Category: Me Myself&I

In 2007, living in France, I had a conversation with my parents about cannabis. I told them that it was crucial to legalize it and to move forward this goal, because underground economies were betting bigger and bigger and that at some point, this would yield massive violence.

Marseille 2022. 24 dead this year, 30 last year. I hear about torture, amputation and funny stuff like that.

All French people under 50 are accountable here. Y’all really did nothing. Great.

How come Germany, a not so cool country and culture, is thinking very seriously about legalizing but France has completely failed to move a millimeter toward the same goal, I don’t know.

I have ideas though.

Thankful to have a few Iran-born women friends in my life. Rock solid, very generous people.

Reading about “morality police” makes me feel so angry at men. One of those very rare occasion where I’d like to be Superman, fly real quick over there, announce that “all men imposing shit on women are going to get their ass beat so hard, they’ll only have the ability to sit down and be quiet afterwards, for eternity”, and then thoroughly proceed through the ass whooping, smiling.

40 years of this shit. Leave women alone, what’s so hard about that goddamn.

 

This wasn’t easy but finally, hardware acceleration for my laptop on Windows 8.

One machine left to downgrade.

Why would I go through pain to use Windows 8 in 2022? Well this year I’ve been using most desktop OSes pretty deeply and it turns out, I’m completely over updating constantly and losing my settings left and right, as if MY computer wasn’t mine at all. That, and bad performance showing up for no other reason but updates. Totally over and sick of this. Peace of mind is important.

8’s great as hell. There’s none snappier. I’ll install stand alone stuff, a bunch of great games that run perfectly fine on that hardware like Noita, Monkey Island or CS:GO, and run this laptop until it dies dies.

See y’all in 2032, easy.

So, this happened again.

This is was my neighbor’s car. Perfectly parked. Absolutely ruined. I saw her before seeing her car, and she was fine, about to walking her dog.

How did she park, get out of the car and DOESN’T HAVE NO NECK BRACES OR SOMETHING (note for the smart asses: her boyfriend looked fine too and has his own car anyway). Not a cast on her left leg or a bruise on her face. Nothing, except that her car 100% looks like she should not be walking her dog the next morning.

How do you even start the car/drive with six airbags out. I need Ja Rule.

It’s just people not wearing masks and using sick days out of nowhere.

30 years ago, Michael Jordan was walking in public in Barcelona. Just above him on the sidewalk, a—for the time absolutely giant billboard of himself going at the rim.

This was probably the last time ever that MJ was able to be in public like that. Imagine.

Three decades and counting of either living in rooms with very few people, or in acres with very few people. Otherwise, just people yelling and screaming at you.

Imagine the alienation. Thinking of jumping real quick to that coffee place, just to enjoy a cup, a sandwich and a stool in a cozy corner, like I just did this morning? Nope. Never ever again in your life can you afford that simple pleasure.

He’s been handling this curse pretty well. I think I would have lost it. Freedom >>>>

A’ja picking her nose during the press conference. Not a fuck was given anymore. As it should!

She wears number 22 and got her first Championship in 22. Chelsea just won her second WNBA championship while being Finals MVP. A’ja was this year’s MVP and DPOY. That’s some incredible achievement here.

Becky Hammon, the coach. I mean, it’s amazing. Working in the NBA for years, interviewing and being dismissed when trying to coach a team, she left the NBA, got the job for the Aces, wins Coach of the Year AND a title on her first run. HELLO? FOH

The entire team played so, so well. I’m saying 90s Bulls, 2014 Spurs, current Warriors well. That game 3 against Seattle is when I thought to myself, “oh they’re winning this entire shit”. Kelsey Plum was incredible, Riquna Williams put those games away, Jackie Young was phenomenal (she won Most Improved Player this year). Everyone did their jobs perfectly. It’s so pretty to see something click between people. Teamwork.

Discipline, practice, big hearts.

I love those women. Congrats y’all.

Yay! It was great. We then went to see Luminex stuff without downloading a single app, without scanning a single code, just by walking around and asking yellow jacket staff where the next installation is while scanning the sidewalks for human poop.

A day DTLA indeed.

Y’all seem to be into this, still! Kind of fascinating yet sad AF, but anyway.

Personally, I left rings of power and dragons and monarchy behind at age 10, many moons ago.

At that time, Akira, Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball Z—just to name a few— whooped my ass and looked a gazillion times more interesting than heroic fantasy.

What makes medieval stuff with magic that compelling to grown folks in the age of zombie-people walking around looking at they phones, I don’t know.

Stay safe, though.
