They say "history repeats itself". I can finally confirm that statement to be true as I put my money in the safest place I know - the walls of my house.

Quitting the highest paying but least skillful of my contract jobs today

It won't be a breeze financially, but if the last week has confirmed anything it's that playing by "the rules" and being complacent is a fool's errand

Taking my "free time" to work on my own business again

Fuck the norm

My old podcast co-host (shout out to Zack!) is from Wales and regularly used the term "bloody hell", which I of course picked up from him.

It took a minute, but now my wife and kids have picked the term up from me.

We're all doing our part to brong culture to the southern United States.. 😂

Me after the last week of watching a fugton of my retirement go up in smoke and the rest of it go towards buying tissues to combat my allergies

Shout-out to the first video game I ever saw in the wild -

Wedged between the wildly popular Disco Fever pinball machine and the 3 ton air hockey table at our local Skate World, it was the amazingly fun co-op game Fire Truck by Atari

Crash the stock market

Grab stocks cheap

..a tale as old as time...

Me getting drug out of bed in the middle of the damn night by my wife because of tornado warnings around Nashville Tennessee

If it's any consolation, my next door neighbor who I could see watching Fox News 24-7 for the last 6 years through his unshaded living room window as I made my daily grocery jaunt hasn't seemingly watched it in weeks...

@thudfactor ..well if that's the case I give ya a pass..

But as a regular customer I can confirm Goodwill has some boss shirts sporadically if you are diligent 😂

Nothing wreaks of "little bootlicky bitch" quite as thirstily as sporting the company you work for's swag on a video enabled conference call

Of all the supply-chain maladies I've experienced over the last 5 years, none cut my quite as deeply as not being able to buy obscene amounts of Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce at the drop of a hat
