So, I turn 44 in a couple of weeks, and apparently my midlife crisis consists of going to bed at a responsible hour, waking up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, and waking up at a proper hour in the morning where I can make and eat breakfast, and perform tai chi to limber myself up.
FUCK the medical system in this country. 🤬

So, Rush is back....you gonna go see em?

I seem to recall that this was your favorite song by them....and it's a bloody GOOD one! 😁

As George Carlin said, "Conservatives only care about live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers."
She called in asking for money for military employees specifically because her husband is a soldier. Who cares if some other kids whose parents are federal employees but not military get fucked over, right?

MAGA is only interested in untended kids that are around 10-14

But he doesn't care.
So, Rush is coming back....and, goddammit, I am going to SEE THEM this time!

Seriously....I've had MULTIPLE chances to see them this past 20 years, and yet, something came around and I couldn't.

Then R40 came around....and then we lost Neil. 😢
I need to rewatch TAS. It's been too long.
I just hope they play Afterimage, and dedicate it to Neil.
Something ALWAYS came up, and I'd have to cancel, and I SWORE I'd see them next time.

And then, before I knew it, R40 happened....and then, we lost Neil. 😢

Now, I have another chance.

I have NO DOUBT that the band Ged and Lerxst are putting together will be AMAZING, and I want to be there for it!
I am going to make it my MISSION to see Rush in LA next June!

I had SO many opportunities to see Rush over the past 20 years....even living in Alaska, KNOWING that I'd have to save a shit ton of money to fly down to the closest place they were playing in the lower 48.

Wow. Never thought it'd happen.
Next summer Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will take Rush on the road for the first time in 11 years. Marking 50+ years of the band, the tour will celebrate the legacy of their late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, and it’s happening with his family’s blessing.
Rush Announce Their First Tour Since Neil Peart’s Death
Rush’s Neil Peart, one of the great figures in prog-rock history, passed away in 2020, losing a battle to brain cancer at the age of 67. Peart wasn’t just the drummer for the Canadian institution; he ...

❌ Wrong.

The correct answer was: "I don't pardon convicted sex traffickers."
Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.
You're a good egg, Bob. 🖖
This is one of my top three all-time favorite video games. One of its sequels, Stranger's Wrath, is also in the top 3, along with Mario 64.

No incarnation of any political party at any time in any country on earth has ever spent so much time thinking about children’s genitals.
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
Danny should maybe take a look at the crime and drug rate in the state he claims to represent.
Not sure how this guy lives with himself and his absolute devotion to the Trump regime. So ashamed that he claims to represent our state.
And Murkowski: "inappropriate" does not even come close to defining the outrage of a president using our military against us!

Sullivan endorses Trump’s deployment of military to Chicago
Sen. Sullivan says the crime rate justifies sending in the troops. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, on the other hand, considers it inappropriate.

HBO was never up to the task.

Fortunately, Dave Attell and Anthony Bourdain were.
You'd be surprised how many "high society" fuckers I've seen get completely shithammered in dive bars.
Northern Exposure has about as much to do with Alaska as I do with brain surgery.

Which is to say, NOT A BLOODY GODDAMNED THING.
I live in Alaska. Salmon and melon are NOT uncommon in my neck of the woods.
Trunks going Super Saiyan should have been cued to the "One Last Time" guitar reprise in "Finally Free."

This is the one: youtu.be/tdZKo7hPzmE?...

5:28 is the cue.

Also, I'm SO happy that this got you into Dream Theater. They're a WONDEFUL band. 🤘

So, I finally saw the version of "History of Trunks" that had the Dream Theater soundtrack....and, frankly....I would have made different choices with said soundtrack!
