An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

Had a lovely night celebrating Sammie's and Keanu's birthdays. We started at the Slug and Lettuce for food and cocktails; after issues ordering on the app and some confusion at the bar, Jamie never ordered any food (thinking Emma had ordered it for him), and then ate mine believing it was his own 🤦🏼♂️ - resultantly, I ended up eating alone at the Clubhouse where we went to play indoor adventure golf; the Korean Pulled Chicken Taco's I ate were admittedly much nicer than what I'd originally ordered at the Slug and Lettuce which was a silver lining. Golf itself was a drunken disorganised trainwreck which was both fun and frustrating 😂 at one point some of us were on Hole 16, and others were still on Hole 12 - trying to keep tabs on scores was a nightmare! And to end the night, after golf finished, we popped around to the Playhouse for some arcade and gaming fun, where ultimately more money was spent on pizza than gaming 🍕🎮🏀 very enjoyable, and a lovely excuse to catch up with some of my favourite people! ❤

"Do not waste the remainder of thy life in thoughts about others, when thou dost not refer thy thoughts to some object of common utility. For thou losest the opportunity of doing something else when thou hast such thoughts as these, What is such a person doing, and why, and what is he saying, and what is he thinking of, and what is he contriving, and whatever else of the kind makes us wander away from the observation of our own ruling power." [Marcus Aurelius - Meditations (Book III)]

Another win at footy. Lately some of my goalkeeping is pure reflex; my arm just snaps itself out instinctively to block shots I'd never have anticipated. It's baffling ⚽

A few months ago, I embarked on a quest to document all the games I've ever owned or played. I could remember this one specific Facebook game I played loads around 2010 (at the same time as Pet Society and YoVille), but could not recall it's name for love nor money. Due to it being plant related, Google gave me nothing besides an aneurysm gaslighting me that I was thinking of Farmville. Finally, and randomly, tonight I have found the answer: (Lil) Green Patch. I feel reconciled and vindicated!

As the father of a daughter who turns eleven this year, the following quote from Wild has just turned my stomach; just how prevalent are nonces, or is this an embellished memory? "It was a version of myself I'd first tasted way back when I was a child of eleven and I'd felt that prickly rush of power when grown men would turn their heads to look at me or whistle or say Hey pretty baby just loudly enough that I could hear. The one I'd banked on all through high school, starving myself thin, playing cute and dumb so I'd be popular and loved. The one I'd fostered all through my young adult years while trying on different costumes - earth girl, punk girl, cowgirl, riot girl, ballsy girl. The one for whom behind every hot pair of boots or sexy little skirt or flourish of the hair there was a trapdoor that led to the least true version of me." - Cheryl Strayed

The fact is, our friendship is simply one of convenience, nothing more. If either of our employments changed, we would likely never speak again, and my life would be no worse for it.

Frog didn't want to bake, didn't want to craft, didn't want to draw, didn't want to do anything tbf except for chill and game today. So, we've spent the day watching YouTube and playing Bloxburg.

Spending a Saturday night sorting out my phone storage memory is not what I had in mind, but then, having 18,000+ photos in my camera roll is hardly ideal either.

Lately I find myself reminiscing about friendships which once meant everything to me that I wish I could easily rekindle. LoweTide. Webby & Frosty. Steph & Soph. Copey & Milby. Heathy & Timbob. Noodle & Padlock. Brown Eyes. Carter. Bobble, Hannibal & Chess. Laven & Bas. Chinese Jack. Jedi & Zelda. Tay, Provoked & Naughty. Adolf & Drifter. You all remind me of happy times. Grateful I still have Oooft & G 💗

Imagine a year where I don't need to have expensive dental treatment! 🤯🥳 - it's not this year though. Just been booked in for a filling on that broken tooth from the other day, and also a root canal too. Because fuck me I guess? 🙄🙃

Parenting in this era includes your children telling you that they are bisexual non-binary, even though they aren't, simply because it's cool, trendy, and forced down their throat from all sides 🙄 they don't even know what sex is, and yet they are telling you they're bisexual. They are entirely female in how they carry themselves, and present themselves, yet telling you their pronouns are they/them because it's what all the YouTubers are doing. Kids are growing up super confused by this gender-politics nonsense.

Home from an entertaining time at Flip Out. It was Gracie's brother Reuben's 9th birthday, and our Lysh was invited as Gracie's +1. Thanks to Stace & Rich for the lifts, saved me a right expensive headache!

Sometimes people pretend you're a bad person so they don't feel guilty for how they treated you.

Whilst reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed, I happened upon this hilarious and accurate blog summarising it chapter by chapter 😂😂

Okay Google, fuck sake. Can't even have a non-mainstream opinion anymore. All I can assume is that the "sensitive content" it alludes to is either 'misleading content related to harmful conspiracy theories' or 'misleading content related to harmful health practices' as per their community guidelines. I'll go one further and also assume it relates to my position on the "safe and effective" Covid vaccines... 🙄

Lol at the awkward moment when people are saying Putin is having a "toddler tantrum", as if that doesn't actually mean WWIII is looming. Putin has suspended Russia's participation in New Start, the nuclear arms control treaty with the US. Biden blew up Nordstream 2 and is involving the States in territory disputes that are not of their concern by funding Ukraine. The Ukraine are not even in NATO - there is no jurisdiction. If that isn't provoking a Russian military response on US soil, I don't know what is. And when it happens, the world will be expected to act all shocked as if that wasn't the logical destination on this retarded ride through modern day foreign relations 🙃

Just saved an absolute screamer at footy with my face. My eyelid is not happy about it 🙈😂 but in other news, my brother said I'm the best goalkeeper there, so at least that's something 🥰

"I was made to be tested and twisted,
I was made to be broken and beat.
I was made to be broken and beat.
I was made by his hand, it's all part of his plan,
That I stand on my own two feet.
And you know me my will is eternal,
And you know me you've met Me before.
And you know me you've met Me before.
Face to with a beast I will rise from the east,
And I'll settle on the ocean floor.
And I go by many names also...
Some people know me as hope.
Some people know me as the voice that you hear,
When you loosen the noose on the rope.
And you know how I know that I'll prosper?
Because I stand here beside you today.
I have stood in the flames, that cremated my brain
And I didn't once flinch or shake!"

Hate visiting the dentist, but suffering is my penance for not taking care of my teeth. I have only myself to blame. Broken tooth has been fixed 🦷
