Finished reading: How to Think Like a Roman Emperor by Donald J. Robertson 📚
I did this one as an audiobook and I think I might check it out from my library again sometime next year. It was a great introduction to stoicism. Some parts do seem to drag on though…
This year, I took less pictures, wrote less, and was less happy.
Yes, I’m aware that those are all related.
One thing that I do appreciate about Mac OS26 is the new spotlight. I’ve been using a launcher for years, but never the power
features of it.
Today, I’m making the switch.
Just a small picture of Lillie.
"I Got You Babe (Single Version)" by Sonny & Cher
What's a song you associate with your favorite holiday?
I told my wife that my favorite holiday was Groundhog Day and she challenged me to name one song that celebrates the holiday.
I feel that this is the most iconic song from the movie that highlights the holiday!
"Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye
Share a song that feels like it has healing powers.
I showed my selection with my wife and she laughed in my face. Good thing laughter is good medicine.
One of my favorite things about this song is that I remember watching a pop up video stating that he thought videos capture your soul.
"Tomorrow" by Aileen Quinn & Orphans
What song makes you think about the future?
I was trying to think of another song, but this is the only thing that came to me.
I keep forgetting that the <marquee> tag still exists.
"Whistle While You Twurk (ColliPark Mix)" by Ying Yang Twins
What's your favorite song to listen to while doing chores?
I don't actually listen to this song. I just picked it because it reminds me of the whistle why you work song.
"You Can't Win (The Wiz/Soundtrack Version)" by Michael Jackson
Share a song that sounds like your favorite childhood memory.
My mother and I would watch The Wiz on a regular basis. This is one of my favorite songs from the movie. It's a a fun song in that it has an up tempo beat with some depressing lyrics.
You can't win, you can't break even And you can't get out of the game People keep sayin' things are gonna change But they look just like, they're stayin' the same
You can't win, your in over your head And you only got yourself to blame You can't win Child (You can't win Child) You can't break even And you can't get out of the game
I remember there being a dark period in my life where I was listening to it everyday. I had to stop and put it aside.
