My blood pressure has been low lately but I think that's because I don't put a lot of demands on my blood. I just let it be who it is.

Did my usual hike up to Verdugo Peak. I’ve lost 20 pounds since the summer. This is the first photo where I can really see a difference. I can certainly feel the difference especially in my joints.

Remember… Alien Jesus loves you. 👽✝️

As of today I am officially no longer pre-diabetic, medically obese, employed. Happy about the first 2.

I am once again unemployed thanks to a surprise layoff. I think this is the 7th time this has happened to me now over my entire work history. There is no stability. There is no “picking the right career.” So fuck it, bank robber it is.

Meanwhile over on Threads.... 🤘

Huh… still not banned. Go figure.

Is there a type of machine we’re allowed to say Megyn Kelly should be put in? Would a soundproof box where her fucked up, child rapist apologist opinions can’t escape be allowed? Also Patton is the one this place is punishing? The Sky ain’t so Blue here anymore.

Last night at a show I overheard this nugget: “If you’re moving to LA it’s 50% vibes but if you stay in LA it’s 90% vibes.” I still have no idea WTF that means but for the first time in 4 decades I was like maybe I need to move out of LA.

Be extremely wary of people who are magically always an expert despite not knowing shit.

Every sci-fi movie: Robots will destroy us. Tech CEOs: HumanKiller Pro 3.1 goes live this Thursday! It's our most advanced model yet!

They canceled the penny. So you’re telling me that our government no longer makes cents?! ::puts on sunglasses and high fives everyone::

I'll be at the QOTSA show tonight. I think this will be my 26th time seeing them live.

When I was a kid there was a restaurant up at Universal called Victoria Station. The whole theme was Victorian era trains. You even had to ride this special train car to get to it. Going there was a big night out for our family. I always thought it was a place only people in SoCal knew about.

My favorite thing about losing weight is how hard you have to work at it only to have no one really notice.

Went for an exploratory hike today. Wondered if after going from Stough Canyon up to Verdugo Peak if I could connect over to Tongva Peak. The answer is yes, but it’s further than you think. Did a couple of side quests too and I am beat.

Remember when the only problematic thing about guys like me saying that they think Sydney Sweeney is attractive was our age and marital status? Those were the days…

I’m 51 years old. I am more active now than any other time in my life. Keep finding ways to move more, older you will benefit from it.

I’m not fully a trailrunner yet but I am a trail jogger. Down 10 pounds so far and it only makes me want to get better at going further.

Fred Durst told me there’d be days like this.

I don’t hold grudges. I lovingly embrace them.

Even Croooowe

I have been to see so many live bands this year. Correction: so many great live bands. To say that Primitive Ring blew me away last night would be an understatement.

Just became an Osees fan so now I have 29 records and at least 6 name changes to catch up on.

Happy hollow wiener.

I can't think of a single person who's said that 2025 has been a good year. In fact, almost everyone I know would say it's been one of the worst years of their life.

Money can’t buy happiness but it does offer a long term lease on happiness.

Social media really is filled with some of the dumbest of opinions and their owners.

Forget Pumpkin Spice, make Baja Blast Pie Lattes!

Spooky Season isn’t over yet! Just in time for Halloween, you can listen to a full-cast audio adaptation of War of the Undead. World War II, Universal Monsters, dark magic - this story has it all! I play the creepy General Richter. Listen now on Audible or get it through Tell ’Em Steve-Dave!

AI always has the smug confidence of a bully from an 80’s movie. Half the time I expect it to ask, “Do you know who my father is?”

I’m up for whatever, just don’t actually suggest anything.

If you hike Fryman but don’t take the second part of the Betty B Dearing Trail all the way up to Mulholland, you’re missing out.

If I end up becoming a solo musician who makes “cinematic ambient guitar textures” then I’ve probably achieved my final form.

I say we all go to Mar-a-Lago and tear down the shit we don't like.

I got 5150’d today in that I am now 51 after a year of being 50. Basically, it’s my birthday.

Guess we should have made the East Wing a Cracker Barrel.

Tone to the bone, bro.

Am I depressed or am I just keenly aware that the specter of death hangs over us all as we wither and fade under the forces of our own decay while we drift through the meaningless demarcations of time we created in the hopes it could somehow give our blip of an existence a sense of importance?

You don't really "get in shape" in your 50's as much as you take on a project of "restoration and preservation."

I’ve been to see more live music this year than any previous year of my life.

If your best friend is a robot inside the dumpster you drive around, you're a fucking loser.

I'm up for whatever, whenever. Unless it's after 10 PM or there's a lot of traffic. Also what's the food situation going to be? I have some restrictions and sensitivities. You know what, we should probably just reschedule.

My blood type is typo positive.

90’s nostalgia really skips over how metal diamond plating was on everything at one point. It was on trucks, guitar amps, I knew a guy with that had furniture made out of it.

In case you were wondering, the best time to go to Costco is never.

Last night while looking at different houses all decorated for Halloween my wife asked me probably one of my favorite questions of all time: "Is that a sock with hands?" It was a ghost but it will now and forever always be a sock with hands to me.

"Yeah, I'm pretty active in the Nard Core scene." - me after going to one show at the Oxnard Elk's Lodge.

Happy spooky season!
