I want to be angry about Alabama ruling. But I am laughing instead. Because you know what, you flying fucks in that state deserve everything coming your way. You want it differently, vote different. Classic leopards ate my face opinions coming out of Alabama. I am like duh.

I keep thinking back to March 2020 when things began to shut down in the country and I feel like I have no recollection of the first couple of months of the shut down. Its a complete blur. The only connection to those days are the photos. And then the photos make it feel like oh we met so and so in June, oh wait her swim began in September, oh we are out doing so and so outside and don’t convey the gravity of the situation in those days. I am glad I don’t remember much of that time, but I do feel like March 2020 feels like 10 years ago at this point.

We are having a “thunder” storm in February. In February. The earliest I imagine thunderstorms hitting us was around April. And oh, it also kind snow flaked this morning. Only in DC area can you go from bitter cold to snow to a thunderstorm to a beautiful 60 degree sunny day all in a matter of sunrise to sunset.

Will there be some cosmic justice for us and perhaps a scotus judge drops dead in October for democrats for return the RBG favor? One can hope.

In other news my kid is on a complete device (phone, iPad, kindle, laptop) timeout for a week over an incident that I did not expect out of her. Last night she brushed it off saying who cares! but this morning it turns out she cares too much about losing access to all her friends messaging groups and realized the magnitude of not being able to chit chat with her friends for a week! Too bad girl, I am still the dad here and some lessons are learnt the hard way. It’s the perfect time for me to tell her in my days we had no phone…..

Apparently the kid won a bet with a family friend’s kid. The bet was that kid was going to propose to a girl on valentine’s day and my kid said she would reject him, which is exactly how it turned out. To be fair my kid and another friend’s kid tried their best to be his support and gave him lots of tips on what to do, but alas. Later at dinner table I quipped that over the last year, herself and the other kids of family friends of ours have all been rejected by their respective crushes, so maybe its time they started dating brown kids instead of chasing white kids. Obviously I got the eyebrows from the kid, but I was like, ya know, brown ain’t bad!

What is it about Rugby that makes is so much fun to watch than American Football which in theory is almost similar but is an absolute dud game to follow. Its like American Football literally took the worst out of every sport and made it their own, and then convinced an entire populace that its a amazing sport.

Omfg I think I have received nearly 40 emails just today from Democrat candidates or pacs asking for donation! Where was the email shared to them? Fucking he’ll - reporting as spam to all of them! I am donating through swingleft and I don’t want to hear one fucking thing Katie Porter says about her senate chances! Ugh!!!

I don’t know the first episode has kind of soured Jon Stewart for me, at least temporarily. While I enjoyed his Tucker takedown it just didnt seem to have meat that it should have. Like everything felt like duh. Who is his audience at this point, really? I dont think he knows either.( I mean Tucker was pretty much ridiculed by one and all with the same jokes by people who hate him already. I guess maybe the current medium of quick reaction is souring what could’ve been a great take? )

I want to like The Tourist. But three episodes in I dont know what I am watching anymore. Now I am just compelled to finish the series.

Spot on!

It’s mind-boggling. And so, so disappointing. Two mature adults — officers of the court, experienced attorneys — could not find it in themselves to put their romantic inclinations on hold while working on the most important case of their careers, and one of the most important criminal cases in American history? They should have known that any whiff of impropriety would be exploited to tank the case. You cannot be traipsing off together to places like Belize and Aruba and expect to keep it a secret. Good lord.

I have been watching this unfold and this is the stuff is made for TV shows. Like how can they both be such fucking idiots? And why are democrats always finding their hands in their pants? First the Cal Cunningham in NC. Then Susanna Gibson in Virginia. Now these two in Georgia. Like fucking christ realize that the bar for you is higher!

A beautiful sunny morning to start the week. My mental clock is already getting excited looking at March inching close by. I dream of spring!

India is not the same country that I left 23 years ago. America is not the same country I came to 23 years ago either. Both of these countries have gotten worse way societally than better in the last 2 decades, so you or me have no right to compare the two right now. We all have to just make peace with our decisions and carry on doing the right thing in our small circle, hoping that one day it will matter. Thats really it.

The best kind of weather forecast is when they call for 2-5” of snow and less than an inch actually falls. We had one such non event last night and I am so thrilled!
