It was her "there is no future" and "the past is meaningless" talk that led me there. I just pictured Charlie Brown saying it. Then Linus showed up with his "live in the moment" speech. And all was right with the world. :)
This is good news! Not the apocalypse, that will likely suck. But at least we’ll have jobs in the post apocalyptic future, assuming we’re not running from giant glowing mutant rats.
I can relax now. All the important things that are going to happen, with or without me, are on this list and I don't have to think about it anymore. I'll just practice living in the present and let myself be surprised.
It made me sad and also made me smile and laugh that you are in LA and I am in NYC and we are absolutely facing the exact same future in 2023, because this is what life is now.
A neighbor who is from East Africa shared some ugali recently. It was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. This is the very first time kale actually tasted great and I doubt rubbing it out was required. Look up a recipe and try it. If you like it, send me a used NFT. I just looked it up cause I just ate it, didn;t make it. Turns out the ugali is the part I did not eat. This looks close to what I thought was actually good kale (usually an oxymoron) https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/kenyan-style-kale-and-tomatoes
I haven’t seen the doc. I’d say it’s on my list, but based on my predictions for this year, that’s not exactly a meaningful commitment to see it. On the other hand, Ethan Hawke! I need to make this happen.
honestly, you dont have to even commit to the whole series - the best part is the first episode where you get to see the creative process of EH deciding to make it . He's like a lil kid on xmas its really awesome to watch
Alway good to know you have your finger on the pulse of the future. I’ll bet you can even predict it will snow soon in Ohio. Thanks for brightening my day Micheal.
#24 Tic Tok will be banned in the U.S. 3 million Tic Tok'ers will migrate south to Mexico or north to Canada. In the vacuum left behind, Youtube Shorts will flop and people will order basic cable in record numbers.
Haha, I'm skeptical that a ban will actually happen, if only because there's so much money on the line and I never bet against money. But I think you might be on to something if there ever is a TikTok ban... basic cable could make a comeback!
My 2023 bingo card is almost full!
I predict all of your predictions will come to pass.
And I have a suspicion that your yoga teacher is Charlie Brown.
I hope you’re right about my predictions. And I wish you were right about my yoga teacher. But she’s not an iconic cartoon, I swear!

Haha! If she tells us to get into kicking football pose, I’ll let you know.
When civilization falls, and buildings crumble, and our bones turn to ash, only e-mail will remain.

You should watch Wednesday. I haven’t watched it yet, but somebody told me it’s really good so I’m going to watch it. Any minute now.
Someone recently told me to watch Wednesday too! I told them it’s on my list.
Ah yes, "the list". Where The Wire lives in perpetuity.
Lol, wow. So I’m not the only one. I’ve watched like three episodes and then just kinda forgot about it, I guess?
I think I got 15 minutes in, and the lighting and the set design. Nope, couldn’t do it LOL
Yeah, totally. It just feels dated, when I was hoping it would feel more timeless.
I find this entire thread unacceptable.
Been promising people I’ll watch the Wire soon for like a decade😁
That, Oz and maybe Dexter. There is not much else on the list.
Oz -- yes! The OG "gritty" premier TV show. The stuff they did on that show remains outrageous.
Truly a masterpiece. I’ve watched the whole series at least 3 times.
What if you have a resolution to not watch stuff on Wednesday?
I think Bev is talking about the Netflix show called Wednesday. It’s an Adam’s Family reboot.
I know...bad attempt at humor
Not a bad attempt at all! Netflix has created some real confusion with this title😁😁😁
I tried to find it on IMDb and that was a fiasco.
Haha! I’ll bet!
I'm that one friend who returned to eating refined sugar
Good luck with that!
I can relax now. All the important things that are going to happen, with or without me, are on this list and I don't have to think about it anymore. I'll just practice living in the present and let myself be surprised.
So fun to read this, Michael!
Thank you! I’m glad this one out you at ease.
Happy New Year Michael...the search for the perfect taco or the perfect yoga pose seems worthwhile I guess.
Happy new year, Mark!

So where is this pile of donuts?
In your neck of the woods, there’s a donut cart at every corner. In my neck of the woods, the donuts are sold in strip malls.
Hey Michael, unrelated but do you want my used NFT? I don't use it anymore
YES! Please stand by. I will transfer one trillion Schrute Bucks to your wallet.
Holly molly Michael that is worth 5 billion extra minutes of lunch break thank you 🖤
Don't spend it all in one place!
You will have to listen to several podcasts to find all the things I am an internet expert on!
haha! how many podcasts are we talking about?
You are clearly right about everything. Except the kale.
Haha! Have you tried massaging kale? Sounds silly, but it changes the flavor, I swear.

Looks good to me! Your used NFT is in the mail!
speaking of E-Hawke, u seen his doc about paul newman and joanne woodward??
I haven’t seen the doc. I’d say it’s on my list, but based on my predictions for this year, that’s not exactly a meaningful commitment to see it. On the other hand, Ethan Hawke! I need to make this happen.

If I can get to the first episode, I will commit to the whole series because that’s how I roll. I’m gonna try and make this happen. #2023 goals!
But what movie did you and Christina end up seeing?!?
We saw Babylon, and regretted all 3 hours of it.
Okay good, I will cross that off my "To Watch" list. (It was never on my To Watch list.)
We really wanted to like it, but it seemed to work very hard at making us dislike it.
Good to see I’m not the only one who uses the “picking up / putting down” line.
You are not alone.
Alway good to know you have your finger on the pulse of the future. I’ll bet you can even predict it will snow soon in Ohio. Thanks for brightening my day Micheal.
I’m predicting several inches of snow for Ohio sometime this year.
