Before I met Amber I never expected to get married again. No joke, I really thought I’d just solo the rest of my life or just at most have a “life partner” that’s close but I’m not legally attached to, because it was a terrifying thought to be legally attached to pretty much anyone.

Then I met Amber, and she’s my life partner. She’s it. She’s my ride or die, and now she’s my wife.

I love you, my wife. More! ❤️

We’re back from Hawaii and I have successfully knocked out a whole ass work day. It was really “touch and go” there for a minute, but I struggled through the typical Monday fog and banged out the whole list of tasks the customer needed done. I guess I also receieved some praise while we were gone. All in all not the worst day ever. Maybe not the easiest, but not the worst by far.

I’ve been daily driving CachyOS for a couple weeks now and I have to say that I fucking love it. KDE Plasma is a decent enough WM. The only thing that annoys me is that most of the terminal emulators suck balls. Alacritty just condescends to the user by saying “you don’t deserve ligatures because no one has written a good implementation yet”. Pretty much all of the other ones are just vibecoded nonsense or are buggy as fuck. If anyone has a decent recommendation for a terminal emulator, I’m definitely taking suggestions.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY WIFE! WE’RE GOING TO HAWAII, FUCK YEAH.

So I have a couple extra laptops laying around and I’ve decided to give CachyOS a spin. Excellent fucking distro, I have to say. I’ve never really consistently run Arch at all outside of my Steamdeck, but CachyOS has been goddamned excellent. I fucking love it. The BORE scheduler makes this thirteen year old hardware feel like it was made yesterday, not yesteryear. The hardware support is excellent. I haven’t yet found any instances of software or packages that I can’t obtain easily with either pacman or paru.

I’ve been going pretty “full bore” at work for a while now. It’s been pretty lucrative. The company is making money hand over fist with my efforts. It feels pretty cool to be an important part of the company and all, but it’s starting to wear me down. I’ve been spending a lot of time in some of the worst places for my asthma. The air is so thick with oil that you can choke on it if you breathe too deeply. I’ve been putting in applications to get out of the automotive group and I’ve had interviews, but nothing has materialized yet.

Elon Musk is a piece of shit. He’s not very intelligent, but he’s at least smart enough to lean on more intelligent people when it comes to gambling with his money. That’s not prowess, that’s not special, that’s not cunning; it’s just privilege. That’s all his wealth has always boiled down to. He has had innate privilege from birth onward, and the only way he could’ve failed was to be an even bigger moron than he actually is. But he would have you believing that’s actually one of the most clever business men. He’s also delusional.

I like having a personal blog to write about whatever is on my mind. I like to write about the past, the present, the future, and literally anything on my mind. It feels therapeutic, but it also helps me make sense of my feelings and how I have become the person I am. I also like documenting nerd shit once in a while, albeit very rarely these days. I need to write more often, honestly. Whether it’s technical or just stream of consciousness, I need to make more time to write.
