New Diet
I tried the Keto diet. Didn't work.
I'm on the Speedo diet. I can eat anything I want, as long as I can squeeze into my Speedo.
There aren't many options. Styrofoam packing. Saliva. Huge gulps of air.
Or you know those performance artists guys who eat 6 pounds of metal, one little bit at a time? That's an option.
It works.

Taking My Meds
As I age like a prized side of beef, it's important that I take my daily meds.
The question is…what do I mean by "meds".
There's two choices, at my age.
Medication
or
Meditation.
To medicate or meditate.
They can be easily confused. Both require me to hold still and focus on something. In the case of meditation, it's a sandy beach with Charlize Theron in a "therong". For medication, it's the wonderful feeling of pills distorting my sense of reality.
I have trouble swallowing the benefits of meditation. It's iffy, subjective, and boring. Don't ask me to close my eyes unless you want me to go to sleep.
Pills I can easily swallow.
They're wearing off. Gotta go.

Ice Storm 2013
Lots of people are remembering the Christmas ice storm of 2013.
What a crazy time that was. Many compared it to a war zone.
It kinda was. Well, except for the dead bodies, land mines, tanks and artillery, disease, starving children, destroyed buildings, the smell of death hanging in the air.
But there were a ton of tree branches down. One doesn't forget that kind of stuff easily.

God and Jesus
It's Christmastime and that means I think a lot about…Jesus.
I wonder how He celebrates the holidays. Does He watch himself in The Little Drummer Boy? That's my favourite religious movie, mostly because I've always wished I could play the drums. If Jesus were a decent guy He would give the drummer boy a full spread of drums, instead of that rusty tin thing He picked up at a garage sale.
I suspect He avoids God during these times because He's afraid God will find some other place to lock him up in other than a cave. "Hey Jesus, I want you to sleep in this Smart car for 3 days. While we're at it let's put Noah and all the animals in there too."
"Ya, it's to save humanity again. Global warming and all that shit."
"What? Sure I could save them, but what fun is that? Infinity gets boring after the first 10 trillion years. Wanna play Jenga with the African continent?"
I like to think I'm smarter than your average religion, but have you noticed how I capitalize He when I'm talking about God and Jesus? Habit? Or I'm afraid They observe grammatical tradition very closely here on earth.
Recently I heard a priest say that you don't have to be religious to have faith. That's true, but not the problem we have in this world. The problem is you don't have to have faith to behave religiously.

Swiftian Nightmare
Are we in trouble when we are asking Taylor Swift her opinion on Donald Trump? And it gets published?
I think we are.
I mean, Trump isn't one of her ex-boyfriends, so what does she care?

Santa Claus Isn't Coming to Town for Me
Santa wrote me.
Dear Paul:
You do realize the words to the song are as follows,
He sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
I've never known you to be awake. You have to wake up sometimes if you want gifts.
Quit the napping.
Santa.

Favourite Christmas Carol
Being so Christmassy, I often get the question, "Hey, Father Christmas, what's your favourite carol?"
It's true. I am a father. And I love mistletoe. More than camel toe. I wear it just above my ass so people can kiss it. I make a list, throw it in the fire, and check it twice to make sure it burned.
Some people think this bah humbug act is an act. It is. It's also typecasting.
So what do I listen to while I'm throwing old Christmas tree needles at the elderly and getting hammered on Jager?
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fuck This. Trust me. It will put you in the mood. Or a mood.
Give it a listen.

Peloton of Trouble
Hey, a shout out to all those people hurt by the Peloton ad.
I'd like to offer some words of comfort.
You need to drink more fucking alcohol.
You need to skip the tv commercials, like everyone else does.
Use the fucking mute button.
Pull that exercise bike from out of your ass and put your ass on the bike. Try losing 2 pounds. It's fucking hard.
All those years I wasn't able to fit into my fucking two-piece bathing suit. I got over it.
My wife watch the ad, and do you know what she did after?
She went on with her fucking life.
You want to be offended? Read this fucking blog.
Oh, and Happy Holidays. Hope you get everything you wish for.
