This holiday season, surround yourself with loved ones, hold on tight, and never let go. :) 🐶❤️😇

Like Carol in Pluribus, I have some fight in me.

Fuck AI, praise humanity and individuality, and please wake up everyone. This tech is scary and will influence and impact all of us, sooner rather than later.

I've had 3 months to dedicate my life towards it.

AI sucks!

Chat GPT and AI are NOT your friends!

Just posting for posterity.

We are all now witnessing how Nano Banana Pro is potentially making future pics almost impossible to determine what is real or fake...

Can AI help "retail" trade stocks?

"ALGO BOTS" and the "BIG 3 ASS MNGRs" have been in control of price action for a decade+.

Just a reminder that Alex Ovechkin is 40 years old and is still scoring at a 40 goal pace.

He's a unicorn, Russian Machine Never Breaks, and we are witnessing a GOAT in real time.

One of my last shoots at the Washington Post was covering his unique slap shot.

Above was a still frame from a vid that showcased Gretzky's acting skills!

And try my best to love again!

Me in 2026:

Create my own production company, imjustabillproductions.com, obtain a dozen professional certificates in the video production realm, regain my remote drone pilot’s license, master AI pic to vid resources and Adobe After Effects animations, and cut out late night snacks!

Alas, it’s proven difficult to replace Gretzky’s void and sometimes it feels impossible to move on without him.

Thankfully, I have that prism that shines his light on me each day, pictures of him throughout my house, and hundreds of pics and vids on my iCloud to remind me of his greatness.

Shaq and I created these Shaqademy Awards for two years, before I left for the Washington Post.
Basically, taking the most buzzed about movie trailers and replacing the stars with Shaq, who always wanted to be a movie star.

And we only when viral when we mocked JaVale Mcgee, and got in trouble!

If you live/work in Washington D.C., they say if you want a friend, get a dog.

Now that Gretzky has passed, I'm looking to meet new friends here, human friends b/c I can't adopt a dog again this quickly, so I'm going to have to "science the Shaq out of this!"

All dogs go to heaven, via the rainbow bridge, right?

The nicest gift that I could ever receive (or imagine) was from my cousins, who sent me a crystal prism, which I hang from my window, so now the morning sun light sparkles throughout my apartment, and I "see" Gretzky everywhere!

❤️ you fam!

What do I miss, besides EVERYTHING?

Unconditional love.

An amazing listener.

Always down for an adventure.

Totally cool with today’s menu, and always gets a plate.

So excited to see me.

Always down to cuddle.

LIKEWISE, BUDDY!

Two years ago, Gretzky (at 13 yrs old) was able to climb the tallest peaks in Shenandoah.

One morning, we woke up and climbed higher than the clouds together.

Prophetic, poetic, and majestic days.
November 21, 2025 at 10:00 PM
It took almost 3 months but my subconscious now allows me to see my dog Gretzky (who passed on Aug. 31) in my dreams almost every night.

It is so bizarre how the mind, and grief works. No matter how much you try and manipulate it, healing just takes time.

Miss you, buddy!

Gizmo loved her big brother Gretzky.

I always joke about that Ghostbusters quote, "Dogs and Cats living together... Mass hysteria!"

For me, it was the opposite. We brought each other peace and connection.

Gizmo mourned, btw. Howled for days and stared at the door, hoping he would come back.

🥲
November 14, 2025 at 11:50 PM
She won't beg for meat, pizza, or french fries like Gretzky, but she's all about Doritos!
November 14, 2025 at 11:33 PM
Gizmo is great. My bucket list for this winter is introducing her to some DC snowfall!

I'll post pics when it happens.
November 14, 2025 at 11:32 PM
On a lighter note, my Siberian cat Gizmo gave herself a promotion and is now head of household after Gretzky’s passing.

I will make sure to claim myself as her dependent on my 2025 taxes! 😜

She now cuddles with me like this cat EVERY night! ❤️ it!

And Vince Gilligan is the GOAT b/c he'll explore AI -> Fascism while exposing the naivety of Socialism aka ignoring the importance of individual incentives, assuming a capacity for a collective good that may not exist, and has historically led to economic stagnation, corruption, and loss of freedom.

A clone is DNA based without memory.

Clone Gretzky a hundred times and each won’t react or behave exactly like him.

Do our siblings or children, 99.9% similar in “code” act just like us?

Nah. And it’s wonderful!

Alas, miss your dog as I do, Mr. Brady?

Grieve.

Then adopt again!
