Resolve right now to longer be a stool pigeon in 2019 but rather:

Do What You Love

Love What You Do

Sad to hear via email my friend’s little monkey is not feeling well. That sucks. I can sympathize with the ailing child as my tummy hurts a bit too…today I made 20 chicken nuggets and sat down with them to watch HBO’s 4 hour Elvis documentary: The Searcher.

THANK YOU for taking the time to listen to My Pal Sammy Episode 1. This is a short podcast mini-series to keep me occupied during the Christmas break. An experiment if you will.

The second episode is up. Wanted to get the 3rd up before 2018 expired but it doesn’t appear like that’ll happen. Emphasis on break…as in Christmas break. The series is meant to capture some of my thoughts about what I’ve been consuming since this is my prime TV watching time.

What will not make the cut, however, is the following observation…

Had a unprompted moment of reflection about my life…the direction it’s going and the choices I’ve made.

But not the Brexit feelings you’re thinking off. They’re still modern feelings though.

Every Christmas break I pantlessly sit and watch and absorb a lot of pop culture (books, comic books, tv shows and movies) and then I have tea and I think a lot and I write a lot so this time I’m recording a handful of My Pal Sammy episodes; this is my Captain’s Log…a record of some of the pop culture I’ve been consuming and some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about over my 2018 Christmas Break.

Tonight…Boxing Day 2018 shortly after midnight and as I sip my tea I’m thinking about Thanos. This topic was prompted by watching Avengers: Infinity War (which premiered on Netflix on Christmas Day).

It’s also Boxing Day so eh…why not and I quote Fight Club.

Thanks for listening.

Tonight…Christmas Eve shortly after midnight my tea-fuelled-thinking is focused on how you can be popular or you can be relevant. This topic was prompted by watching:

Adam Sandler’s 100% Fresh (Netflix)

Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable (Netflix)

Coldplay: A Head full of Dreams (Amazon Prime)

Oasis: Supersonic (Amazon Prime)

Springsteen on Broadway (Netflix)

Bendis’ Man of Steel (DC Comics)
