I love music. Like with my soul, deep inside. My tastes are eclectic, although my general rule (with exceptions) is that “happy” music makes me homicidal. Bubblegum pop=death and destruction. The one true outlier to this “happy” music ban is Stray Kids, a South Korean boy band. Some days, it’s […]
I just watched a 17-year-old kid get drafted to the Islanders, the #1 draft pick. It was heart-wrenchingly beautiful. He immediately kissed the Hockey Fights Cancer ribbon on his new jersey. He lost his mom to breast cancer in February of 2024, just a few months after his billet mother […]
So this is roughly the first third of what it will be by the end of 2025. I usually read about 180+ a year, so it’ll grow. In reality, I’ve read 12 more books than the 55 reflected, but they were for work, so they’re not going to be in […]
