  • Hero of War by Rise Against - I’m a vet to this hits fucking hard.

    Blackbird by Alter Bridge - My stepdad got cancer in 2020 and had a very slow decline until he finally passed in 2025. Watching him wither away was heartbreaking. I saw him around Christmas of 2024 and he was still able to get up and move around on his own, but only for a short period of time. I went back down a month later to help my mom, because he couldn’t even get out of bed anymore. The hospice nurse came one day and basically told us he maybe had a week at most. He couldn’t even talk at this point, would not eat, and you could tell he was just in constant pain. I told him not worry and that I appreciated everything he did for my mom and that I would take care of her. He passed a few minutes later with his dog in his lap. Later that afternoon, after I had gotten everything taken care of, I took his dog for a walk. This song just happened to come on while I was walking her. The line, “May you never be broken again” made me breakdown right there in the middle of the park. To this day I still cry every time I hear the song.




  • I kept mine active but haven’t used it since Musk took over. I just changed my name and bio to my Mastodon account so people could find me. I used it for work and had a lot of people find my content through it, so I didn’t want to just kill it. I also didn’t want someone claiming my username because I use the same one on pretty much all of my work socials. It got to the point last week that I’d rather not be associated with the site, even if people know it’s just to point you to my Mastodon. Hitting that delete button felt good, but I wish I had done it back in 2022.









  • The Blues Brothers is my all time favorite movie. I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to rewatch things unless it’s been long enough for me to forget parts of it. But I’ve watched the Blues Brothers more times than I could count. Starting back whenever it was on TBS in the 90s, to when it was the first DVD I ever bought, to the two versions I have on my media server.

    I have never heard of Nuts in May, so now I know what movie I’ll be watching next.
