My passion for design is waning, especially with all the chaos going on right now in America. Design doesn’t seem to matter anymore. These essays, edited by Liz Stinson and Jarrett Fuller, are informative, but I just can’t think about design anymore. Don’t give me wrong. I am not burning out. I can still whip up a website or print material without even thinking. Nevertheless, I enjoyed a few essays from the collection.

We stayed silent and we scrubbed all diversity pages. Glad to hear students speaking out.

Trong những tháng ngày sắp tới không biết công ăn việc làm sẽ ra sao. Vợ làm chính phủ đang bàng hoàng. Tôi làm trường Đại học của tiểu bang rồi cũng sẽ bị ảnh hưởng.

Tôi bàn với vợ từ đây đến 2028, chúng ta nên hạn chế mọi chi phí có thể hạn chế. Chẳng hạn như không đi nhà hàng nữa. Không sắm đồ đạc nữa. Mấy tháng nay đang có ý định mua xe mới vì chiếc xe cũ đã chạy hơn 200,000 dặm nhưng thôi. Chạy xe củ tiếp cho đến khi nào không còn chạy được nữa.

Nghỉ mát hay nghỉ hè gì cũng cắt đi bớt. Cũng may là mùa đông đi trượt tuyết không tốn kém như xưa nữa nên vẫn có thể giữ lại được. Chỉ phải bỏ ra hai ngày cuối tuần đi dạy thôi. Đi trượt tuyết có lợi không chỉ cho cơ thể mà luôn cả đầu óc. Từ lúc đi trượt tuyết tôi không còn bị căng thẳng nữa nên khỏi phải đi trị liệu tâm lý đỡ tốn tiền therapy.

Bàn thì mình tôi bàn thôi. Vợ không lên tiếng gì cả mà chỉ phán một câu, “Dĩ nhiên anh đâu muốn đi đâu ngoài đi trượt tuyết”.

I am an old head who knows nothing about Tate McRae. I came across her new release So Close to What. Although her pronunciation is hard to follow, she has a decent voice and he productions are banging. On the first track, “Miss Possessive,” she drops the first f-bomb, “I know what you are, tryin’ so hard / Runnin’ ’round tryna fuck a star, go.” On the first track, she drops another f-bomb, “You ain’t gonna win with the jewelry / Don’t need the cute fuckin’ names (No).” On the third track, she drops more f-bombs, “Fuck me good, fuck me up, thеn I gotta move towns / How’d I get from your gym to your couch? Oh, how?” Of course, the forth track, “bloodonmmyhands,” featuring Flo Milli, she drops more f-bombs, “Oh baby boy, you’re seein’ stars / And it fucks you up so hard.” I sweared I heard her singing “pussy star” instead of “you’re seein’ stars.” Thank goodness that she didn’t drop any f-bomb on “Dear God.” That would have been pretty controversial.

Despite the warm weather, the conditions at Liberty were still decent. I was able to snowboard on the double-black terrains and blue trails. I wanted to open my body more and go low for carving. I also tried to keep my body in the front. I would like to get better at carving on snowboard before the season is over. The clock is running out. There’s only 3 weekends left. I am going to miss it.

Let’s keep it real. The Republican Party is gone. Trump has captured and seized every GOP leaders. They no longer work for the American people. They work for Trump. Even the Supreme Court is on Trump’s side. The conservative Justices will go along with him.

The Democratic Party is so weak right now. They can’t do much. We need to get them back in Congress to balance out the power. I hope there is still a chance to restore our democracy. Nothing will matter if we lose our democracy.

Trump is expanding his power. He is already stepping over Congress. He is hinting at a third term. He already refers to himself as a king. He needs to be stopped.

After the election, I wanted to remove myself from politics, but I just can’t sit back and watch our democracy dying in front of my eyes. I don’t have any power. All I have is a voice on this blog. This is the place where I can speak my mind.

The Ukraine wounded soldiers are returning to fight for their country. They put their lives on the line again to fight for democracy and freedom. Meanwhile, the US voted to demolish our democracy and to be controlled by an authoritarian. How fucking moronic is that?

We made a commitment scrub anything related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Every time my wife informed me, “The exhaust fan in the bathroom is not working,” I got stressed out a little. Why did the fan stop working again? I changed the new switch. I sealed the cover to keep moisture from getting into the electrical box.

I searched up YouTube and one of the suggestions was checking the loose wires. I removed the fan and checked the house box. Both the ground and the negative wires were completely out of the wire nuts. Nevertheless the fan kept working on and off for months.

I replaced the wire nuts and made sure the wires were tightly and securely connected. It was such a dumb mistake that only someone who had no confidence in fixing things around the house could make.

I am glad I found the issue and fixed it before I called an electrician.

I woke up early today and headed to Whitetail to participate in the ski clinic. Sam was such a good trainer. I learned a lot from him. I wished he would teach carving.

After the clinic, I switched to my snowboard boots. I signed up for the City Kids who were from DC. I didn’t realize it was from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. It was so long. We weren’t teaching. We were more like just keeping an eye on them.

By 3:30 pm, I was exhausted. The sun was shining and the heat made me sleepy. I didn’t get much sleep last night. I wanted to do a few runs, but I decided to just head back home.

Whitetail will be closed on March 16. That means we only have three weeks left for the season. It’s coming to an end too soon.
