Raindrops on my windowsill
Longing for your nature's feel
Loved that song when we were kids
Now it makes me want you here
Sometimes, people disappear
Think that was my biggest fear
I should have protected you
Sometimes, I wish it would rain
Sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
Sometimes, I wish it would rain
The girl has found another and
Gone away
With her went my future
My life is filled with gloom
So day after day
I stay locked up in my room
I know to you......
The Empty Dream Machine is an ill title for a song. I basically had someone explain what that is to me last night. He didn't know that's what he was describing to me, and at the time, neither did I. Good dude - needed a little hope.
Not unlike how mike vick showed us Jesus through Football, black thought illuminates through rhyme schemes. If we mention the greatest poets of all time, and consider the actual peak, thought might come out on top. There's a certain quality, times quantity, calculation that results in our pal from the roots being crowned GOAT.
Last thing before I let you go. This is the second chronicle that is fully gay, and the first one where I meant it. Not sure what the fuck that means? Click this link: this is gay
The love of my life has been supplying me with giannis address labels since I first started falling in love with the united states postal service. As part of my various processes, I always hold on to some of it so I can eventually pay it forward.
Here is me paying it forward to nikkigirl while she's traveling for work on the day that biggie smalls died.
29 years ago today the notorious b.i.g. was assassinated. I hold Puff Daddy personally responsible. He shoulda been in jail long before he actually was. If he never had another free breath in his life......
Wait a minute. Did you just stumble into one of my longest running inside jokes with nikkigirl? Why, yes, yes you did. Turns out one of the greatest poets in human history died on the same day as mah baby was alived. Not on the same day of course, but I digress.
I might never stop talking if I reminisced over every inside joke, song lyric, word from the television box, picture, or whatever else that nikkigirl and I share together. My partner in crime and I share our own language - beeps, boops, bops, eye contact, hand signals, and we might have a whole conversation, with you there, and you wouldn't even know it happened.
On her birthday, I don't wish her a happy birthday (well I do that too), and instead I say: Rest In Peace Biggie Smalls. Just one more in a long line of ways I show my love to her.
No, not the weighted dinosaur that's one of my best pals (eeeeeeeemma got that for me). Let's pull it out and take a closer look:
Do I have an oversized puzzle binder? Why yes, yes I do. There's maybe a dozen or so puzzles in there, and while I hate to brag, I was a pretty big deal on the r/Jigsawpuzzles subreddit for a bit. Puzzles played a big role in keeping me sane after I quit my last gig. Especially in the immediate aftermath.
My most viral post though? When I built a puzzle of Lambeau Field that was full of celebrities and posted this:
I had quite a bit of fun with biggest fab four fans on the r/beatles subreddit for a few days there. 43k+ views! That was a fun puzzle to do; stop over and I'll show you sometime.
I've had this deadpool & logan puzzle on my project plan since late October of last year and it's good to finally knock it off the list. I added a QR code, dropped it in the binder, and on to the next!
For any current or future QR code visitors, here's some additional related content bub:
If I ever want to lean into ego and embrace my most ridiculous pRETTyjimmy nature while letting my hair down, I'll throw on some pretty flacko:
First of all, I've never seen the actual video before. I've been 💘.
Let's focus on the main message for today, next:
Who said you can't live forever lied
Of course, I'm living forever
I'll forever, I'll live long
You can't ever deny my force
I'm living forever
I'll forever, I'll live
You, my dear reader, are how I live forever. My kids, my besties, my wifey, my pals, my family, my peers, and long lost whomevers, you build my legend. If I disappeared today, unclejimmy would still ring out in these streets. Probably lounder than ever. At that point, each one, teach one.
Forever.
I can't say I fully understand why, and I also won't hide from how the world reacts around me. Maybe, I'll even chirp with a puffed out chest about it every now and again. Perhaps I've known all along.
[Places humble(ish) hat back on]: Be aspirational in everything, be inspirational to a growing few.
Time to begin the process of closing out the deadpool & logan puzzle from the project board. I tend to get annoyed with myself when ideas or work linger too long. Like, you know the end, fucking do it already. Turns out, I annoy myself quite regularly. There's more idea, than there is time.
Or, should you be open to universal truths; perhaps there's the exact right amount of both.
Anywho, let's start with today's supplies:
During my lost period, I was using so much Mod Podge that I had an Amazon (eat the rich) Subscribe & Save subscription so I didn't forget to order it. While I no longer have the subscription, I can assure you I am ready for any type of apocalypse that could be survived with excessive amounts of Mod Podge. I got you boo.

I just had a good idea drop. I'm running into limitations with how the
ReleaseSection component is structured and deployed throughout the site
because it's grown into a bunch of disparate ideas mushed together. We (the
voices in my head) believe a solution has begun to emerge. Logged as: [WU-713]
ReleaseSection is a Rainbow
Back to the show, the front is curing while I type this out.
Now the back is curing while I type this out.
As part of my goal to resuse everthing around me in service of the next idea, I'm going to use the now empty puzzle box to hold my marvel stickers. That meant going to my "generic" stickers box and sorting all of the super heroest stickers out of one box, and into another. Hey look, infinityStones (re:later)!
Since we were there, might as well spice up the back of the puzzle now that it cured.
Now, we'll let the entire puzzle sit for a day before finishing off the idea tomorrow. Since I'm posting about a tomorrow that doesn't yet exist, unless it's today and you found yesterday, let's talk about:
Oh, and here's the day I originally completed the puzzle and was scolded by lulu in the comments for the first time. I'm still thinking about working on it little lady.
I couldn't leave without letting you know the first two names of today's post.
I was going to weave a positive narrative based on this jam, but that didn't quite work out. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Next item up for bid? I was going to weave a narrative around living life as if it's now or never, but alas.
Let's let Dice Raw take us away:
Everything's changin' around me and I wanna change too
It's one thing I know, it ain't cool bein' no fool
I feel different today, I don't know what else to say
But I'ma get my shit together, it's now or never
Now or never, now or never
Now or never, now or never
I've been sitting on an old idea for a while now, and I think I've realized the when of it all. I'm writing this here to motivate myself, or maybe better said, call myself out to ensure I actually do it. What might this become?
Leaving this unused for 15 months is starting to gnaw at me. At the same time, 15 months feels like yesterday.
This last week or so of content is brought to you by the following vibes.
I didn't quite get to sharing this with mr. meff before he left for his
mom's yesterday, but luckily, there's less than a zero percent chance he shows
up here to be spoiled before he returns next week. Anywho, I added a QR Code (lulu's favorite thing) to Noahkopia pointing back to the offical jeff-meff page:
My weird years long art project continues, with 2 of the 5 paintings from the lost series now complete and distributed.
I bet he'll enjoy opening this one up over seeing the painting again though:
Speaking of nikkigirl, she's finally started to check out my chronicles (lol), and every once in awhile she tells me that she doesn't get it. Take it away ghost:
TL:DR; I always try to be a good trade partner. Whatever I receive, I try to return in spades. That might be tcdbd, nikkigirl, the kiddos, family, friends, co-workers, or some rando off the street.
Amplify others. Everyone can get it like Obamacare.
Puffin' Michael Jordan, catch a lot of air
Shuttin' down your city, then we outta there
Everyone can get it like Obamacare
Keep it buddy, they don't want no problems here
PS.......I listened to this song on the way home after dropping jeff meff off at volleyball practice, realized it was the name of today's blog, and then just double realized the lyrics that triggered the post has Michael Jordan.......and Take 2, Day 23.......numberology wizardry.
