  • I had one of those marriages where it was more roommates than mates. Just very blah. No infidelity, no abuse, but… nothing super great about it either. It took me two years of working up the nerve (and secretly hoping my partner would actually listen and put forth effort), before I ended things. In the end, I admit, that the comfort and stability of the relationship had me thinking of going straight back to her, but we had a fundamental difference that stopped it; I wanted kids, or at least to adopt if we had the means, and she absolutely didn’t. Yes, we discussed it before we got married, but she said she’d “think about it,” and I think we both thought the other would change their mind. I still love and care for her, but we weren’t meant to be married. It hurt so much to split, but was the right thing to do.

    My single life has been actually pretty great since then. I’ve gone to therapy, really focused on myself, really healed a lot. I’ve traveled, learned new things, tried new things, and never once felt ashamed about dancing. But dang, it’s hard dating again, especially when I’m 40 and still trying to find my perfect partner that also wants children. Dating apps means that everyone’s attention is constantly being pulled back to the prospect of finding someone better. Like, you meet, and everything is cool, but the dating app is like an unscratched lottery ticket, you never know what you’ll end up getting by going back in.

    So while my single life has been great, I’m ready for my forever partner, and I fear that maybe, I’m just not good enough to keep my perfect partners attention.






  • This is stupid. My JNCO Jeans back in the 90’s would drag behind me everywhere I went. Water from puddles, bits of crap from the ground, literal crap from the ground, my JNCO Jeans picked it ALL up. I carried that shit with me, I didn’t care, I looked cool as shit. When I went to the mall (Mall; noun: an ancient place of commerce) and got on the escalator, I hiked my jeans up so that the puddley excrement skimmed against my bare shins, and I wouldn’t get sucked down by the demons.

    Fashion is cyclical I guess, but stupidity remains constant.





  • I downloaded this program called “Driver Easy,” which scans my hardware, searches automatically for driver updates, downloads and installs them for me. If I could download a wizard that got rid of windows, installed a nice user-friendly version of linux, while keeping my old programs, files and junk… I’d do it in a heartbeat. All I want to do is play my video games from Steam, download shit to watch, browse the internet, write in Libreoffice… Can I do all those things with Linux? Can I download some install wizard to switch?

    If that wizard existed, a shit ton of people would switch. It’s just the idea of deleting my current OS and putting in a new one makes me thing I’m gonna brick my machine.


  • I changed high schools midway through my sophomore year, going from an all-boy catholic school to public, so I didn’t really know many people from the public high school, besides my immediate social circle. Also they were the cool, class-skipping, weed and cigarette smoking kids, so I doubt they’d be at the class reunion, and they’re probably the only people I’d want to see anyway.

    There was this beautiful girl I went on a date with once who went to my high school… a couple years after I graduated, I saw her at a bar, and she gave me her number. I didn’t even remember her. We went on exactly one date, where she revealed that she nanny’d for a super rich summering-in-a-french-villa family, and for some reason it intimidated me so much I had a panic attack, and before we even got to where we were supposed to go on the date, I turned the car around and took her home. Apologized, and never really spoke again.

    I still think about her, and how beautiful she was, and what the fuck came over me that night. But I doubt she’d be at the reunion.

    Also I haven’t been very successful in my own life (not terrible by any means but, not great) so I wouldn’t really be able to show off much of anything except that I’m much more handsome and physically fit now than I was then. I dunno. Doesn’t seem like much when I’m still riddled with student loan debt and anxiety.


  • Ah yes, so the president was so upset by someone leaking information from his taxes (that he promised to release in 2016 but… never did), that he sued the IRS for Billions of dollars while also seeking a judgment saying that all of his and his families tax returns and filings in perpetuity were now completely immune from scrutiny or prosecution…

    Honestly I’m just surprised it didn’t work. With how, you know, awful everything is. Even good news of a judge slapping it down and referring the attorney for discipline seems like I’m just waiting for the second shoe to fall. Will he bring this before aileen cannon next, and have it be a resounding success? or straight to the corrupt, illegitimate supreme court?








  • Graham became well-known for his close ties with Trump, whom the senator briefly ran against for the presidential nomination in 2016.

    Their relationship would begin on a rough note, with Graham calling the then-New York businessman “unfit for office.” Graham used a profanity to describe Trump after Trump made disparaging comments about Arizona Republican John McCain, Graham’s best friend in the Senate and a Vietnam War veteran.

    During a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump read out Graham’s personal cellphone number and continued to belittle him throughout the 2016 race

    Graham, however, shifted significantly once Trump won the White House and emerged as one of Trump’s top allies — speaking with him frequently and becoming a regular presence on the golf course alongside the president

    HAHAHAHA dumb bitch was “best friends with John McCain” and hated trump, but immediately rolled over like the lil bitch he is (was) when the fat fascist fuck came into power. Spineless coward, everything he did was to benefit himself and hurt others. Rot in hell, dipshit.
