I walk into the bank. It is almost closing time on a Saturday afternoon. It is pretty packed as a result. People getting in their last minute banking before Monday. The line is long. A manager walks up to me and asks if she can help. I tell her I’m just looking to make a deposit. She asks if she can show me how to do it at the ATM. ‘NOPE!’ is all I say. I have little interest in that. I still believe in human interaction. Bankers should be grateful I do. Don’t let machines take over the world!

22 OctSo what are we gonna do about it? There are problems with race relations. Problems with sexual assault. Problems with misogyny. There are international problems with Russia, Korea, China, the Middle East.
We have health care issues including childhood obesity, cancer, AIDS, and even the Black Plague.
We are declining in education. Losing out in tech and science industries.
Our infrastructure is falling apart. In some places water is not drinkable.
Somehow we have Nazis in this country.
We look at each and point the finger of blame instead of taking responsibility. So what are we gonna do about it?

20 OctNot every guy is a predator. Not every girl is a slut.
All black people aren’t lazy. All white people aren’t racists.
All Asians aren’t bad drivers. Nor are they all good at math.
Not all white/Asian guys have small penises. Not all black guys are packing.
Why are racial stereotypes out there? Where’d they come from? Some are positive, most are negative. Here’s the thing… We need to ignore them. I know people use them because it makes it easier to make a decision about people.
I like watermelon and fried chicken. And I have a big weiner. 😀

19 OctHe reached down to pick the sock up the floor. He back started to spasm before he even was a 10 percent decline. ‘Nope, not gonna happen’ he thought. He went to reach for it with his toes. He scrunched it up under his big toe and had a good grasp on it. He made several attempts to throw it up to his hand to no avail. He finally decided to put the sock on the armrest of the couch. He was able to grab it from there. He then realized he couldn’t put it on his foot. GOD DAMMIT!

17 OctTeamwork is defined as ‘the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.’ I am thankful that this is true.
I have recently taken over the hosting duties of a monthly talk show. And while this may not seem like much, it takes up a LOT of time. We schedule guests, plan bits, work on videos, write jokes, make lists and more. It is not just about talking to people.
And I have to admit I am a moron. My technical skills are poor. Thankfully I have a great team around me to make things work!

16 OctOne day that dog is gonna die of sleep. All it does is lie on the bed, couch, chair and sometimes the floor and sleep. If it didn’t have to get up to go eat or take a dump it wouldn’t.
The owner was fine with that though. He liked that the dog was low maintenance. He liked that he didn’t have to do much. The dog never wanted to go for walks. It didn’t jump up on him. They had a connection that way.
He picked up the dog and put him on the bed for one last nap.
