Thinking of Henry B a lot these last few days.

"In principle González believed in working within the system to effect change, but in practice he pulled no punches."
"...Never had a conflict of interest. . . . His only special interest was his constituents. He never let them down."

One of the few politicians I've ever respected unconditionally. Ever heard of the Castro Brothers? Spiritual and literal successors to Henry B.

I dunno what's going on with the local grocery store sushi (don't judge, it scratches the itch), but they're now PILING on the rice. Like triple the amount of rice as usual.
They haven't raised the price, or shrunk the fish....they just...put it on a wall of rice.

Nothing so bad as dissapointing barbecue.

"I kinda wanna draw something. What if I drew a cover to ....................Woah, I actually WANT to draw. Guess those injections are working."

Last Boost: I drew Kei in that martini glass on the cover of one of my textbooks in high school. No one complained. :)

Cyndi Lauper sang the Pee-Wee's Playhouse theme?!

Thinking Big Thoughts today. Lots of ramifications based on those thoughts and a real Nexus of where the future can go. And a lot of those branches from that point aren't the best.

Watching people change for the worse....

Thoughts Before Bed

Sometimes, you don't have the same shared experiences as your friends. You have to remember that YOU can be the minority in an opinion, even if your own mindset is all you know.

I do my best, but I've got some serious thinking to do over the next few days.

Silly Jenn Fact: I got an early copy of Half-Life back in the day as a gaming company I was afiliated with was asked to make some deathmatch levels for World Opponent Network ready for Day One.

Nothing I made was used in our levels, but I spent a LOT of time in 1998 in the game, testing Deathmatch levels, playing the main game, and dabbling in level creation (I was hired mostly to write documentation and make the occasional graphic).

To this day, if I want to relive the late 90s, I'll fire it up and play a few levels.

WWHBD?

(What Would Henry B Do?)

The #1 thing I miss about Twitter is the ability to complain directly to company's social media platforms so I can complain about things like the cashier at the Monroe 7-Eleven literally walking away from cashing me out, then specifically avoiding me while making eye contact for three minutes until I finally just walked out.

Sometimes, they listened.

My brain is in a wierd place right now. All night long I kept dreaming about a stunt man who keeps driving directly into a squib, or an explosion, or a bullet. Kept dreaming he'd do it again and again.

I woke up to go to the bathroom, and when I went back to bed, he was at it again. Driving into an explosion or fire or bullets.

I woke up, got on with my day, and was feeling tired so I took a nap a few hours later...and again, same stunt person driving I into fire/bullets/whatnot over and over again....
