I can not promise you anything will be better tomorrow, 
Because it hasn’t been better in forever.
I can not promise you it will work out, 
because all i can do is try to keep the lights on in my own home. 
I can not promise to fight the enemy, 
because all I see are misguided humans. 
I can not promise that all lives matter 
because we are all tax write offs.
I can not promise you will have allies, 
Because the allies get stoned with those preserving the patriarchy.  
I can not promise you love,
because the people I love wont even talk to me some days, 
I can not promise you the highway will get easier,
Because the construction will always need repairs,
I can not promise my son that he will see the ocean as an old man
Because we spend too much time not even thinking if he will,

I can not promise you much, 
Except I know you are tired. 
Because this life…… this beautiful fucking thing we call life….
Takes every ounce of hope we have left. 
To just see tomorrow. 

But I can promise you this, I hope each one of you do.

Simply older, less desirable.
If i could have given a fuck twenty years earlier ,
to prevent this malaise, 
cinder on your brown locks, 

I pass the time in whiskey and monograms.
I write my name into the ether, but do you reconginze 
any last bit of it?
its a folly, a fallacy to think any of us matter. 

More than a whisper, more than a passing star turn,
what little joy, I killed twenty years prior,
but somehow we just trudge on,
burdened with life, burdened with nostalgia.

a simple conversation, 
if only the ears listened,
and twenty year later,
You define every moment on one distraction,

cold hands, but i want the touch, 
cold hearts, but its all we have left,
cold demons, warmed by liquids, 

and we ask for more, more, more.
eternally yours, to the silent starless night,

a step forward, painful and lonely as it is,
a step forward because my feet cant move back,

getting older, there is only one direction left.

Two more sleeps until the NC State Championship for pinball in Charlotte. Last year 4367 players (700 unique) players competed in
265 pinball tournaments across the state.
I feel fortunate to be the 6th seed and even more so to have 9 of my Asheville crew also competing there this weekend.

I have no expectations going in other then being excited about earning my participation spot. I get the winner of Liam Bradley , an amazing ten year old player who is quickly making a name for himself or my good friend Brian Tavener (one of the ogs of #avl while Tony Evans was running things here.) I’m fine taking a loss to either of them although I hope to not make it easy. End of day my worst case scenario is top 16 in our state for the year. Unthinkable a year ago.

Can’t wait to cheer everyone on, see some amazing talent do their thing, and just have fun.

And if you’ve ever thought pinball looks like fun but I don’t know where to start, or I’m not very good, reach out, I’ll point you to a local event, or local organizer. I guarantee you’ll have fun, make friends from all walks of life, and maybe if your skill and luck get good enough, you’ll see your name in lights.

So switching the podcast from Action Figure Hype to One Cool Thing. So much more that I want to share and help get the word out about. And so much toy coverage is better then I can do myself.
So One Cool Thing is revived as a podcast and I hope to find the coolest artists, musics, expereinces, and yes even toys to share with you from time to time. Thanks for listening.
