Sometimes the dumbest, pettiest bullshit sends me down the spiral of self-hatred.

Sometimes it's something real, but pathetic, like virtual encounters with a person I wish I'd never met.

Today it's the first kind. Just pathetic and fucked up.

I think it's you and me and everyone, not that it makes you feel any better. I don't even know whether we've had Star wars 8 or 9 or both yet. I literally don't know. Now my kid is shouting at me that we need to watch the mandalorian. This is probably how dementia starts. If you had dementia wouldn't be thinking about these things you want to forget? A wise person I talk to will say things like, "or you could decide not to demand perfection of yourself and to forgive yourself for minor screwups?" Which causes me to smile at him and say, well, guy, would I even be who I am if that was the kind of person I was? Nah. Better to suffer than to suck.

I get to do both!

You know what would make you feel better? An Avatar.

This one's perfect:

It’s not. But use the avatar anyways. It’s cool.

The problem is you have so many extraneous letters there, but even worse, you can't spell real heroes without a hoarser eel. Get the man a picture of an eel and he'll be in good shape.

I'm just trying to do something nice for you. You can take it or leave it. No worries.

You could get him a reel horse, if you think he's one of the real heroes:

And it's happening again.

I'm just a fuck up.

No, it's just a fucked up week. I've been in a funk, too. Post holidays is often a slump emotionally. Add that to world events. Blame it on things other than yourself.

It is true. Very screwy week. It's liberating. Nobody is supposed to have quiet placid pleasant thoughts through such weird and wild events. It makes us vulnerable to other unfortunate and negative thoughts creeping in. But it is ok! Onward we go. I have coffee #2!
