OK, 2016, we get it. You may now kindly fuck all the way off.

My downstairs neighbor/landlady Trish just died all of a sudden today, cementing in case it wasn't cemented enough, that we really have no control over shit and we can pretend all we want, but when it comes down to it, sometimes you just fucking die and that's it.

So, whatever you were waiting to do, don't.
Be kind
Smile at strangers
Give away your change to the folks on the street, or buy them a coffee if they want
Give cookies to kids, every single time.
