Aug 29, 2026: i get bored
Tonight, I'm writing in reverse order. It's a bit later into tomorrow than I normally see and I intentionally didn't think very much earlier today. That means I haven't pre-developed this narrative like I normally would. I'm closer to the moment.
Counterintuitively, while I was too busy thinkng about nothing, I thought very deeply about that nothing in particular. I thought about how little I've enjoyed my life. I thought about how little I've enjoyed my life and how that taught me to appreciate what I do enjoy. Even then, as I reflect on that appreciation I can't help but see the emptiness inside of all of it.
Like I said, I'm up past my bedtime so you'll have to forgive my aimlessness. I get bored and wonder.
Intentionally.
Part of me expressing my boredom is to seek it out. Keep going. Keep trying some stuff. Keep trying some stuff until I'm so bored I can't keep going. Keep going beyond that.
Today's mission: Just shy of 2,000 Topps basketball cards. Well, maybe like 1600 because I processed a bunch last night too.
- 2025-26 Topps, basketball
While that doesn't show as completed, this set is now completed at the basic level. There's twenty-five variations that I might never snag even one of, so for all intents and purposes, this set is completed. Shouts to wiscopullz for hooking me up with a bleep ton of these Topps cards.
I had to finish these tonight. Touching, sorting, sleaving, tcdb logging, and otherwise doing anything two thousand times is a bit liberating. Empty.
Pardon me while I lean into the grit (I get bored). 🫠
Take it easy, honey
Catch me toeing the line
Lost in a role I play
Stuck in a video game
Armed with a safety pin
Overly confident
My skin is airy thin
But my game is rigged to win
