harsh language. Believe it or not, but in this very moment, I’m trying to be nicer. Fucking nicer. That’s a phrase I need to utter to myself daily: BeContinue reading “Be F#%$ing Nicer”

A 2025 Resolution

Give In Never Rarely Occasionally Sometimes Less Often than Previously Rather than outline a handful of specific improvements I want to implement, or goals I wish to achieve in the coming year, I briefly want to discuss an overarching theme pervading my psyche, the way the smell of stale cabbage might pervade the air ifContinue reading “A 2025 Resolution”

Eating a Humble Sandwich

People probably often wonder, How does Mr. Yolo69420.blog stay humble? Especially with all his blogging success, profound insight, and obvious interpersonal skills that make him the perennial center of attention in all situations-how does he do it? What can I say, I have a disposition towards humility. I try and understand that we all startContinue reading “Eating a Humble Sandwich”

My Father-In-Law’s Downstairs Bathroom

I would like to take a few brief minutes to discuss my father-in-law’s downstairs bathroom. It’s a place that has always puzzled and fascinated me. Over the 11 years I have pilgrimaged to that special place to leave my bio-organic offerings, there have been several changes I’ve noticed, as well as other conditions that stubbornlyContinue reading “My Father-In-Law’s Downstairs Bathroom”

How to Live Forever*

Mystics distinguish between the two concepts of eternity and foreverness, with eternity representing a timeless state, one that exists outside of our temporal experience, rather than basic, vanilla foreverness- time essentially going on and on and never stopping. Well, I’m no philosopher, and I do not wish to iron out these nuances. We Americans aren’tContinue reading “How to Live Forever*”

Identifyyoself

It’s peak political season, so I feel a duty to comment on our current state of affairs. American politics is a disaster. This we all know. So rather than rail against all that is wrong with the current political climate, I’d like to focus on what is possibly one of the best features to ariseContinue reading “Identifyyoself”

The worst question ever asked

I remain haunted by a question. After years and years, it still occasionally bubbles up into the perimeters of my conscious mind and makes me shudder. For I still don’t have a good answer. There is no good or right answer. There is no winning. There is only losing. There are only wrong answers…. MyContinue reading “The worst question ever asked”

You Can Do Better

This is a post for myself more than a message to anyone else. Lately, I’ve been disappointed in my own self-discipline. The truth is, I have not been exercising my will-power as much as I should, and it has resulted in me wasting lots and lots of time. So here is a message to myself,Continue reading “You Can Do Better”

Idiotic Logic

I fear people will see me as an idiot. For what I do. For what I say. For what I write. For how I act. For what I create and contribute. But also, I am a harsh judge of others. I’d say I’m fair and objective, but maybe lacking some compassion. Honestly, I think manyContinue reading “Idiotic Logic”

Chatting With Chat GPT About The Band

The steamiest, moist-est, stankiest thing to do on the interweb right now is to talk with Open AI’s chatbot, Chat GPT. I figured I should say hi. Quick disclaimer: I have no insightful comments or opinions regarding this technology. Remember, I am a dummy. However, I will comment anyways, because that’s my right as anContinue reading “Chatting With Chat GPT About The Band”

What the F#%K is the Economy, Anyhow?

Every week without fail, a new issue of The Economist shows up in my mailbox, and every week without fail, I fail to read it. Well that’s not entirely accurate or fair to myself. I certainly fail to finish it. Often, in a desperate attempt to feel like I’m getting my money’s worth, I franticallyContinue reading “What the F#%K is the Economy, Anyhow?”
