I had a dream the other night I wore a Hellfire Club t-shirt from Stranger Things to church. Church talks about hell from time to time, and I don’t think it would totally be inappropriate. Stranger things have happened.
The Minneapolis mayor was right to use profanity to get his point across. Right now, I feel like profanity and other things are necessary for the moments we are living in. Life depends on it. Decorum is out of the question right now when people are getting unalived and abducted. A strong response is what is needed and if some get offended then that is their problem. Fighting back is what must be done. So dammit, let’s give this all we have. There will be hell to pay.
Although I have healthcare through my work others get it from other sources. Healthcare should be a fundamental human right in the wealthiest nation on Earth.
Everyone is different. We are all unique. The things I am interested in has a high nerd factor. Things like religion, professional wrestling, Linux and the media gives me life. However, I find myself alone in those pursuits.
Not everyone is geeked out about the things I find fascinating. With that being said, I enjoy the company of people and I want to have friendships that I can share those interests in.
Lately, I have been exploring more about my personality through the Enneagram. It’s about finding what makes you tick and so much more. I am not going to go into details, but the Enneagram personality tests do make a lot of sense to me. I am a number four (The Individualist). There are other factors that also create an individual personality profile. If you want to know more, do a search and there are loads of resources online.
All I want is to have meaningful friendships with people who get me. I do want the power to be myself without fear. Everyone should want that. I hope this makes sense.
The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.

OK, good people, it is the last Monday of 2025. Many of us are returning to work to finish out the year, hopefully on a positive note. Let’s hope it will be a good one for all of us. Peace and love to you all today.
