Get Your Grump on Thursdays - Was (What's chapping my @ss today?)

Similarly, I've noticed an uptick in people getting off planes attempting to jump to the front before letting everyone into the row ahead of them. "I have a tight connection" doesn't cut it. So do I. So does everyone else. Did you think everyone on this plane is really going to visit Newark for the weekend?

Hip check them into the seatback across the aisle. Then apologize sincerely like you didn't really mean to do it.

Missed last Thursday and I'll be on the road this Thursday so I wanted to get this off my chest. My brother's wife just took an awesome job and I couldn't be happier for them. Unfortunately they'll have to relocate to Denver. My brother and I are pretty tight, I'm going to really miss having him around.

Go out there and visit, it's awesome. That's what I do now that I have 3 brothers and my mother who all moved to the Denver area from the East Coast.

Work is still sucking my will to live. I need to learn how to better compartmentalize areas of my life.

I have zero motivation to carry out something that could be pretty huge.

I hate anxiety...and IBS. I hate them a lot!

Saw the back surgeon this morning. I'm scheduled for 11/18 to repair a herniated disc between L5 and S1. It presses against the sciatic nerve and PT didn't and won't fix it. 6 weeks off the bike at a minimum. Looks like my current 5600 miles is it for the year.

The band I stated with my two and four year old, The Sea Witches, has broken up over creative differences this morning. It started last night after performing our hit single, "The Witch Vomits Jellyfish Brians", when our lead singer and drummer asked/whined that he wanted to play the piano on the ipad. Well, our keyboardist would have nothing of it. Over the night this issue stewed to a boiling point this morning where the band members left the session room screaming and crying....... #myfamilywillneverbeassuccessfulasthejacksons.

I liked their earlier stuff better anyway. Best of luck in their solo careers, and looking forward to the inevitable reunion tour.


There are not enough hours in the day. A 30 hour day and an 8 day week might begin to allow me the time to accomplish both what I need and what I want to do.
The twins will be arriving real soon, the new house is in complete disarray, and I'm trying to get up to speed on a new job between doctors appts, DMV visits, and everything else that needs to happen. I should shut my trap because most people have it way worse than me, but I'm struggling to identify how we're going to make this all work.

Hey its tough but just think in a few years you can have your own band.

Go stare at pics of Mosaic's latest BOTW. That should cure your disbanding depression. Say no to drugs.

This is petty since it's self inflicted, but I got a big ol' tattoo on my shin the other day. Now it's itchy and my foot and ankle are comically swollen. And, for the record, shins hurt.

We received an offer for our condo.
The buyers did their due diligence and noticed our docs require condo trustees to approve having a pet (who knew? 27 years and no one else has asked...)
My neighbor is resisting saying "yes". Because she can.

Donald Trump. How is leading in the polls? Who the fuck are they polling? We have a Nationwide movement, for lack of a better word, to stop bullying, and yet this bombastic turgid shitbag gets to run for President. It's shameful.

You won't. Welcome to the new norm

I'm trying to apply the "perfection is imperfection" to the state of my schedule, but it doesn't quite work.

I really miss riding my bike. Last ride was Sept 13th.

I've gone with, "Fuck it"

Working pretty good so far

I haven't ridden my bike since Saturday or Sunday and I've been up and jamming between 3 and 4:30 every morning all week.
