I'm still alive

I’ve done poorly at writing things here. It’s a mental thing. I have an obsession with meaning. When therapy is often about meaningless shit that we’re incapable of properly processing.
And if this is my thought therapy, I need to fucking drop the pretense of meaning and go with just shit that is on my mind.
Work has been shit for a bit now, taking a company that is almost 40% the size of the purchasing company and merging its technology together is too much fucking work. A quick and shitty analogy is taking a 5000 piece puzzle of the Golden Gate Bridge and mixing in 2000 piece puzzle of London’s Big Ben and somehow working out a way to make all the pieces fit together, and simultaneously making it look like it all was supposed to be in the same box all along.
I regularly have 5 hours of meetings with multiple project timelines under an expectation of 6 hours of output each day. It’s so bad it feels like a parody of a job.
One thing that will be easy for me to write about each week, music.
I’ll give you one old find and one new find (this does not represent when the song came out, but when it fell into my ear holes). Listen to this shit, you’ll be a better person for it. And if you don’t like it, at least you tried something new.
THE ANXIETY has a Will Smith child in it, and it’s one of my top 10 songs of 2022. Listen and enjoy ‘Meet me at our spot’. This a chill, alternative pop duet. Minor chords to pull at nostalgia of being young, eliciting memories of driving in a cooling summer night with friends.
And just this year I ran across Camp Cope’s song The Opener, rougher alternative, has some 90’s feel to it. A little more angsty, but a good listen. It probably won’t be in my top 10 for the year, but it’s a good song anyhows. Sadly the band broke up 2 years back so no hopes of seeing these three in concert, I think they’d be a blast to see live.
“If I was hungry, then you were starving. Now tell the dead man you’re the one dying.”
Oh, and I was at the No Kings protest in Asheville with my brother from another mother, that's as political as I'll get on this post. Fuck bigots. Fuck Trump. But I repeat myself.
