Ramble On: Spring 2026 Edition

  The Emperor is naked.   Had to explain to someone that we used to have to pay to use minutes on cellphones… “back in my day”.  It’s weird that Molly Ringwald’s character in the Breakfast Club brings sushi for lunch for a lot of reasons…not only is this supposed to represent “rich kid” status, but…she has unrefrigerated raw fish with her until whenever their lunchtime is…which is probably supposed to be hours after they arrive? The original pasta salad idea would have made more sense.  The ability to still feel safe as the country around you goes to war is nothing short of a blessing.  Instagram will show me things like “how to find a banana bread baddie” and then immediately go to “I do not fuck with any burrito without heft” and I think I’ve won? It can’t figure out what I’m into? It’s just throwing anything and everything that maybe kind of sort of has slightly to do with food at me? Instagram’s algorithm has basically just said “Well, she’s human right? She...

 I’ve learned, taught, forgot, started and quit, won and lost, hated and loved.

 

I mind my p’s and q’s, even though the ladies’ room doesn’t ever seem to mind me nearly peeing its queue….

 

Snapchat. SnapBack. Aflac. Big Mac.

Track your package with OnTrac.

TicTac. Snack pack. Cyberattack.

Don’t forget to take your stimpak.

 

My government officials have wishlists that Veruca Salt herself couldn’t rival.

It’s no wonder everyone’s fighting for basic survival.

 

And I remember when those around me wanted to give me peace of mind, instead of giving me a piece of their mind…

 

Chris Pratt. Doormat. Non-fat. Whiplash.

Call the number on your screen now for free cash.

Grab ass. Kit-Kat. Lab rat. Smokestack.

There are some things we’ll never be able to get back.

    In my experience, almost any time someone has tried to give me peace of mind, they knowingly withheld information from me that they believed would disturb whatever peace they were trying to impart.

    It may have been with the best of intentions, but peace of mind only comes with the full awareness (acceptance?) of things that threaten that satisfaction.

    I *almost* always would have benefitted more from a candid conversation. Warts and all.

    In other news, Veruca Salt most definitely grew up to become a politician.

      The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

      As well as, potentially, a Chris Pratt Doormat, right at the front gate.

      Haha one can only hope -- I'll let you know for sure once I get there.

      Please do. "Inquiring minds," and all that sort of thing.

So many times I've found myself wanting to rest my head upon his chest.  To curl into him and die.  Seeking comfort in someone who isn't there.  Phantom feelings and false prophets.  I am the missing strength.  Never promised. Always found.  But oh how often I crumble now.
