Smokers here don’t know how to use ash trays. Today’s mood is sponsored by this song;

A colleague of mine asked my sister if I was autistic yesterday. I was annoyed by it because... My brother is autistic... I know there’s a spectrum; and chances are I’m in it in some way or another... but it’s not something this 19 year old colleague could notice.

I take it as an insult to my brother, because he has some serious disabilities that need addressing. Someone saying I’m autistic because I’m not eager to participate in some social interactions sort of undermines the pedagogical challenges the disorder presents.

I didn’t need special help; but someone deeper in the spectrum might... throwing the word around to describe someone who is not particularly sociable but doesn’t present any obvious symptoms of the disorder undermines the disorder itself; like loudly declaring you cannot eat gluten and also not having celiacs disease.

Truth is my brother is going to require intense preparation for college... which is why I don’t want people to assume being diagnosed with autism is some sort of rite of passage in the 21st century. Or that being strange makes you autistic, again... it undermines the actual, observable,  disorder.

My building’s fire alarm went off at 7 this morning. Better than the last time at 4.

When they were current, Oasis was one of the most overplayed bands ever. I vividly remember turning off my TV (MTV playing Wonderwall), getting in the car and having Wonderwall on the radio, driving to work, and Wonderwall was playing on the digital radio there, too. I thought I was going to have to commit suicide.

Seems like overexposure was a much bigger issue for musicians back when they only had a couple of media options.

I haven’t done a leg day in while...even going light my legs are already sore. Tomorrow should be fun.

There doesn’t have to be a “you” there to experience it. You are it, you are the experience, you are the totality of everything that is being perceived(and everything else too, but the brains individual Neuro network isn’t connected to the whole universe so you don’t feel everything in existence on a superficial level although everything that “you” are experiencing is the sum total of everything is the universe concentrated at the place we call here and now). Our language structure fails to convey this properly because we have separate nouns and verbs, but in reality the nouns are the verbs and vic e versa, everything is a gerund essentially.

$400 to rent a 15 cu yd dumpster to clean out the house, attached 2-car car garage, and detached 2-wide 2-deep garage my mom’s late husband left filled with junk. He never threw anything anyway. At least we found over $700 in change last Saturday.

I had my neighbor’s car towed, again. He parked in my driveway, again. I could not get out to get to work so I was late, again .

Any party I went to,where even one person claimed to be ‘woke’ would have this song... so it was overplayed a bit.

But it’s the only song I can think of right now

My neighbor sometimes parks like an asshole, when that happens I put my mom’s GMT900 in a similar fashion next to his car.

I then take 10 mins “looking for the keys” when he asks if we can move it.

He always gets it... parks better for like two months, then the cycle repeats.

Found a shop worth looking at on Zillow. Headed over there to meet my realtor in 15 min. Excited to see in what way this place is effed up. I’m going to guess... foundation made entirely of cheese or actively on fire.

I clogged my kitchen sink whilst cooking this morning. The garbage disposal turns fine, but the water doesn’t drain. I was making a breakfast casserole that uses a dozen eggs and I think it was the shells that plugged up the works. The other side of the sink drains fine so it’s just on the disposer side. I just really don't feel like tearing it apart and dealing with the mess.

Our former mayor used to carry out monthly tests of the seismic alarm... shamefully they wouldn't tell us when those would occur

Neither sounds optimal, but from a repair point of view, I’d prefer the fire

The best drills are the ones you don't know are a drill.

Just took Friday off to go look at a car that I may end up buying. I will be flying there and looking at a C5Z06. Also, called the motor vehicle department, my bank, my friend to drop me to the airport and booked a airbnb. + work is starting to pile up. Been a busy morning...

Oh but these weren’t drills... it was just a test of the alarm system

That sounds rather annoying.... but the sooner you fix it, the sooner it’s gonna work... and stop being an annoyance

My son is getting pumped about biking.. He is 7 and just got his first real mountain bike on Sunday;

A nd now I’m trying not to feel like an old looking for some upgrades.. tires, pedals to start.. We’ll see what else it needs after a tune up.

My five year old son compares every car he sees on our way to school to a McLaren F1. And I do mean every car .

Him: “Dad, is that car faster than a McLaren F1?”

Me: [sees a Dodge Challenger] “Nope, the McLaren is still faster.”

Him: “What about that blue car over there?”

Me: [sees M3] “No, still not faster.”

Him: “Is that red car faster?”

Me: [sees Lexus ES] “......so how’s soccer practice going?”

T hat’s a bad neighbor. I feel your pain.

The guy who lives downstairs in our building is a real piece of work as well. Long story short, he wanted to move into our place for the improved second floor view but the landlord denied him. As a result, the guy has been a passive aggressive nightmare for the 6 years we’ve lived here. I could write a book detailing his antics, but suffice to say he’s an inconsiderate prick. He’s also an OCD germaphobe, which is great if you love the smell of straight bleach or ammonia throughout all of the common areas every single day. The common areas, all of which he treats as an extension of his living room.

I pretty much just ignored his antics for years, until my kid was born, at which point the guys   behavior began to grate on me. Tried addressing things the proper way with little change, landlord is a pussycat so can’t expect much there, so I’ve been fighting fire with tnt .

For example, he comes home at 6: 30am from working the overnight and proceeds to sit in the carport directly below me blaring Hotel California in it’s entirety? Well sir, I hope you like Bass House , because I have a pair of 15" monitors with compression horns on them, plus a bass reflex box with four 15" subs in my motherfucking BEDROOM, with another 3000w rms 15" in the back of my car. You didn’t know that because I’m generally not a dick to my neighbors, but g ood luck sleeping between 9am-4pm on any day of my choosing. Gotta practice m y DJ skills. Oh, and I think I might need to make some mdf circles with my router sometime today too. Should only be a couple of hours.

Oh, what’s that, y ou just vacuumed my parking space in the driveway yesterday? Hey, h ave some sawdust. I might even track some mud through the foyer while my coffee dribbles on the linoleum. Don’t worry, I’ll clean it tomorrow.

*Goes upstairs and listens to 4 hours of rage-cleaning through the floorboards*

I used to identify cars as either "Mercedes" or "Not a mercedes"
