Lack of comfort.

Things are always falling apart in my head.
Piles of things that I build up and up with all my thoughts.
Then, the base is too small for the weight of the pile
and it falls apart.
Not the whole thing, just what feels like a month's worth of work.

Divorce.

You know how Brett Favre left the Packers and came to New York?
You didn't hear about that?
Well, it is true! He did that thing I said he did.

I been reading people's thoughts...
Yeah, I can do read people's thoughts.
I been reading how people think about this thing, they keep on comparing it to a divorce.

A divorce!

A divorce?

What?
I don't think so.
I mean, maybe, but like for example, the paper will interview some dude, and they'll say you know, what the dude does for a job. Or they will say what he goes to school for, or where he is from.
They never say if he is divorced or not.

I think that is an important thing to include in an article where people are throwing around the word divorce so freely.
I mean, for the kid's sake.
What of the children that will grow up to fall into (and then out of) a relationship?
How extra upsetting it will be to them to find out that going through an actual divorce is actually nothing like a 38 year old "living legend" leaving the professional football team they cheered on for like, 20 something years.

I don't know, I just think it is a dumb word to pick, and it is only intended to add some sort of layer of drama that doesn't need to exist.

I am so out of here.

The sleeper hold.

Oh my lord.
This baby changed everything!
Everything was going a certain way, and then he changed it all.
He changed my course!

He busted my cycle!!!

I made some spaghetti.
It was delicious.
I imagine it will be.
I have yet to eat it.

287! The REAL Magic Number.

I had to put my foot down.
I said "That's it! Time to go to sleep!"
Have you ever tried to train a baby to do something?
They act like because they are babies, they don't know what you are talking about.
But they do know.
They know!

If you see a baby, make as little eye contact with them as possible.
Otherwise they read your thoughts!
They steal valuable information from your soul!
They know your secrets, and they can predict your next move.
They steal your social security number and ruin your credit!


SO I put my foot down.
I put it down on Truen to hold her down while the baby cried.

I HAD TO! SHE WAS BEING ALMOST AS BIG A BABY AS THE REAL BABY!

I mean, she isn't thinking straight.
It is hard to think at all with the piercing screams of anger and torment ringing in your ears.
But someone has to do it.
So I got nominated.
I have been put in charge.
In charge of baby sleep.

It is supposed to take a week, and then he will be on a "schedule".
We'll see.
Looks like I am working double time.

Later Muchacho.

The Fry Monger.

I was thinking about how things can start to look like you are always being ruled by fear.
There is always stuff to be scared by.
It seems like there is always someone profiting also.
I don't want to be a Fear Monger.
Who can be proud of that?
Honestly?

And what would your Mom think of you?

Speaking of Moms, mine is recovering from double knee replacement surgery.
She is doing well, but it hurts.
Who would have thought?
I remember after I had a surgery on my jaw, I had to eat full liquid diet for almost 2 months.
By the end I was abel to eat pancakes.

I think that is why I love pancakes so much now...

Anyways, for some reason, before Axel was born, Truen and I started to refer to our parents as Meemaw and Peepaw.
It sounded old timey and quaint.
But my Mom hates it.
But it is only temporary I told her.
Wait until he can speak!

The thing is that I forget she doesn't like it, and then I refer to her as Meemaw for some reason
and then she has to remind me again.

Who ever said parenting was easy!?

It is not raining, but it sounds like it is.

be well, lvoemathew

Delila and Emilio... and Manny.

This is an 8 legged horse that is married to an albino hippopotamus.
They were made by my one of my co workers.
They are named Delila and Emilio.

I think they are pretty great.
I like the way that they are put together.

They make me believe in the human ability.

You show me a robot that would make these, just like this, and then maybe I will believe in the robot ability.

I got to wrap up several paintings today and I made some cardboard covers for them.
It sounds maybe pretty easy.
But you know, it can be difficult.
Especially when you have to work with people that you are not used to yet.

But it is also very rewarding to do when you do a good job.
When things go smoothly.
That is the best.
And it makes me feel like there are still things worth doing.

IT is always god to try.

Walking still.

Oh my lord.
TGIF!!
YOu know the cookie guy?
The man that mysteriously appeared and left cookies on Fridays?
He got fired!
I mean, he is no longer showing up and leaving me cookies.
So what else could it be?
You tell me!!!

Oh my lord!
Brett Favre?
Does he not look way super older with the Jets helmet on?
I think he does.
And he will never get the love he got in Green Bay.
Not in this hell hole.

People make mistakes, what can I say?
I mean, this is obviously a mistake.
It doesn't mean he will play poorly, or that he deserves to have a losing season.
I am very much excited to see him play again.
But this is just a sad feeling for me.
You know how it is right?
Go Brett!

But really, GO PACK!
No one is bigger than the team.

Oh man, you know things are getting worse right?
In the world?

Russia and Georgia and Iran and China and North Korea...

DO you ever wish that the internet was not an actual thing?
DO you feel like it is ruining things?
Like, music and movies and quality of life?

Well, I think that sometimes.
I think a lot of things.
But only occasionally.

Luxury Omelette.

I can say this: There is nothing I ever did like being a Dad.

I been okay at basketball.
I been good about drawing.
I been missing the Wisconsin Feeling.

I hope all is good.
lovmeahtwe.

Please let him play.

I had moved on, I can admit that.
I was prepared to cheer on a Packer team not led by Brett Favre.
I was.
Just like a lot of people, I felt I had moved on.

But god damn it, if this turns out with Brett playing for Minnesota, I will
be put into the awkward position of cheering for the Vikings over the Packers.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers might be fine, but he gets hurt in practice almost every year, can't they just admit that Brett
is the team's best chance to go to the playoffs, and possibly the Superb Owl?

Seriously, it isn't that hard.
He admitted he retired too early.
THEY should admit that they want him back, and that he is welcome to come back.
WHENEVER HE WANTS.

I hope youa re well.
Go Pack.
lovematthew
