After watching DistroTube's video about desktop animations, https://invidious.kavin.rocks/watch?v=pqO_y_zSyjA, I'm thinking of installing those as well. Being to customize your computing experience exactly how you want is a perfect example of software freedom.

While my mom was making dinner by herself, she fell and her nose began bleeding all over, leading her to get fractured nose, lacerations across her nose and right temple, neck issues, and a slight bleeding in her brain. Because both of my parents have declining health and are fall risks, now i don't feel safe with them being by themselves anymore. I'm going to see about getting a live-in caregiver.

While I never treat what Mental Outlaw says as gospel, the more I see videos like this from him, https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=WqwHoKG4YQk, the more I'm convinced proprietary software is purposely created for, marketed to, and used by stupid people, and no I'm NOT being elitist for saying that.

Because my former coworker and friend also works as a hair stylist, I made her my official barber when she did a good job cutting my hair the first time. When she cut it this time, I also had her dye it a reddish brown to cover my patches of gray. Because I'm also known for my fashion sense and classy demeanor, now I look and feel like James Bond (I almost sound like him too because of my Transatlantic Accent).

After going back and forth with Bestbuy for a while, I finally got my Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laserjet Printer earlier today. Because of how big and heavy it is, it was a pain getting it up the stairs, and cleaning up my room just to set it up is going to be a huge task now. I'm thinking of making a review of it under Linux Hardware in the future.

I found this video of this lady who's a professional Etch-a-Sketch artist. Its amazing how beautiful works of art can be created by two knobs, and it proves (especially to today's kids) you don't always technology to be entertained. https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=6TAsmUSpbhM

For those of you who remember Transformers: Beast Wars, here's a playlist of episodes re-released in 4K https://vid.puffyan.us/playlist?list=PL_hfDtD68l8X7JjIAf1pusxoaX2JN1iAg

I bought jumbo sidewalk chalk for my friend's 6 year old son and gave it to her yesterday. This morning, I texted her a link of chalk art ideas he could use to get creative. Some of these drawings are very impressive. https://blitsy.com/chalk-art-ideas/

My best friend's father died earlier today. R.I.P Mr. Johnson.

I've successfully spoiled my cat

When logging in earlier, I saw that ad for Malibal laptops and decided to check it out. While I don't like to make snap judgments, I also don't understand how they expect to stay in business when their laptops cost an arm and a leg. I originally thought System76 was expensive, but now they take the cake.

Because my coworker asked me to fill in for him, today will officially be my last day. Although I'm excited to finally be moving onto bigger and better things, my relationships with everyone there are going to change in good and bad ways. I'll come there to be one of the new regulars though.

When I went shopping at the Ace Hardware by me earlier today, I was telling the manager about my birthday party at the bar I work at, and he said he's never been there. Because he's done a great job helping me, and I consider him a friend, I went to work for lunch and got him and his staff a large cheese pizza. When I gave it to him, he said "You're the man!"

My birthday was yesterday, and my coworkers have been helping me plan my party (which we had last night), and because I purposely asked for the theme to be the 90s (I was born in 1994), I had a RADICAL TIME DUDE!! I've been a good friend to them, and now they returned the favor. To answer the million dollar question, I'm 29 now.

Although I had to work at the bar last night, at least I got to celebrate New Years Eve with the friends I've made there. Happy New Year, everyone!

Earlier today, I had a lengthy debate over the phone with an older gentleman I know from the bar I work at. I've thoroughly researched adverse possession over the years and I'm interested in using that as a way to getting a place to live, but he claims that's a terrible idea and I'd be acting "irresponsibly" by doing so. While he is level-headed, it doesn't seem like he knows how adverse possession actually works.

Although its often fun to explore the ever-expanding world of the modern web, its also often addicting, and its something I've dealt with for years now. Because I'm so tired of catching myself in the act, I've decided I'm going to finally make myself do things that don't require it. This is why many older people say the early web was so much better than it is now, and why web alternatives are gaining traction.

I've bringing quart containers of soup home from work and giving it to my neighbors to try, and two of them liked it so far. I plan to give the rest to my other neighbors tomorrow. They haven't had the time to visit the restaurant yet, but have mentioned they're interested in going one day. Its awesome to know simple things like that strengthens communities, but also promotes a local brand.

I decided to check out the MATE version of Mint, and its a noticeable improvement over XFCE. That being said, I'm going to set up my desktop today, and install Devuan on it. Wish me luck.

Nintendo recently released a new trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Bros Movie. Even though I gave up on Hollywood years ago, this actually looks promising. https://piped.garudalinux.org/watch?v=ohJrpHUoZ10
