New decoration, found at a local used tool shop, for my future murder shed (aka: me writing man cave). Well used, beat to shit, and rusty. The perfect weapon for a slasher. Now off to write an appropriate story for said ax.

Been staying off socials because... holy fuck... the rage I feel any time I read the news is causing my blood pressure to spike to unheard levels. Fuck this administration and their fuckitude of fuckery. Most useless pieces of trash I have ever seen.
Anger released. Blood pressure stabilizing.

I just uploaded some of my enamel pins to my online shop. I'm always cycling through different designs so I don't always have every pin forever. Some of these are very limited.

Attempting to get out of this bit of a writing slump that I'm in, but damn if the world ain't doing its best to fuck with me. There is only so much terrible news and idiocracy that I can avoid in one day. Dumbest and worst timeline all roll into one...

Hard to think of anything upbeat and fun. Past few days in L.A. have been devastating for the spirit. Not the way I had hoped for 2025 to begin, but life moves forward and so must I.

It's been a hell of a stressful fucking week and month... and I still have the next four fucking years to deal with. No wonder I have fucking high blood pressure. I have a feeling what little patience I have left will be worn away by the grit of awfulness that looms over everything. Fuck.

Somedays I wake up, open the news, read a few articles, and just ask, "What the fuck?"
Followed by, "Fucking hell."
Then, "Fuck me."
And finally, "I'm going back to fucking bed."
I pull the covers over my head and repeatedly say: "Fuck this shit!"
In other words, I like to say fuck.
A lot.

You may have survived Krampus and stayed on Santa's good side. But it's not over. All must be good till January 6th lest you anger Frau Perchta. And believe me, she is much harsher than the other two.

I'm in the mood for a creature feature/splatterpunk western to read. I blame it on the fact that I've played a few too many rounds of Hunt: Showdown or, in fact, that I'm moving to the high desert to be among the Joshua Trees.
Watch out Yucca Man, I'm gunning for ya!

Been reading more short stories of late. Also novellas. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good thick novel still, but sometimes I feel the padding on those stories. Sometimes a quick, concise story is just the perfect antidote for a dreary afternoon.
