True story: This one time in college, some girl bit off a portion of a guy's ear and a lot of people on campus heard about it.  I think they were an item and something was going on with them.  I think she got suspended and there was a Facebook group to free her or something, which I didn't support.  

Apparently, Incubus has new music.

Firsts in my life:
1.  Met and chatted for a while with a drag queen at work (it was bound to happen since I've worked with just about every kind of person imaginable).
2.  Met not just one, but two people who have great great grandmothers.

Strange, life is.  Almost as strange as me  :) I just read an article about a farmer who was struck by a forklift driven by his dog.    The dog somehow pushed a lever in the forklift.  Yup, you're reading that right.  Also, I watched the Master, which was masterful, and I'm reading But What if We're Wrong by Klosterman.  I seem to be drawn to books and movies that are tough to wrap your head around.  

Also, Justin Bieber celebrated his first Thanksgiving as a married man.  

At least one good thing is on its way.

It is Thanksgiving.  I have things to be thankful for, but it is also sort of a shame that members of my family can be in the same town and have to do separate things because of long held grudges that they've had for many years that were caused by immaturity, jealousy, and lack of empathy.  I guess a lot of families have had problems, but I really feel like mine have set me back.  

Thanksgiving is approaching.  I am counting my positives, as always.

I have to say, I know leadership when I see it.  There is one story in the news lately that shows a group of boys at a Wisconsin high school doing a nazi salute in their prom photo for whatever asinine reason.  One of the boys doesn't do the salute because he knows it isn't the right thing to do. 

Leadership is not doing what everyone else does.  

The beauty of life is it's uncertainty.  I go to work every day not knowing exactly who I am going to end up sitting with or talking to, or how my stomach is going to behave.  Every day is an adventure. 

I am getting into this new album from a new artist called Rosalia.  

 

Funny story.  Some girl at my job noticed me shaking at the end of my shift and started talking to me, and asking me why I was single.  I think the fact that she seemed to care about me made me agree to give her my contact information, and one of my managers jokingly told me to "leave her alone."  Only issue is that she started talking to me about Christ  and everything, and she doesn't know I'm Jewish.  

Speedy recovery to the notorious RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsberg), who suffered an injury.  

History has been made.  Jared Polis has become the first openly gay man elected governor, elected in Colorado.  Also, Ayanna Presley became the first black woman that Massachusetts elected to congress.

The democrats won the house of representatives, and the republicans won the senate.  

Happy Election Day.  It's not my job to tell anyone who to vote for.

Morrissey covering the Pretenders.  Goodnight all.

It's true, days that I don't write are worse days.  Try writing.  Even just a sentence, even just as a way to let out your feelings.  Even if it is just for you to see and not for anyone else to see.  Trust me, it helps.  
I'm dealing with a problem with my wrists.  It started off with one, which is now wrapped in a bandage, and now my other one has been feeling it too.  That, along with my lower back and knee have experienced problems lately.  

New Minnesota Timberwolves alternate jerseys are inspired by the purple one.  That along with Derek Rose's 50 point game at this point in his career.  Good news from up in those parts.
