Goliath follows "a down-and-out lawyer (Thornton) as he seeks redemption. His one shot depends on getting justice in a legal system where truth has become a commodity, and the scales of justice have never been more heavily weighed toward the rich and powerful.
Not a big fan of BBT, but he doesn't need me. He manages to find characters that he can do,. Alcoholic, butt fucking Santa, crazy drug dealer, and in this case, the best fucking lawyer ever. He's not a failure, just waiting for the right time to step up. My Love and I are three episodes into the series and it hits you like...like a van running over the defendant in the last episode. Just walking and talking with BBT and WHAM...fun the fuck over. Unless something changes drastically, I'm going to give this one a big thumbs up.
Now, I'll share some journaling from earlier this morning...

The beginning of 2018….who knows what this year will hold?
Buckle up buttercup.
But then, you could say that about he start of most years.
So what do I do? Write about eh year that jus t passed? Do a
little review?
Or do I make resolutions? Look forward? The best is yet to
come. Is it?
Hey, I’m writing and that…that is the best of both worlds,
rev and prediction all rolled into one. Best to keepmy eyes opento what is
going on around me. Forget about ..no. I won’t forget aobut the past. I feel
the need to look back and remember, to assure myself it is all real. Looking
back isn’t he problem, it’s dwelling on regrets and missed opportunities. Shit
happened. First, see if thre is something that can be learned to make going
forward easier. Two, then stop working it. They sayh the most obvious answere
is probably the correct answer, I’v heard just that form the likes of Sherlock
Holmes. Ok. The most obvious lesion is the take home message so find it, …then
stip thinking about.l it. Don’t forget…to no tforget. After you’ve thought
about it and then decided not to dwell on it, keep the memory as part of the
collective, revisit it just to remember, no need to dissect the situation. Keep
it because it is part of who you are.
Whare did all this ocme form?
\All these questions?
Do you remember me waritting with so many question marks?
Hardy har har. I might be amusing myself and nothing more.
Probably.
The world made me do it. I started this life as a child who
was rewarded aka left the fuck alone when I managed ot entertain myself and not
need supervision. The whole j’b eing an asshole’ lesson was taught toi me after
that. I have been rewarded for that to. I was smart and tough and didn’t take
any shit. I don’t suffer fools lightly…the world made me do it. I’m not sure if
I would choose to be an asshole but I would choose to be a loner. People annow
and frustrage me. I need the few people I have let get close, but not any more.
I do not look to be popular. Whay? Because people are just going to manipulate everything
to their advantage, it’s the way our dinosaur/lizard brains work. I need, I
need….I need…like a lizard darting his tounge, looking for his next meal or
fuck.
Watched BBC Planet Earth yeaterday. It’s a hard world. The
animals hav it much worse. WE have easy lifes and not just free of insect bits
and harsh conditions. We don’t have the rest of the huyman race trying to kill
us to fuck ur mates or eat our children. Some are out there who whould…but not
all. Not like snow lepords. All the snow lepords are trying to keill each other
and eat allthe babies.
We talked about this last night. Mo and I, about the period
of peace we had better enjoy or altl the very least appreciate becasueit cant
last forever. Mo knew his history books well enough to say there were only to
ther periodsof peiace on the books. I forget the dates but one lasted about
thirty years. I’d say we are twenty to thirty years into our grace period….period
ofgrace. Small wars for money are going
on e.g. Us v. Iraq, US v. Afganistan, US v. Syria, UAE v. Iran, Russia v.
Ukraine….that’s mos of whats going on now and most recently. Enjoy waiting for
the soe to drop~
Resolutions…zero. I cannot hope to accomplish anything I do
not truly want to do. Resolutions is more of a wish list of how I would like to
be. It is not something I necessiarily want to do, but I’d like to see the benefit
nonetheless.
What do I want to happen in 2018?
Blog often. It is a medium for my more trival pursuits of writing
and art and food and everything….It’s public journaling. For example, I would
use this journal entry as one of my blogs. It’s a place ot post my art. It is
anonymous communication

Toxic pudding.
No, not the name of a underground punk rock band.
A cute name for fuckign up the bathroom. I had turned on the
heater in My bathroom, the jack and jill between the guest room and
office. Its been said that all you need
are comfortable shoes and a warm place to shit.
Also, I couldn’t impose on ML’s bathroom, I made the mistake
of neglecting to put the seat downa dn now that we each hove our own shitter,
she has come to expect the deat down when she delivers her payload. I had been
usidng her place beacause of Mo sleeping
over, only the dogs wante dot go ut and I had
to pee immediately and I got in a fus and went downstairs without
putting down the seat. I usually but down the lid and seat because it’s the correct
thing to do. Funny, women never piss on the lid, so I’m thinking they might
look before they sit after all.
Enough about bathroom habits.
Took the dogs out again for a minute, not much more. It is
literally freezing out ther. NO snow or much in the ay of ice, but it is
bitterly cold. W wnt to go for a walk. Hell, he suggested tennis before H
ethought about it. Tennis? A walk, maybe, if we put on enough layers and don’t
go too far. He is making resolutions and exercise and a stric no soda policy ar
at the top of his list.
Things I want in 2018:
Blog often.
Take vitamins.
Exercise.
Good grooming i.e. keeping up with personal hygine and
looking presentable.
(yes, I’m personalizing the fifteen habits of
productive/successful people)
Cut eh carbs and sugar…eat fruit and protein..and veggies.
Eat more veggies.
Honestlyi, I could nibble through the day and just eat one
proper meal at night.
Be honest.
Don’t procrastinate.
Keep a to-do list…which means reviewing it often. Constantly,
even.
Use the 25 min focusing on task followed by a short five
minute break. Chip away at those really big tasks half an hour at a time.
Throw out old stuff, buy new stupp that makes life easier. I
have so many things already, it is time
to use them or loose them,…either way get
them moving out of my life.
Transition from cigs to pipe, smoke responsibly.
Live in the present AMAP…as much as possible.
Let other people alone, don’t think twice about what anyone
else does, think twice before doing anything. Wait for the best answer.
Smile.
Realize you can’t do everything every day…being productive
is doing something as often as you can to the best of your ability.

self-help expert. I

I guess I need to reviw my list. I’m memorizing analytical
tests now. Best review before it become ….before I for….while it is still fresh
in myi mind.
Enough. I will need to make breakfast for the group
soon..Group, being Me and ML and our boys. Some might be saddened by having
nothing to do but hang out with the family. I love my family. I enloy their
company. I see it the we are blessed, blessed to the max, to have each other to
spend thimes like this with. Big parties? I am sure the weather kept more
people in than usual. We would of gone up for some pints of ber at Dr. Jeckyls
if it hadn’t of froze up. But we were keeping it close to the house. We played
a couple of board games. No bing drinking. Light meal. Ribs and black eye peas
with fixin’s. MLO was the first to go to bed. She had been juggleing emergency
ac…calls all night. We three saw the east coast ball drop. Sat with MO, W went
to his lair to play WOW, visiting until just before midnight here. I saw
midnight in bed, by four minutes. Hapy new year. Snore fart.
Okay…on to something else…maybe work on blogs
One of my instruments looking like a boss in black and white...
Here's the situation, I've completed the minimum requirements for a blog. I need to go on to the next one. I'll edit the remaining pictures....or not. I'll make them larger during editing, my breadcrumbs to know where to start when/if I come back to it.
