January 10th, 2026. Choice and hijacked.

Am I getting the hang of selfies?

January 9th, 2026 Snakes and guitars.

January 7th, 2026 Takeout.

January 6th, 2026 Andy's, sunset, and pickup.

January 5th, 2026. Statue and ceiling.

I am "gets excited for a new coffee pot" old.

January 4th, 2026 Lesson planning and Thundarr.

Fun fact: every time I see an old man with a beard and a Confederate hat, I think of my biological father. I've never met him and I've only seen 2 or 3 pictures of him. I have heard stories about him and he's a big "South will rise again" guy and would wear the rebel hats.

January 3rd, 2026. Aikido gives me joy. Christmas trees give me joy. Gotta focus on joy when the world feels as dark as it does right now.

I need some of you all to get Snapchat or Discord so that I can interact with you without having to log in here. The world feels very dark and horrible right now and my social media feed isn't helping. You're awesome and I love interacting with y'all, but I just can't deal with it.

January 2nd, 2026 #picsoftheday

Insert clever new year themed caption here. Maybe mention something about enjoying the process of learning to use the camera. There. I did it.

So, here's the plan...at least one picture a day with my little Instax Pal camera. I'll put them in my story. I think this exercise will help me stop and notice beauty in the mundane. That's the hoity toity, pretentious goal, I think. But I just really like taking pictures with this little gadget.

Sometimes, I see pictures people post of themselves and I'm curious as to how they secured the angle, lighting, or framing. Like...tripod or someone else taking the pic?

I had my first tarot reading today. I went into it as a skeptic, but a receptive, curious skeptic. It was interesting. Overall, I would say it was a positive experience.

One of my goals in the coming year is to take more photos...especially with this little guy. It's an Instax Pal and it's so cool. You can either pair it with a Fuji printer or just send pics to your phone. The pics aren't amazing quality, but that's ok. That's the point...to stop and notice.

Tonight, I devised a Christmas movie categorization system that I really think is gonna open some eyes. Stay tuned.

Sunset at Marked Tree, Arkansas.

Capybaras are just cool.

I made a lot of spaghetti for dinner if anyone is hungry. Plenty of leftovers.

As you can see, Charley was very helpful with my latest drawing.

I have discovered vintage car review shows(Motor Week and the like) on YouTube. It's calming and charming to see them talk about the exciting new features on things like the new 1988 Bronco XLT or the 1987 Isuzu Pup. High quality entertainment.

Today episode of "Girl dad" takes place in Ulta where I will be playing the role of the supportive, but uncomfortable father. This place is not for me....and that's Ok.

Why, yes. I actually do await your new posts.

"You know, if it wasn't me talking, I'd say you were the prettiest girl in town.".

The last page in my sketchbook has been drawn on. Another book full of doodles. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Muppet Christmas Carol is pretty much perfect, but it would have been a fun joke to have a Christmas goose character.

Have you seen the whole "Not 17 anymore" thing on TikTok? Anyway, here's the difference between 17 year old me and current me.

It's only one more sleep till Christmas.

Two drawings in one night? It's a Festivus Miracle!!

I canceled not one, but TWO streaming services today and I must say... 10/10, would recommend.

The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man is a good game and doesn't deserve all the hate it used to get. That is a hill I will die on. It's the first version of the game I ever played and I still enjoy it.

Happy Festivus to everyone! May your fears of strength be mighty and your list of grievances be short.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Gotta get that filter action going.

One of the more frustrating parts of medical bills (other than that they exist at all in this capitalist hellhole) is how inconvenient paying them often is. It often feels like the medical institutions actively want you to fail at paying the bill so they can sell the debt to a collection agency.

Charley and I are playing fetch and watching "White Christmas" on this #caturday

Is anyone else sad that Christmas will be over in a week? Or does your brain work normally?

My old boy and my young boy.

I love wrapping presents. If I was better at remembering to do so earlier, I would gladly offer to wrap presents for my friends. Tonight, I've been wrapping presents and watching ELF on VHS. It's been therapeutic.

Smoothie King believes in me, so I think I can make it to the end of the day. But I am absolutely exhausted.

Pissing Out Cancer, my comedy special produced by and formerly exclusively on Dropout.tv is now available for free and in full on YouTube. Thank you so much to Dropout for being chill and letting me write this into my contract! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5G...

Have you ever thought beauty vs attractiveness? Like....how they're not same thing, but they often get used interchangeably. I think about that from time to time. But I'm weird.

This week was a six day work week. The last day was 14 hours that started at 4am. I did manage to sleep almost ten hours last night. But coffee is very much necessary this morning.

If peacocks can scream all day and still be fabulous, so can you.

One of the few nice things about the cold weather is that I can wear my scarf and beanie more often.

The original animated Grinch is the best one for a multitude of reasons. -Chuck Jones 2D animation -Seuss helped with it. -Boris Karloff -The songs are great -Shorter run time The other versions are good. Quite good. But the original one is just the best.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the week I've had off. It has been what I needed. But I could use more. I don't really want to go back to work tomorrow. #teacherlife

So....we all learned some things this morning. Here's a list: 1. Charley loves canned dog food. 2. He can somehow shove his body up under the lid of the trash can. 3. His head is the exact size to fit inside a dog food can. 4. OUT of the dog food can is trickier.
