So... what does that mean for you?
As is the phrase chock full.
And probably some other stuff but that's still TBD.

Is this the worst recording yet? I do know it contains the least listenable 5 minutes I've published thus far. Anyone who makes it through this entire recording should:
But you already knew this so why am I wasting your time?

It's been a terrific day. All around. Not one complaint.
I mean seriously...
Just one of those Tuesdays that's so nonchalant, so easily strolled through that it's more like a Thursday.
Of course, it's only 4:49 pm as I'm typing this...
... so ...

tonight's comedy open mic at the Tavern on 26th might change everything.
But as of now,

The only thing that goes right in this one is the concurrent workout routine I manage to complete while recording. I know. Seriously.Go figure... skating... or engage in some other activity that brings joy to yourself. Guaranteed. After all, listening to this recording is one big bicep curl waiting to cramp up. And nobody needs that to deal with. Just me.octopical

Hello universe!
As always, my greatest hope in this lifetime is to somehow, some way, get the chance to see you performing at your absolute best.
That day may not be today... I get…
Plainly stated it's become a flustercuck. One that's emerging right now in full cluster. The worst part is that I saw it happening in real time and did nothing to stop it. The blame falls directly on me.
And quite fairly.
For most of my existence I ignored the signs of collapse as they begged to be seen. I pretended the chicanery running rampant across reality would somehow fix itself without intervention.
I watched as truth become maleable, destroying facts in the process. Personal integrity was now a sign of weakness. Reach across the aisle? For what? Only losers compromise.
Winners take all.
Societal accountability? Never heard of it.
I'm clearly at fault for letting things deteriorate the way they did through my decisive inaction. Agree on that we do. However, all of us are now permitting the beat down 21st century life has become.
We aren't winning. Not even a little bit.
We're all bruised. We're all bewildered. We're all rudderless. We're all living as diminished versions of the true selves we arrived here to become. We all know this isn't how it's supposed to be.
Are we ufulfilled fundamentally?
Yep. Sure thing. In fact absolutely positively.
But not broken.
Because never, will I ever, come to a point where I lose my faith in you.
What we are capable of accomplishing by working alongside each other is mind-blowing. Our creative potential knows no limits in this universe! None.
In fact today, together, let's embrace our best selves and bask in the fulfillment that inspires. My humanity is ready to ascend.
I hope yours is too!
