Allergy SZN

I am allergic to freshly cut grass. And some other things… but I can’t avoid grass like I can avoid a Black-Eyed Susan.

As I am sitting here typing this, I can hear a lawnmower somewhere close to my house and soon I will start to sneeze and cough because I refuse to close my window on a nice 52-degree day. It is incredibly inconvenient for me normally, but now people will think my stupid allergy is going to kill them.

I don’t leave my house often… if I do it is for a walk around the neighborhood, I use a mask to cover my face and am fairly good at avoiding people. If I do see another human, I make sure I stay more than 6-10 feet away from them. Now, I can only imagine me walking by a house where someone decided to break out the lawnmower to break up the monotony of their day stuck inside and then will just give me the death glare as I start to hack up a lung and sneezing my brain out. It’s not my fault the pandemic decided to happen during springtime when nature decides to come back to life!!! I can’t control my allergies!!! I mean, I could take over the counter allergy meds but I have tried them in the past and they don’t really help so like why even try again?

(I do hope that we can develop a vaccine or something for COVID-19 and that the world can get back to some sense of normalcy soon. But we know it is the main issue plaguing the world so it is not insensitive to shed some light on the other minor struggles of society.)

So, to all those people out there with major spring allergies, I feel for you. It sucks normally but now is just a bit more a lot more exacerbated than a normal spring. We will get through this allergy sufferers! Don’t let allergy sneeze shaming keep you from sitting on your balcony or taking that properly socially distanced walk in your neighborhood. ✌

No Phone Case, No Problem

I took my phone out of its case so I could clean the case and my god do I love a naked iPhone. I just don't want to put it back in the case. I know I probably should put it back in the case so I don't get a cracked screen... but then I remember I once dropped my case-less iPhone down a concrete flight of stairs (like the kind of massive concrete staircases in major sports arenas) and it was like nothing happened. Not a dam scratch on that thing! So for now at least, I'm gonna live on the edge! No case! Knowing full well that I will put the case back on the second I drop my phone on my nose because I don't have a good grip on it without using a popsocket.. and the popsocket is on my case... ✌

Let's Start a Massive Construction Project Whilst People are Trapped Inside

It’s really fucking hard to focus when the city you live in decides it’s time to do construction on your street. Constantly there’s buzzing and grinding and loud noises and the other sounds of construction that just never stop. (Ok they do stop but that’s like after 5pm so it doesn’t count.)   Don’t get me wrong, my road needs a good repaving so that it doesn’t feel like I’m going to bottom out my car each and every time I choose to leave my driveway, but to choose to start the construction whilst everyone, except for the construction people who are apparently essential, is stuck inside their homes is just crazy to me.   Like I guess for those constantly on zoom calls there’s a lot of people going “oh sorry about the background noise, they are just digging up the old sidewalk and putting down fresh new concrete.” For me, it’s a, “GAHHHHH I CAN’T FUCKING THINK LET ALONE STUDY FOR THE NYLE RIGHT NOW!!” And since I live alone, I am either talking to myself or to the houseplants I...

Growing the Game with an Olympic Sized Platform

“We want to grow the game and expand to new markets.”   This is a simple sentiment shared between two major professional sports leagues in the US: Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League. Another common thread between these leagues is not allowing their respective athletes play for their home countries in the Olympics. Completely putting aside the monetary implications of a mid-season two-week shutdown, not allowing their athletes to play on truly the world stage is the exact opposite of trying to grow the game and expanding to new markets.   Let’s rewind all the way back to 1986 for a minute. The International Olympic Committee had eased already eased up on “amateurism” and pulled the trigger on allowing true professional athletes to compete in the Olympics. This decision paved the way for Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and the rest of The Dream Team to compete in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. Yes, at the time Michael Jordan was...
