Just found out that I’m related to @RHCPchad through BOTH my mother’s and father’s lineage. I have old 9mm video of Chad’s dad Curt. Chad Smith’s has roots in Newton, WV! Now if I could talk to the great Oz and meet him!

If you are in sales and you call a potential client, your opening line should not exceed 5 minutes of talking without a breath. In fact, 5 seconds is probably too long.
Whoa. This bar’s playlist just went straight from Colt 45 & 2 Zigzags by @ogafroman to Sailing by Christopher Cross. WTF is happening right now?
long live the big east

41 yrs ago today John Lennon was assassinated. I can never articulate how much impact his artistry had on me and I was only 3 years old at the time. It’s ok to love pop culture older than you.

Muhammad Ali documentary on PBS is amazing. And I don’t even like boxing.
I’m pretty good in the art of BS, but my essay writing on philosophy is completely frozen with writer’s block. Or perhaps writer’s avoidance! Going from a data-driven science education to subjective philosophical theory is a mental leap I wasn’t quite prepared for.
Overhead in Morgantown sports bar just now: “Neil Brown is doing a good job”
iowa state fans mad in my mentions is so fun that it's almost like this is a real rivalry, we are absolutely the two most victim mentality fanbases in this league when things go wrong, it's the spiderman meme

Reminded of the yr my grayling dorsal fin photo won first place in a national photo contest, but Black Walnut Festival officials hung it upside down. A photo of a flower won. I posit that art in poorly educated communities only exists to the extent of its most basic understanding
If I ever dabble in graffiti. I’m tagging a bridge with “Richard Ojeda is live.” I swear, that is the most frequent notification I ever see.
The new Hemingway documentary by @KenBurns has me spellbound. I want to read these stories again. And write. And visit these places. To cast a fly on the Two Hearted River.
Wanna feel worse about being alone? Go to a bar and watch mental midget imbeciles get showered with attention. #misanthropicmuch?

Derived from Middle English aker (from Old English aecer) and akin to Latin ager (“field”), the acre had one origin in the typical area that could be plowed in one day with a yoke of oxen pulling a wooden plow. The Anglo-Saxon acre was defined as a strip of land 1 × 1/10 furlong.

What if everyone has it completely wrong and the real God only demands one thing to enter paradise/heaven — to be buried face down?

People in Morgantown are freaked out when you try to be friendly. Much different than Charleston.
They are trying to slap a Native man with 17 years in prison for supposedly grabbing a police shield during the Black Hills protest. This guy is taking pictures with one.
