The day started off with two of my nightmare / pet peeves.

First the toilet overflowed. Like out of a movie, water all over the floor. I had to spend the next hour burning everything in the house. lol just kidding. But cleaned and thoroughly disinfected.

Then I had to clean the garage because the water delivery guy broker the big glass water cooler water thing, He said he cleaned it up, but no. He didn't. Chunks of glass. Particles of glass all over the garage. I had to throw the carpet out. Vacuum. Over and over again. Paper towels slightly moistened to pick up the really small pieces.

I say the only silver lining is that cleaning up great messes is an opportunity to make it even cleaner and more organized than it was before. And that I did.

In the other TMI side of things, I did a testosterone test, just for fun (also been feeling a little fatigued for the last... 10 years.

Levels totally normal. Bloodwork totally normal. Still weight 158 lbs. Got my appointment with the arm specialist next week, so we will see where that goes. So long as I can bowl, even if in pain.

Brandon Gill (the Texas Rep) posted a video a while back. From Jerusalem. I fact-checked it for context (it was from 2025, not yesterday or very recently).

I genuinely don't understand what's going on in the world. US representatives posting ally-ships with foreign nations. Not understanding the optics. If it were him in the Ukraine, taking a tour of a drone factory, people would be outraged.

And people getting outraged / irritated now are called antisemites.

Which only creates more antisemitic sentiment.

And then it becomes even more tribal. If they're coming "for us", now we need to band together even more. Tribalism. Groups within groups.

Seems loyalty should be to nation first. Especially a nation that lets you celebrate your individualism / group identity.

But there's a fracturing within the fracturing, all of which breaks down to identity groups within bigger groups.

Now I feel kind of bad for my response in which I tagged Gill, though it was a sincere question.

Anyhow, this too shall pass.

Listening to Rogan talk to a quantum physicist while jogging, and the iguanas scuttling into the bushes as I approach. I like to envision them the massive dinosaurs they once were. How wild the cosmos is, and yet we get bogged down in division that breaks down the human construct of nations.

And that ends the meandering stream of consciousness.

Going to try and do a vlawg today. And fish. And watch UFC tonight. With a steak and a nic dry martini.
