Not dying. Seems to be going pretty well.

After that I had a $9 airport chicken wrap. Would not recommend.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

Tried making beer from a sorta cheapo homebrew kit. Didn't produce all that much beer, but it wasn't half bad.

I tried playing violin. It didn't sound very good. I also tried speaking in only English. That didn't work at all.

A Traditional Latin Catholic Mass. Like literally this morning.

That was the song that got me started too.

Tried brie recently. It is absolutely disgusting.

I also recently tried waxing. I let my wife and friend wax my browline and back. The pain is greatly exaggerated.

Having a glass of coconut water every day, in the mornings, followed by 2 glasses of room temperature lemon water. To start the day. My skin has never felt more hydrated and soft.

Duolingo has added High Valyrian to its languages so I'm trying that. I'm sure it will be of use one day in highly dramatic circumstances.

I just gave Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu a shot. I'm finding it surprisingly adorable and am looking forward to facing Brock with the Bulbasaur I caught in Viridian Forest.

Beef jerky. They taste alright: a little bit of spice, but meh. Not sure if I'll have that again, though.

Played Texas Hold'em with some Afghans. Kept getting flushes and winning. Too bad no real cash was involved.
