Your creepy uncle. Owner of Grindhouse Press. Sometimes I write things, and sometimes people read the things I write. www.cv-hunt.com

Texas makes carrying a gram of weed a felony and South Carolina passed bans on WHERE YOU CAN GET TATTOED ON YOUR BODY. I'm I the only one who finds this all fucked? For the love of all that is unholy, cleanse it all with fire.

Ever been going along with your life, and out of nowhere, someone you haven't wasted your time to think about in over a decade sends you a message? Yeah, this is why I use a pseudonym.

When I'm browsing books in a store, I sometimes wonder, who decides when an author's name should be ten times bigger than the title on the cover? How famous do you have to be before it doesn't matter what the title is, just that your name is so big that it reaches out and slaps anyone walking by?

Just now getting around to watching season 2 of The Pitt. The first episode was fucking brutal. Pretty accurate from a medical standpoint. Kudos to the special effects.

The cost of groceries is going to make me a breatharian. Who the fuck can afford food? We don't go out to eat anymore, and junk food is luxury. Take a 30% pay cut and add inflation. That's how I'm losing weight. A bag of apples is $10! That's fucking crazy.

I always tell people I hate musicals, then I remember Phantom of the Paradise and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Let me rephrase that, I hate most musicals.

The air quality is so bad here with the wildfires that we're being told not to be outdoors for more than a few minutes without a mask. It's definitely choking me, giving me a pulsing headache, and it's hard to breathe. We have 2 air filter fans going in the house to tamp it down.

I like that our doorbell camera thinks that the two of us riding our bikes in the driveway is unusual activity. We only do it EVERY DAY when the weather allows.

Verify your age: I grew up without the internet cellphones, and the TV went off air at midnight. We rented VHS movies and read books when were bored. We practiced air raid drills in elementary school. I had to buy lead additive to put in my gas tank when I started to drive.

Literally spent all weekend stripping, sanding, a refinishing 6 chairs and a 6' table left by the previous owners of our house. Since most of it had to be done outside, I ended up with one of the worst cases of heat rash I've ever had. Left is the before, and right is the after of one of the chairs.

Brother-in-law: What are you guys doing for the 4th? Me: Nothing. I hate the 4th. My parents always thought it was a brilliant idea to make the 4th my birthday celebration since it was 'close enough.' Andy: We've never watched the fireworks since we've been together. BIN: Really? Me: I hate it.

All I do all day is obtain surgical prior authorizations for patients with horrible cancers, or people need something amputated (usually toes, feet, or from the knee down), and dread the day when it's my turn.

Finally having prints made of photos I took almost 3 years ago. I'm the least sentimental person you'll ever meet. I think when your branch of the family tree stops branching, and there's no one to leave anything to, you don't care about artifacts.

We're under a heat dome all this week. Went for my morning walk and made it back drenched in sweat. Think my lunch walk will be on my walk pad. Be careful out there and stay hydrated.
