Oh no. Not Shane MacGowan.

Oh no. Not Shane MacGowan.

Honestly, it's kind of surprising that he lived this long. RIP.

Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
And no corpse can lie upon me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

The whole album is fire, but the funniest thing about it is it contains a top 2 Christmas song conceived since Vince Guaraldi. Therefore, per Diem Hard rules, it is. Christmas Album.

I get yelled at every year because I insist they're the only good Christmas music, so yes. Correct.

The 2nd track off of RS&L ("The Old Main Drag") is one of my favorite things ever written.

I just pick up my cats and weigh them+myself on a bathroom scale, then just weigh myself and do some subtraction.


Of course I don't do this all too often because that second number is about 10 higher than I would like.

Good alternative.....

Yeah I actually weighed myself tonight after the past month of not being strict with my diet. Never imagined I would ever reach my current weight after being considered skinny pretty much most of my life up until maybe 5 years ago. Middle age effin sux....

Haven't been back to the gym since the kid was born. I was going about 3 times a week prior to her being born l. I need to get back to it. Do a couple peloton rides a week, but that's enough.

I'm only 33 but I'm already starting to feel it. In high school I could eat anything and still not gain weight. I think I graduated at 125 pounds, and I was 5'10". Now I'm up to ~165 on average. I'm just glad I have a job that keeps me on my feet all day. If I was sitting at a desk I'd probably be looking at an extra 20 pounds.
