Dischord

Hard core dischord in my heart.
But listening to the catalog at Dischord is good medicine:


The elections - the visual apathy from the white "independent" folks (men) who don't care and see it all as a ridiculous exercise and pointing out that there's no real difference between the R and D parties, they are both corrupt corporate tools with no recourse for real change.

I disagree, esp lately. But there's this lingering frustration. The whole being in a state that is #1 super small, #2 pretty consistently aligned with the Democrats and tucked in a region that is consistent. Not homogeneous, there are plenty of racist douchebros here, and everywhere, and they get bolder with every rally and every FauxNews broadcast.

Le Sigh. Can't vote in the Texas thing, but man I hope Beto can do it. And the governor races in FL and GA. Can I vote in those three elections? No. But man so much hinges on all three races.

And that fucking add that ran during SNF holy SHIT. fuck.

MAYBE THIS ALBUM ON REPEAT

Currently half thinking about driving to Northampton for Saturday just to hang out and see everyone, maybe bring the dogs. It is a long drive to just hang out, esp with so much not getting done at home and winter coming and me having lots of wood to split and stack (and get the seasoned stuff under better cover to dry out the rest of the way). But it would be fun to head up there. Even just to spectate. But it looks like I'll be teaching a bike maintenance class on Sunday the 11th. I may need to elect to stay home and lay low and chill with the dogs while everyone else is out at an away tournament.

But anything beyond staying home is going to be based on getting over this fucking cold. Nose at least isn't running as much as it was yesterday. Holy shit. Maybe side benefit of not drinking is getting over the seasonal cold faster? I think that also may require me getting some more sleep.

or at least catching up on sleep. or both. I've cut back on coffee the last couple days. Not by much but it seemed to help falling asleep last night.

Haven't been on the bike other than the trainer on Saturday. Not today. Kid is coming home from college to vote today. So I drove in to facilitate getting the two of us to the polling place. And then back to the train.

Man I need to ride my FUCKING BIKE.

I've let work creep into my riding time. But then everything else has crept into my riding time, work is just a small part of it.

Oh well. I'll keep working on making time to make time to ride. Maybe I need to do the NECX HOTM challenge again. But perhaps make it a 6 month challenge. Jan-July. Heck maybe it needs to be either two hundos a month or one double. Or two hundos ending with a double in June and July.

Something. Need something/someone to get my butt moving. I'm not doing a good job of self motivating, gotta change that.

Also lately have been reflecting and missing http://ezracaldwell.com/ Thinking about MLFN ... and stuff...

Too much thinking...

Starting last cup of coffee right now. It is noon. Going to be interesting to see if I can make it through the rest of the day w/o any more caffeine.

At least this morning has been a scattered - support - email - organize - fix - advise - morning, conducive to web logging and listening to Dischord's catalog:
