      Chilling and waiting for a buddy to come over

      Whoa!
      Haven’t seen you in a while. How goes things?

      Heh, it's been a crazy few years. So much has changed that it's hard to know where to start. I've been with my partner Amanda for 5.5 years now. Saving to buy a home currently. Turning 30 this year, which I couldn't be more excited for!! My tenish-year plan from 21 has had all the main highlights ticked off, and now I'm gearing up and planning the next stage, which will involve me finally working for myself. Let's see... I fixed my credit, took down a toxic manager at work about two years ago, settled a lawsuit in my favor against a hyper-conservative business for rescinding a job offer because of the presence of cannabis on the drug test and knowing I understood the law better than their COO, who made the call, did. That one was particularly satisfying because none of my friends thought I had a chance and I was confident in my case and it paid off.

      Let's see, I picked up playing Magic the Gathering, specifically EDH or commander. It's so much fun! I play with paper cards online with people all around the world on a regular basis which is freaking cool. I weigh the same now as I did when I graduated high school except I'm 2" taller and was a 40x34 pant vs a 34x34 now. I have spent a lot of time trying to get my health in order, physically and mentally. Life is still life and I did get COVID in January, which I'm still feeling effects from so that's put a damper on things.

      Overall, my life is tough and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm proud of the challenges I've overcome in the past few years and the odds I've beaten. I'm more secure and confident of the man I'm becoming than I ever even thought possible six or seven years ago. It's actually really weird because SW, MangoLassi, NTG, all of it used to be so front and center in my brain, along with IT and the like. Nowadays, it's completely different and it's interesting to consider the contrast between now and then with who I was and what I believed, how I lived, etc and now.

      Obviously this is far from comprehensive but there's both too much to type and plenty I wouldn't share in this arena anyways. One thing I do want to say is: @scottalanmiller I would like to catch up at some point. It's been awhile since I talked to the man who bought me my first legal alcoholic drink and yes, I ordered a mudslide because I'm a bit of a basic bitch. πŸ˜‰

      Supernatural, A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is the best adaptation of a book series to a show I've ever seen. NPH is PERFECT as Count Olaf!!! And a couple others too.

      Was laying in bed getting ready to pass out when my right ankle started to cause me excruciating pain. Currently in the ER waiting for the ultrasound techs to arrive. Bug bite and broken bones have been ruled out, so far. I'm wondering if it's DVT. It runs in my family so I'll keep everyone posted.
      Message me on Facebook or @Minion-Queen , as she'll probably be the one most in the loop. Wish me well guys and gals!

      Started rewatching Scrubs with a friend who's never seen it. Amanda and I have both watched it extensively. He is Dr. Cox. It's awesome!

      Great news to me! From Phoronix

      Canonical has announced via Mark Shuttleworth they are ending their development of the Unity 8 desktop environment and will be switching back to GNOME desktop by Ubuntu 18.04.

      WOOHOO! I stopped using Ubuntu right around when they made the initial switch from GNOME to Unity because Unity was just horrible. GNOME FTW!

      @thanksajdotcom A man after my own heart.... I'm still not hugging you tho!

      Hugs make everything better! My first distro was Gutsy Gibbon (07.10), so I'm a diehard GNOME fan.

      Found Alan Walker just recently. This song has become my 1yr old son's favorite. As soon as the music kicks in he's dancing and staring at it.

      @thanksajdotcom I'm happy I was able to find something, for it greatly helps the user + exec on a call that's happening in an hour; however, I can't help but take a step back and say "damn, do you realize what you're requesting?" πŸ˜›

      I need a thing! No, I can't describe it or give you any details...I just need it! Oh, and I needed it two hours ago. Can you help me?! πŸ˜‰
