I lost a LEGO piece... MAYBE...

 I may have lost a LEGO piece, and it's fucking up my mind 6 ways to Sunday...

I've been working for a number of years to build a Pyramid Nightclub.  And I may have lost a 1x1x6 Column, Piece #43888, Bright Yellow that is a support piece for the roof to the entrance to the club.  It's somewhere in my house between the LEGO room (where I keep 95% of my collection) and the living room.  I know it's in the house, because that stuff never leaves my residence once it enters my plastic Thunderdome.  i probably have to tear apart both rooms to see where it is.

But that's not the worst of it.  The worst of it is that is my obsession with trying to figure out where it is.

LEGO doesn't currently have that part in that color in their online store.

The voice in my head doesn't want to let me rest until I find it.

The piece is cheap, only a few cents.  I can easily order a new one and get it in a handful of days.  But that's not the point.

I overthink everything.  I hate leaving things unfinished.  I spent nearly all of April trying to work to clean up my music collection.  I got it done, but it kept my mind awake trying to figure out how I can return to a state similar to how I had it in late May 2019 before moving to California.

Once I complete one major project, I feel the need to move onto the next one. It never ends.

I should seek professional help.  Maybe I will in a few days...

Until then, I will not rest...  Because I can't...

I put the OCD in CD…

Before I moved to California with my wife, I kept a meticulous SQL database of all my legally obtained music…

Before we got our house, I let it fall by the wayside because I didn't have the time or space to work with it…

Over the past several months, I've been picking it back up and returning order to that chaos.  I think I’ve identified everything, so I can load it back into my database.  There were about 7500 songs in it before I left Minnesota, and now I’m around 8650.

I know no one else cares about it, but it is important TO ME.  It's tough when my mind starts getting on my case about the mess that it is, but I think I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now.  I just need to remind myself to be kinder to me…

I also know self-diagnosing myself with OCD is not the same as medical professionals telling some person that they have *ACTUAL* obsessive compulsive disorder.  It's probably something I shouldn't be joking about.  I'm not on the same level as Michael J. Fox's character in the third season of "Scrubs".

Fortunately, I have today off of work, so I can spend my afternoon cleaning up my database of music.  Wish me luck...

Call your loved ones and tell them you love them, because the world is coming to an end…

AGAIN!!!

Moorhead High School in Minnesota REPEATS as state champions at the highest level (AA).

A 5-4 winner over Minnetonka IN DOUBLE OVERTIME.

They had lost in the champion game EIGHT TIMES since 1991, but to win TWO IN A ROW?!??

**WE.  ARE.  BONED.**

I expect the world to explode at any moment…

If Moorhead winning twice in a row isn’t unlocking the seventh seal to hell, I don’t know what is…

If you wanna check out the game-winning gold, here's the link: https://youtu.be/0X2-GukYFMI?si=SIH7DmZdECwE8eKS

Thanks, that was fun

WAS fun...

The 2026 Winter Olympics are over.  And it ended exceptionally well.  For the first time in my lifetime, the United States of America won gold, scoring the game winning goal in overtime over Canada.

It was a great thing to see.  Until some lifesize assholes decided to politicize it.

The head of the FBI, who had no BUSINESSS being there, crashes the celebration in the locker room and helps himself to a beer.

Then the president calls to congratulate the team.  and complains about the women's team, WHO ALSO WON GOLD IN OVERTIME, wanting equal time.  Or any time really...

Never at any point was it about the athletes' accomplishments.  It was about the powers that be, what THEY wanted, what THEY thought THEY deserved...

Worse, some of the men accepted the orange one's invitation to the White House on their way back to play in the NHL.  Some as early as TOMORROW...

The women did not accept their invite, but Flavor Flav has them covered.  He'll hold a celebration with them once their season is done in...  May? (I assume that's when the PWHL is done for the year).  Some of them have to go back to school, as they are still playing in the NCAA.  Their season will be done in a few weeks, but they'll still be working for degrees at their various universities, and (I assume) will not be done until May (as well).

It's no skin off my ass.  I don't watch the NHL.  Haven't since they cancelled the 2004-05 season.  They don't need my money either.

I'd love to be in Vegas when Flav honors the women's team this summer.  Considering how he's celebrated the accomplishments of others, I'd love to see it go down.

If I end up dead after this is published, I'm also posting it on Discord and Tumblr.  Good luck trying to remove it from there...
