The retiring of Andrew Luck has brought up a lot of feelings around the sports community. I mean, I've already talked about it and it hasn't been a week yet. There's a lot of shit, and I've been trying to get through all of it without the emotions hitting me. Nothing like reading a writeup by some jackass to get me so riled up that I have to run up ( Read more... )

A 29 year old retired from his dream. His body was breaking down too fast, and he had to put his health first. Reasonable, right? I mean, I know a lot of us are masochists who push ourselves beyond our physical limits, but the concept of stopping before we kill ourselves is reasonable ( Read more... )

Today, on my lunch break, I came across this article. Since I'm not going to presume you have the time to read, here's the gist: Calvin Johnson and Rob Simms played in the NFL. They are partnering with the brand new International Phytomedicines and Medical Cannabis Institute at Harvard (did not know the word "phytomedicines" was a thing) to conduct ( Read more... )

Between games and work and stressing about everything, I stopped to have a quiet evening catching up on The Twilight Zone. I am completely in awe. I love what they do, I love how they do it... This last one was terrifying in it's reality. I'm still a little shaken, actually. The Twilight Zone is just around the corner. Or maybe we're already living ( Read more... )

I've been having a lot of conflicting feelings about grad school. I'm not gonna lie, I'm more than a little terrified. Work isn't going to go easy on me because I've got a project due for a class. I'd been having a hard enough time concentrating and remembering things... what makes me think I could handle school? If I lost my job for my fuckups let ( Read more... )

I have a report I have to get finished before I go to bed Sunday. It shouldn't be terribly difficult, but it's just a matter of sitting down and doing it. I went to bed prepared to spend all day today on it. I woke up sometime before sunrise and the pup had to go out. And that's when another headache smashed me. So I took some medication and tried ( Read more... )

Now is a really, really bad time for my headaches to have come back. Playoff season. Everything fucking playoff season. College basketball players fresh out of March Madness declaring for the draft. I do love sports, but sometimes working in promotions makes me hate them. They exhaust me. So on all the train rides for the past few days I've started ( Read more... )

I was trying to post about something I've been worried about. But then the Pipster had to go outside. And then when we got back upstairs and I got back on the couch and leaned back and he flopped his head on my stomach. His energy has melted me into the cushions. I feel incapable of formulating thoughts on my worries ( Read more... )

On my unexpected evening off, Maddie and I went to see Us. It did nothing but reinforce my fanboy love of Jordan Peele. It was complex, a combination of creepy, uncomfortable, and scary with a dash of humor. Plus, there are so many little Easter eggs, tidbits of connection to other stories, things you’re left wondering about, that make you go down ( Read more... )

It's been a slow day, and it's been nice to be able to just breathe. I'm working Monday night. It'll be nice to have a weekend without working. Gonna try spending Saturday outside. The pup was excited when I told him. And I realize I haven't shown him to you before:
