My dad worked in the same industry from 1962 to 2006 and did all the things people of his age were told to do to secure a comfortable last couple of decades and something to pass on to his children. He saw about 40% of his savings disappear during the housing crisis. I can't imagine what he is going through right now watching his finance shows...on Fox News.

He voted for Trump every chance he could.

Shit is fucked up.

even more so after seeing a clip from opening night. That flipped my opinion of the whole thing.

It doesn't sound bad, but is karaoke. To be fair, I wouldn't want Lydon up there, either.

Thinking about paying $52 to see Nitzer Ebb and Clock DVA at Cold Waves. I'm not really into any of the other bands but $52 appears reasonable for a first time experience with both bands. Hell, I'd pay $52 for Nitzer Ebb alone.

I am honestly so ready to go home from this trip to the Philippines that I’m even looking forward to the 20 hr plane ride.

Seeing Daniel Higgs tonight. Pretty damn excited about it.

fuck

This feeling of living on borrowed time, financially, is so god damn oppressive; I'm so sick of being underpaid/overworked, so sick of knowing I can't financially support my family on my own. If those morons in the federal government torch PSLF I'm going to lose my mind.

Suffice it to say, now wouldn't be a great time for aliens to visit Planet Earth.

At least if they wanted a flattering view of us.
