#basecamp video

Sorry to leave you all hangin’ for so long, but I’m back and more beat up and broken than ever. Maybe not quite that, but I’m hurtin. My ass wiped out on my bike the other night on my way to work. There’s some pretty good GoPro footage of it. Can we add that, boss? Should I send you the file? Upload it to basecamp? Well figure it out (content warning, I do say a swear after I hit the ground). Anyway, my right arm is pretty useless, which makes some things difficult. If anyone wants to shovel for me, get at me. I can pay you in US Dollars, Bananacoin, and shout-outs on this blog. Heads up, though, I live on a corner. There’s a lot of sidewalk. Like a lot of sidewalk.

I walked to work today since the roads are shit and my body is broken. We’ve got Joe Biden tonight. He’s on a book tour much like Crooked Hillary was, but I have a hard time differentiating the real Joe Biden with the Onion’s depiction of Joe Biden. I haven’t seen him yet, but I imagine he’s going to roll up in a Lincoln Continental or something like that, road soda in hand, clouds of reefer smoke billowing out, with a trunk full of his books. Any minute now he’ll get here. I tried to make my trip to the mall a quick one, so I wouldn’t miss Uncle Joe’s arrival. I got stuck behind a family with like 5 kids on the escalator from the ground level of the mall up to the 2nd level. They then got on the escalator to the 3rd floor food court. I knew I for sure didn’t want to get stuck behind them in line at Qdoba, so I booked it to the stairs swiftly and got in line before they had even decided which of the four eateries they wanted to munch.  

The Matriarch was working today, and she made my burrito fast and pretty good. Lots of rice. Rice is good. Good scoop of black beans, followed by a less good scoop of pintos. I got the very last scraps of the veggies today, which were all red bell peppers. I won’t complain about too much red pepper ever. Who would complain about that? It’s just weird to see only one color in that pan and have that color be red. The serving of guacamole was generous, and it was spread around well. I think it should go without saying that the Matriarch knows how to wrap a burrito pretty damn well, and that’s what she did. I burned up the last of my points today. I’m going to need to start buying burritos again. The free streak has come to an end.

Before I leave, I want to remind everyone that the Democrats and the Republicans are hardly different from one another, and it’s in the interest of the ruling elite to have us believe that these 2 parties, Center-right and Right-ass-right are our only two choices. None of them really give a shit about you. I’m not saying go vote Green or whatever. Electoral politics are not the way. I’m saying that the only hope lies in the organization of the working class. Labor creates all wealth. The capitalist class needs you, you don’t need them. Blah blah blah. Go read some theory. I’ve got to get back to work.
