Multiple things are afoot. There’s more server updates. There’s more music updates. There’s a live concert excursion. Plus it’s finally cooling down in the temps while heating up in the Politics. Plus some strange shit revolving around my birthday.
Sometimes I read some really weird shit online. A couple of days ago while on a weekend trip with my girlfriend, I came across an article relating to Horoscopes. What caught my eye on this article was the headline. August 12th of 2025 is apparently a turning point for all the zodiac signs!
You might ask yourself: Why did this catch your attention Jody?
I’ll tell ya – it’s my birthday! So sing along with me: Happy birthday to you…
Do I really believe in Horoscope stuff? No.
Despite the fact you might be sick of hearing about the server. There’s another update. One that is fun for me, and probably even noticeable for you. I have the ability to now clone the site and test it away from the front facing one you’re reading this on right now.
Which allows me to test major changes first, then if they work – deploy it for real. Such is the case for something I did last night. Which means you’re getting a noticeably faster experience here now. The speed increased dramatically from 700+ milliseconds to 25 milliseconds. That’s pretty substantial.
Last week a buddy of mine came thru town and had my girlfriend and I out to a show. It was the Rick Springfield I Want My 80s tour. It was 4 old acts from the 80s singing their hits and putting on a show. As the night went on, each act got progressively better. For guys in their 70s I’ll say that John Waite and Rick Springfield are putting on some amazing shows. Compared to most older acts.
It was an added bonus to get to spend some additional time after the show chatting with my buddy and catching up.
Enjoying the fact that days are cooling off. It’s a nice reprieve from the heat. At some point it would be nice to get some rain. On the flip side, we’ve definitely hit maximum crazy with a shift into American dictatorship. That is wholly disappointing. Pure American Mayhem from a dickhead of a president attempting to deflect from his pedophile past.
On a brighter note… Another week and another addition to the Do You Want to Play lineup. This time for the Washington Commanders. Oddly it’s one of the teams I remember rooting for when I was younger and they were called the Redskins.
I have zero issue with the change in the team’s name. I have no Native American friends, or relatives (that’s right, Whitesides is not a Native American name). I haven’t a clue if it was an offensive term for our land’s ancestors. If it was, so much the better for the change.
All I know is, if you’re a fan of the team – play it loud, and share it proud with this version of Do You Want to Play – Washington Commanders! Then make sure to send me that proof. I’ve been known to share it on social media.
