  1. I’ve worked in a world renowned children’s hospital for almost a decade. The most ill-behaved, disrespectful, and emotionally/mentally stunted children I have ever seen in my life are the ones that have to have a screen in front of them at all times. It spans all races/religions/income brackets.

  2. Trying to beat Colonial for the Pulido's opening. 
     
    Also, [mention=5553]Herbie Hancock[/mention] never told me Aledo Brookshire's has a fucking bar. 5 dudes there today that looked like they probably meet pretty regularly on Sundays. 

    Ha I never venture over there these days. If I have to grocery shop out there I support the family business and go to HEB. I do know the Tom Thumb on W 7th had a half dozen taps at one point, but it’s probably been 2 years since I set foot in there. Brookshires is supposed to be cheap beers. Not dollar beer cheap, but reasonable.
  3. It’s like having the TV on nonstop at home, noise that you don’t realize is actually soaking in. 

    I don’t understand the willful ignorance of people, my parents included. I also don’t understand the intentional consumption of negativity.

    Example: I opened Instagram this morning while finishing up my cardio because it’s a distraction from the mundane. Chad Prather was at the top of my feed. I started following him 7-8?? years ago because he was a standup comedian that I found humorous. He has now morphed into a hateful, absolute lunatic right wing nutter . The video that he posted this morning was him reacting/responding to a Dylan Mulvaney post, and of course it was hateful and derogatory. I did what I should have done long ago and unfollowed Chad. Not because I am a fan of Mr./Mrs. Mulvaney because I am not at all, but because I refuse to intentionally subject myself to that kind of negativity. It has to be a truly miserable existence to devote so much of your time and energy to being negative like that. But there are hundreds/thousands of comments on that post and many others just like it that echo Chad’s words or add even more hatefulness to them.

  4. The fucking olds are on social media 10x more than anyone else. My mother and father (mid 60’s) are the worst offenders. Not a single visit with them goes by where one or both them will go off on some societal/political rant, and when you make the unfortunate mistake of engaging them like I do, you discover the rant to be based upon something “I heard”. Ask a few more questions and they didn’t actually “hear” anything; they saw a fucking meme from some slapdick troll account named Barry Mccockinner and ran with it. These are intelligent, college educated people getting spun up by total nonsense. Absolutely insane.

  5. Chic Fil A last night for my family of four (me, wife no pics, 8 year old, 5 year old).  $56.  There were 2 nuggets leftover.  Fml.

    I have a Chik Fil A in the cafeteria at one of my jobs. I get 10% off when I swipe my employee ID. My total on my last order, for me, was $41. Y’all some skinny fuckers.

    Remember what Margaret Mead said:
    Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. 


    And you sir need to remember what Tommy Callahan said: “I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a butchers’ ass”.
