It's easy to get angry or depressed, especially when you're dialed into politics, and lose sight of those little moments of joy that help us keep on going.
I'll share a recent example; Today at work, I was scanning barcodes for the frames we were about to scan (I work in the face framing department for a cabinet making company), I was looking at all of the base-type frames, which usually start with a "B" followed usually by a number. We have B42s, b60s, B20s, etc.
Suddenly, it hits me, and I turn to my coworker and say, "If I see any B-52s, I'm singing 'Love Shack.' " (for those who don't get the reference: https://www.bitchute.com/video/RXnbtu1Oq7fO/) )
we had a good chuckle and got back to work, but it made me snicker for a little bit after that.
This is what I mean, though. it's not a big event, just a small thing, but it's these moments that help us getting through, even when things look bleak...
He didn't admonish you for not going with Rock Lobster?
No, but feel free, lol.
Whatever you think our thing is, it's a marathon and not a sprint. And being the messengers of unpopular news, we have to be seen as having joy in our lives.
Glad to hear it.
Honestly, I think people in general need this reminder sometimes... God knows I do...
Honestly, I posted this on four or five different boards, plus a couple other social media sites...
We could all do with a little positivity once in a while...
This post was a little thing that I enjoyed. Had a chuckle, so thanks for that.
But I have to say...I can't fucking stand the B-52s
That's cool, sorry you're not a fan(I think they're okay).
Glad I could make you laugh, though. =)
Honestly what puts me off is the way the dude undulates his voice like he's about to have a seizure or something. Other than that it's just standard goofy '80s shit, which I usually really love.
Ever seen the MV for Peter Gabriel's Big Time? That's more my speed for '80s nostalgia.
Yeah, b-52s were pretty generic pop, honestly... Like I said, i don't mind them, but meh...
I'm more of a twisted sister or black sabbath fan, honestly...
and of course, you can't beat a true classic...
I was blasting headphones so thanks for that, heh.
Shit, sorry man... I wanted to mess with you, not deafen you.😂😅
It's all gravy dude, haven't had a good rolling in a while.
It's weird isn't it? used to piss you off when it was common. now? you almost miss it...almost...
still, sorry about your ears
90s brat here, though I remember OG transformers fondly, lol.
Dang, even at our age you can still stumble upon a new banger every now and then.
I would generally agree with you about the best decade thing, but I do hope you've been tuned in to to the revival of the '80s sound this past decade or so in certain corners of the scene. It's not just "Stranger Things."
Your loss :\
Hey man, you have fun if they're your thing.
Oh yeah you still gotta love life and laugh, but goddamn it's cathartic to scream. I'll call up my best buddy and we'll get drunk and absolutely scream about how much we hate Biden. Both of us feel a million times better afterwards.
Do what you can, mydude...
actually, how far away does your friend live?
why not take that energy and go clean up trash in your neighborhood? Two for one. You get to blow off steam, and you can help your community at the same time.
😂 can you imagine the blown head gaskets in the media when they try to spin "angry alt right white men clean up city" as a bad thing?
He lives nine hours away. I used to volunteer at foodbanks and do all that shit. All I ever did was help chain smoking black women with a half dozen ungrateful children in tow. Not a goddamned one of them could ever muster a thank you. They got free food, free clothing, and then government checks on the side. I'm done with it.
There's no trash where I live. We're all country folk who take care of our own.
well, in that case, you could always work on a contingency for the coming apocalypse...

I was awarded a certificate for 5 years of service at a job I don't particularly care for in front of an audience of people I also don't particularly care for. It made my day nonetheless, as it came during a particularly hard week for me.
The little things is right.
well there's another thing; do your best even when you hate what you do(unless it's something ethically unsound, then do a terrible job, lmao.)
I'm not saying it's ideal, but it can pay off down the road...
My job is pretty chill thankfully. Just wanted to contribute to a good post. Cheers!
hey, you never know, maybe it's the spirits of heroes come back from the dead to save the world once again, lol.
