Amazing post in a forum about hyundais

I don't mean to sound so negative, but I spent most of my 30+ year career in corporate management and could tell you stories that would make you shake your head and have it spin like the chick from The Exorcist. The things a company will do, or the lengths a corp. will go to to maintain numbers, positive press, you name it - it's deplorable. Things I dare not even begin to discuss in an open forum, so trust me when I tell you - this recall, for the most part, is a dog and pony show.

Words i've been saying a lot lately

"Hostility" and "hostile"

"Imagination" and "imaginative" and "moral imagination" and "morality"

3. write some songs for potential jam session w/ H
4. listen to top singles from various years on RYM to get inspired
5. chop boxes in family room
6. finish "this life"
7. get psyched for hockey tonight (more drinking?)
8. play mass effect
9. finish "american honey"?

A new title for this blog

Beer Diary sounds too bro-ish.

This is a record of times when I had a bit to drink and then decided to write.

But I don't care about the flavor or texture of beer.  I'm not a pretentious asshole.

Get me drunk and let me write!

Drunken Writings, that's the new blog title.

That's a terrible blog title.

The Craft (Beer) of Writing

fuck me I'm so stupid

What a prick I am

"The consequences of my actions," come off it, Wolfe

Things you cannot say on Facebook #1

I can't say, "I'm not having children" on Facebook, because then all the people who are expecting/have children will be like, "What a DOUCHE."

And they would not be wrong, but lemme explain...

My decision is not necessarily a judgment on other people, but it also kind of is.  Sort of like the vegetarian thing.  I choose not to eat meat because I think it's wrong.  It's a decision I've made after considering the consequences of my actions.  I'm choosing not to have kids because I think it's wrong FOR ME.  Is is wrong for the world (the way eating meat DEFINITELY IS)???  That remains to be seen.

I really don't want people to fear my judgment, because I don't matter at all.

But I also want people to know, like, this is how I feel.  And how I feel is informed by a consideration of the future.  And the future looks bleak for everybody.  Why would you want to introduce kids into that mix?

Like when they're my age they will literally be staring down armageddon.

Do you all really want that?

Reasons to not have children

Do people just lack imagination about what adult life can be?  There are many things out there that can be learned, there are many things that are interesting.  Why do we default to "kids" when we consider what our 20s/30s/40s/50s could hold?

- I want to just hang out w/ my wife
- We want to hang out w/ our friends
- I don't want my potential child to grow up in a world that's going headlong into apocalyptic territory
- Seriously if you haven't thought about what climate change is gonna do to the next generation, why are you having children
- My children should not be more afraid than me, but they will be if this shit continues
- God I don't wanna spend every day in kidland.  I want to talk about ideas, not poop
- Or even if I'm talking about poop I want it to be in like in an adult way

Patio Friday

My Friday began in awesome fashion w/ two margaritas and a beer on the patio.  I only drank water after that.  I woke up without a hangover!  Life is grand.
