Nostalgic Blindness

  Do you ever go back to something you loved as a kid? You’re getting hit with nostalgia. But at the same time, things are kind of weird because you’re an adult now and there’s a bunch of things you just kind of shrugged and went with, but now are kind of concerning.   “Get to the point.”   Right. Anyway, playing Pokemon again. Silver. Fun game, would recommend. Like in all Pokemon games, you play as a child. But this one has a phone and it’s fun because other kids ask for your number and call you at times. It was unique at the time because this game came out in 2000 where having a cell phone was real neato, prior to the time when these devices were common. So you were definitely a cool kid for having one and you get to keep in touch with other cool kids by exchanging numbers. Cool. But adults also want to keep in touch. Naturally your mom and Professor What’s-His-Name. But random adults you come across also insist on getting your number. There’s also this other...

Spam

Do you ever get emails that have you asking “Who do they think I am”? I get these all the time. But none has me as baffled as this one from UK Sotheby’s. If you’re unfamiliar with Sotheby’s, they’re a fine arts company. So they sell overpriced stuff to people with money. And the UK branch figured I was the perfect person for the latest thing they were trying to unload, a palatial mansion overlooking London’s Hyde Park. They have me pegged as a person who not only enjoys the finer things in life but also someone who fancies traveling all over the world,  experiencing the wonders of the Earth . And what better way to enjoy London than buying a mansion, for the low price of 42.5 million pounds. Being unemployed, this is just a little out of my price range, unfortunately.   The email also calls me Niki. Either I changed my name unknowingly, probably during one of my debaucherous late-night sessions of eating peanut butter while watching youtube and playing pokemon or this em...

Conspiracy: Jesus is Coming

Image
"What if I told you Jesus is coming back in December?" Conspiracy said this. But not in a super joyful tone. Just a casual one. Like he found out some band he doesn't care for is coming to Utah       He was talking to Chase on the phone. That's all he said. Vague. Like the Tesla brake idea. Despite having the idea, he doesn't go into details. Because you know how inventors don't know how their invention works? Yeah, like that. Oh, he also said a prayer over the phone.   for Chase and...Erika? Don't know who that is but whatever. He also mentioned something about trying to get back his sword and armor. I'm assuming this is a religious thing. So I have no idea what he's talking about. I remember there was stuff about the armor of god and putting it on. But that was always metaphorical, never literal. Putting it on meant more learning and keeping yourself in line with scriptures. But Conspiracy made it seem like something that could be tan...

I might have a slight problem.

  Me: So, back on September 20th, I weighed in at 165 when I got on the scale for a check up at the doctor. I bought a scale to keep track of it at home. This scale says I'm at 200. Either this scale is iffy or I gained 35 pounds in about two weeks. Cory : That can happen when you eat countless spoonfuls of peanut butter Voice inside my head:

I am a Soldier!

  “I am a soldier!”   Conspiracy fell asleep on the couch. Probably because there’s no place to sleep in his room. Still a mess, even though he rented out a storage unit for $60 a month. I don’t even see a difference, which means the only things he moved in there were the junk in his car, which I’m guessing was quite a lot. Yeesh. He accidentally showed a picture of him sending the rent to our landlord to everyone in the house group chat. Dude has $500 left in the bank. Wells Fargo bank, so I guess he moved his money back in. Guess that “Wells Fargo is collapsing this Friday!” shock wore off and he no longer thinks they’re in such financial straits to be at risk of collapsing at any moment. Oh, the soldier bit. Here’s me going off on tangents. He fell asleep on the couch but his phone was on. He was watching…something. A tik tok? A rumble? I don’t recognize the app, I’m the worst person to ask what site it was. All I know is the video was short with a drill sargant yellin...

More from Conspiracy

  ugh another hour gone ok, so he thinks a president can just write laws via executive order and no one would know I'm trying to explain someone would know because someone needs to be following those orders and if it's a big order, more people would notice and he thinks otherwise no one would notice Obama had open borders and no one noticed so I explained open borders would mean you could freely travel to and from customs and borders would know and they would find a sympathetic ear in Fox News I explained what open borders were, it would be like you could easily travel to idaho and back. he admitted that it wasn't that open borders, but a different kind of open borders one where we arrest and process people, then send them to court so....not open borders. and we jump around so much all this started with him being angry at the WEF wanting us to eat bugs. I have no idea And we ended with Biden wanting WW3 because Russia paid him. "...
