Gotta add a couple of names to the People I Want to Fight list. First up is Greta whatsherass…seriously, what’s her name. Hold on. Googling annoying Swedish climate whiner…Thurnberg. This hypocritical little shit. Comes over here lecturing the U.N. and anyone else into being told off by some impudent little viking about how your use of toilet paper is destroying her bullshitty utopian dreams. Then she makes this huge deal about not flying, and has a photo op on the yacht that is taking her back to the North Pole. What wasn’t mentioned was that the skipper of the yacht flew from England to the U.S., thus negating whatever carbon emissions Gretyl claiming to be saving by taking a boat instead of a commercial flight. Also, this fucking boat was not some all-wood thing hewn by the climate-loving Vikings. No…this 40-foot behemoth is priced at $18 million and the only wood on it is the fully stocked wet bars on each floor. That thing used so many fossil fuels and environmentally harmful processes and chemicals to be built. How environmentally friendly is a 40-foot fiberglass hull? It is also equipped with a pretty massive and fully fueled back-up diesel engine. ICE should have arrested her for truancy and thrown her back in the goddamn ocean. Idiot.

The second idiot on the list is Colin Kaepernick. This ungrateful fuck can’t shut up about how terrible the country and economic system which has allowed him to achieve success far greater than he could ever have anywhere else in the world is. Dude…the reason you can’t get anyone to hire you is not because of any racist system…it’s because you suck. You’re a shit quarterback, but you’re also an asshole and nobody wants to work with you. So this idiot celebrated “Unthanksgiving” with some Native Americans, just talkin’ waffle about history and how terrible the United States is and how we Americans took everything from the Indians. Which, fine. But that’s where he stops, and that’s the problem I have with him and all the other virtue signalers making so much noise these dark days: they spend their days bitching at us about what a rotten society this is and lecturing US about needing to do something, all the while doing exactly jack shit themselves. He’s got a couple of massive properties, yet he hasn’t given a single square inch of his land to our indigenous brethren. If you wanna give it back, fine…you go first. And why isn’t he hounding all his (former) NFL millionaire coworkers who also own massive amounts of property to give their shit back? Nope. That will never happen.

I’ve had to listen to a pretty unbearable amount of bullshit from guilty white liberals about how terrible the country and capitalism and white people are. Everyone of them has a university degree (construction workers and tow truck drivers are working way too hard to worry about their fictitious privilege). They will talk your ear off right up until you start asking questions: you got your degree from _______ University? “Yes.” Did you offer your spot in your class to someone who was less privileged than you? “Well, no…” Did you offer to pay the tuition and buy the books of a minority instead of paying your own way? Even once? Did you ever even consider it? “Well, that’s not…” No, that is exactly the point. The people who lecture the loudest have typically done the absolute least in terms of actual help or even actual action.

The only people I’ll listen to lectures about fossil fuels and the environment from is the Amish, and according to them, the climate is fine. Everyone else is full of shit.

Happy as a pig in shit about The Rain, dear reader, but everything else can kiss my ass. Not that everything else is going to terribly…I’m just in a bit of a mood tonight.

It’s finally December, which is probably my favorite month of the year. November was a wash, but by design. I’d written the entire month off before it even started to deal with a bunch of non-me stuff. And mission accomplished. But now it’s December…time to catch up. Or at least attempt to catch up. Okay…catching up is impossible…I’m decades behind. But get back on a more regular and productive schedule. That’s what’s happening this month.

Wrote a bit and then did some upgrades in the studio set up…there’s this song I really need to record. Gonna try to do that tomorrow.

This is my favorite time of year, but mostly for meteorological reasons, certainly not societal ones. People are incredibly annoying this time of year. Without getting into a big thing, I find it strange that people will suddenly festoon their rotten hovels with multicolor lights, garish and cartoonish balloons, and extravagant light shows choreographed to typically bitchin’ music. Which is great. I’m all for it. But then, right around the new calendar year, they take all that shit down, and I guess pretend it never happened and wait until next Thanksgiving rolls around so they can put the cool shit up again? Why? Why not rock the laser shows all year round? It doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus, so take Christmas out of the equation. If it’s some oppressive HOA, they don’t suddenly rewrite the rules for one month out of the year. Why not stick it to those drones all year round? If it’s because you somehow think the neighbors won’t be completely annoyed my you if you engage in this behavior from the last week of November to the last week of December, wrong there too: your neighbors are annoyed by you during the holiday season. So what is the reason? The reason is, of course, that you are slaves to societal pressures and allowances you don’t even seem to be aware of. That’s the best case scenario. It’s far worse if you are aware of them and just decide to go along with it.

It’s a holiday in The Matrix today, dear reader, which is a cue for yrs. truly to not leave the house. If you partook of this holiday, I hope you did so with vigor and enthusiasm, and I hope you found it rewarding.

Our culture is just the worst, dear reader, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you. But god damn people are fucking dim. I don’t know how you deal with it.

The good news is today I got paid a not insignificant amount to sit in a pub for two hours and eat bacon. The world works in mysterious ways.

My old friend The Rain is coming back to town tomorrow. Finally. It’s been far too long. I get it though. He’s kind of a moody dude. Rather particular about where he spends his time. I don’t blame him. I wouldn’t spend much time in Anhedonia if I was a force of nature either. Wait a minute…I am a force of nature. So what the fuck am I doing here? Maybe I’ll ask him that when we meet up for lunch tomorrow.

N.P.: “Hush” – Gotthard

Guess who’s coming to town, dear reader…go on, guess. Since you can’t guess, I will tell you: Winter! Sorry, Fall…Summer ate up all your time with his rude refusal to get the hell out, never mind what the calendar has say about it. So fine…we’re going to go bone dry fire weather to to subfreezing temperatures and rain/snow in roughly 36 hours. We don’t need no meteorological segues. I’ll take it. The nights are now longer than the days and shall only get more so for another month. Let there be night.

N.P.: “Life’s a Bitch” – Accept

Today started and stayed with me in one of the most foul moods I’ve ever been in. Just a mushroom-cloud-layin’ day. Actually had to quit doing errands and come home for the greater good and to avoid a body count.
But it ended up ending pretty well. Yeah.

N.P.: “Small World” – Skold

Unrealistically tired. But still managing to get an impressive amount of writing done, and I think most of it is really good (jury’s still out on the rest, but it’s probably pretty damn good too (been on a bit of an inexplicable roll, lately)). Maybe exhaustion is the key. Maybe surfing the edge of complete psychological and physical collapse in the fuel I need.
So be it. Back to work.
