I had a good friend who was a clown. I drove a car small enough to call a clown car so I drove for a lot of gigs after we met. He would “clown up” and go to public events(concerts, festivals, karaoke, any excuse really) and be silly and most importantly have fun. He networked and had a few yearly gigs. Some paid but he was in it for the clowning and the cash was just a bonus. Don’t quit your day job and all.

As a person he was great company. Friends with everyone and woke up every day looking to have a good time. One yearly gig we did was a three hours away neighborhood wide garage sale. It was one of the few that paid. After a day of making balloon animals he stood in a chalk circle and I handed kids water balloons and kept the tip jar mostly empty. We made well over $100 each those days.

His backstory is a little more fucked up than the average clown I would guess. His primary networking was AA meetings and back in the 80s he was an alcoholic crackhead living in Detroit sleeping in dumpsters. The dude knew how to hustle. He told me the story of how his daughter had to come up with some cash and the chalk circle and water balloons show(?) outside bars solved her money issues overnight.

He had no formal training so don’t get hung up on some expensive day camp. If you have it in you you can be a clown. Getting a degree from a clown college is just a vanity project. A real clown, at least to me, hung out with Joe C watching wrestling and smoking weed while Kid Rock and the rest of the gang partied after shows. Be larger than life and you can be whatever you want to be.

Why is he so red? Is he about to fight Captain America?

I bought a smart watch and found it collecting dust. My new job is strongly against being on your phone while at work. Nothing against earbuds and a watch however. Now it takes me twice as long to send a text via my watch.

Fiber is solid so eat a whole box of Fiber One bars

Imagine being rich as fuck because you’re working 6 days a week instead of still barely making ends meet.

Hurl mar-a-lardo, NYC, and Delaware into the sun. After that probably break the hotdog eating world record.

6’2 and I lay down and sleep in my smart during my lunch break.

I appreciate your advice and will do that as soon as new job insurance kicks in but I am a sweat machine doing a physical job in increasing heat. Its a birth defect I was born with that had pediatricians warning my parents it could be a sign of cystic fibrosis. I am in OK condition currently and far past the CF terminal years. Back in gradeschool I would have salt on my cheeks after recess from dried sweat.

If I step out of my fan zone at work I’ll be sweating in under half a minute and beads will roll off my face two minutes later. I’ve been wearing my winter coat at work in the heat to remain comfortable while in the fans. I am not always standing in my fans.

I also started back on nicotine vapes. Everybody at work smokes cigarettes and I’d rather have firsthand smoke as opposed to secondhand smoke. When in Rome and all. It sucks and isn’t the wisest life choice but that’s the breaks.

Thanks again for your concern. If I didn’t have a litany of ways to lose weight going on I’d be more worried. I’m not doing anything I don’t have to do to lose it. I was over 200lbs from being a couch potato for a year. Now I’m only a potato 2 days a week and I bought a new chair.

I drink as much water as I can handle at work so I can go take a leak and have my phone out and not risk getting in trouble with the boss. I don’t eat breakfast or lunch. Since starting work 3 months ago I lost 30lbs. I’ll eat anything for dinner and I haven’t been trying to lose any weight.

I will add that moving to first shift after over a decade of second shift has been hard on my system and I’ve vomited in the mornings before work more often than not. It’s like clockwork. I have learned that I’ve got a window of about 4 hours after work during which I can eat. Sticking to that keeps morning nausea at bay thanks to an empty stomach in the morning.

Anyways water is great. The other guy at work brings cases of bottled water which I try to understand. The water quality here is quite good and a majority of my water at work comes out of the tap. I have no complains and I wouldn’t spend a dime more than I am now for what I get in addition to microplastics.

Thanks. I’ll have to try my hand at it with cakewalk settings and see if I can make any progress. Now I’m hoping my game saved before that fight and I don’t have to find my way back to where it is. No difficulty slider can make that easier.

I got stuck at either a boss or miniboss. Game’s a lot of fun and has good spirit but I didn’t have enough mana to fight a flying wizard. I don’t think that’s too much of a spoiler. This Zelda-like game has flying wizards and you can cast magic spells.

I either couldn’t backtrack or didnt trust my ability to return to that arena to advance the game. Whatever the case was after stalling out and putting it down I have found it difficult to get my head back in the game. At this point I’m waiting until I forget more of the game so I can start fresh again one day.

I once traded two 30 racks to Vince Neil for a garage show and all I had to show for it was a clogged toilet and cigarette burns on my couch.

Steal from the rich: accept expensive gifts from the rich

Give to the poor: at the very least see if anyone needs his old phone. One of you may know somebody who has a cracked screen and is willing to up/side/downgrade to a phone in better condition.

Now is a good time to invest in caltrops

Since anyone can say anything online I’m gonna need to see some butt crack for verification.

The only way most people experience the full game content is to watch someone else play it so a movie is just putting a price tag on that.

Was the pyramid scheme selling the sheets?

Tim Follin makes good music. Try the NES Pictionary theme song and if you like that Solstice theme song will blow you away.
