I want a Maine Coon and Warhammer 40k for my birthday – the board and video game. I’m not gonna hold my breath, though – still waiting for a baby hippo, like a real baby hippo, not a skinny pig that reminds me of a baby hippo.
My writing friend got me a sweet desk calendar.
My coworkers wished me a happy birthday. Thank you, Jer! Thank you, Belarus! Thank you bossman, you fuckin’ douchy, meany festering pushole. (that’s not nice, so I struck it out). His bday is in Dec, too, but he’s not a Capricorn!
Recently, I learned, viaĀ The Life DesignerĀ journal, that …
Situations where you felt upset, frustrated or disappointed means that your values were violated or missing in that situation. (I am not free to live my core values at work). And also, describing activities you love to do can tell you what your core values are. Neat right!)
My Core Values – Grouped According to Me
- Learning Shit: Ideas, Knowledge, Competence, Curiosity, Critical Thinking
- Being Authentic n Shit: Accountability, Integrity, Punctuality, Transparency
- Fun Shit: Playfulness, Humour, Creativity, Innovation, Proactive Action, Simplicity, Variety
Last Friday, December 20 was my dad’s birthday and I forgot but he reminded me via text … At first, I was like, what!? What do you mean Father’s Day!?

Beta Me
Happy Birthday for to me
Happy Birthday for to me
Happy Birthday dear samski
Happy Birthday for to me
š¶
In addition to forgetting everyone’s birthday, including my kids,
sometimes I forget my birthday so when people forget to wish me, it’s ok.
My birthday is a big deal for me sometimes. I don’t expect it to be a big deal for anyone else.
But birthday wishes always feel Tony the Tiger Grrrrreat!
Today I am 5.1 yrs old (the beta version)
The final release is years away – don’t wait around.
Now you know what I look like with my head down vs up.
Winner Winner Christmas Dinner
I hope you had a good Christmas day. I’m over celebrating it once again. I put up our little old desktop tree last minute, but we didn’t do lights, decorations or other such things. Maybe in a few years, I will feel to dress my home for Christmas.
The boy who grunts at me made Lasagne for dinner …
Logic Over Emo – Sometimes Only
I gave up on training my inner voice to be quiet – he wouldn’t shut up long enough to listen. Yes, it is a man. A grumpy, mean, old white man who is suspicious of everyone, especially black people.
The other day he said, “You’re only good at doing short things. Don’t even attempt long things, your attention span can’t handle it.” But then I remembered, long things are a series of short things so I can do long things too. š„°
I also learned recently that I can remove emotions and use a decision tree to develop the best path forward. Cool right!? I made a big decision recently and if I hadn’t relied on logic, the outcome would have been tragic, but due to my excitement I would not have noticed it till a few months in.
Cheers! To 2025! Happy New Year!
My new year starts today. I have to schedule my posts for next week. You might get a poem on Monday if I can finish this damn sonnet or you will get an idea – but I want to keep poems to Mondays and rando shit to Wednesdays and journal entries to Fridays. Wish me luck.
… And you get a tariff! And you get a tariff! š
