Hozier's "Take Me To Church" is still such a powerful song for me.

Even moreso in as I've grown older.

The first verse, bridge and chorus all sing of love, of a lover. But that second verse, to me, is less about a lover and more about revolution.

"This is hungry work"

Hey @helldivers2.bsky.social we need a Hellbike. The BMX-01, a truck bike. Nothing special but it's faster than sprinting. Great for Farming missions and just general enhancement of gameplay.
And a motorcycle with a sidecar, the NDN-02, modeled after the famous Indian motorcycle, obviously.

Ungh ungh. I need more than that. Is it comfort? Effective? Or just self pampering? Ain't nothing wrong with it if it is, but if I'm about to learn a pedicure is going to make gym life more enjoyable kuz of less foot pain and discomfort then I need to know this now.

Got referred to as "burley" by my wife's coworker.

The way he walked me through it, just like I walk him through it, it lets me know he's learned it well.

I hope he takes the moment as a core memory on how to process gaming frustrations, and the other frustrations in life.

"now take a deep breath"
I roll my eyes, but do.
"And another.."
And I do.

"Feel better?"

"No, I'm still frustrated, but that's why we drink water and breathe, to take a moment to CALMLY process those emotions."
"Ok, good. Do you want to try again?"

Turns out there's a handful more henchmen guarding him, one got the better of me and the frustration and aggravation builds to a head. After dying, I stormed into the kitchen just to process.

Boyo comes in behind me, asks if I'm ok. Sees I'm frustrated and goes.
"Drink some water!"
So I do...

I think I'm doing a good job.

Playing Medieval Dynasty with Boyo next to me, got killed, had to start back at town. I've got like, a couple hours in game left to kill this one dude for the king. I've been at it for over a week.

Finally think I've got em all down and it's just the one dude....

I don't believe in reincarnation. But I think it's a little weird that the Orange Bastard was born a little over a year after the Mustached Bastard died.

Parenting is hard. Not just the day to day, but the management side of it. The big decisions. The disciplinary actions. It's hard. I get it's hard being a kid, I haven't forgotten that and that must be considered at all times. But parenting is hard.
