. . . had the "🔥 b u r n i n g 🔥" desire to change every single one on my passwords, more as an attempt to organize/consider all the sites/platforms I am/will be using in the new year to make and post things but then I my fingers couldn't start the task … I think they knew it was a dumb brain idea and they were like, "use us to make something RIGHT NOW instead of this shitty chore which will take hours, dumb-dumb brain-haver." … And I was like whoa fingers, don't be so harsh, but I know they are right . . .

I'm abandoning my free yahoo fantasy basketball team. I'm so sorry. It's just a distraction I don't need in 2017. My apologies to the other managers in Yahoo Public 124459 and of course, my squad: Dennis Schroder, Bradley Beal , Jordan Clarkson, Paul George, Clint Capela, Julius Randle, DeMarcus Cousins, Joel Embiid, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Rudy Gobert, Kyle Korver, Kevin Love and Emmanuel Mudiay.
y'all forever in my heart ✌-jeff

Because it's important for me to have different user names on every platform (god help me), I've gone ahead and updated my fb page deets (user = Arar Bolera | fb page = Livesthetic). Unfortunately I can't seem to go live with either of these accounts and I have no idea 😡 Oh well, not gonna worry about it anymore today. I also have a new snapchat handle, microepmaker, which is meaningful because the only thing I use that for is to make my 'micro-EPs'––fitting, eh?
This bland Bill Simmons 'top cultural moments' list kinda speaks to his fairly sudden and unmistakable irrelevance.

this is a face I saw inside this instagram / I don't know what the point of anything is / I hope this guy's foot doesn't fall off
The 700+MB of the Garageband app is just too big, I'm sorry!
UPDATE: *ALSO* the inability to save an audio file to the iTunes/Music app inside your phone from the GB app is pretty ridiculous. You have to be connected to a computer to transfer file off your phone just so you can then drag it back onto your phone for use inside the Music app. (I am trying to create soundtracks to use for the Splice video editing app and this is a major roadblock.)

In 2017, I am going to [attempt to?] make daily videos, which will eventually be featured on lifecast.info, via my phone using the app Splice. I will take, edit and upload the videos at the end of the day using nothing but my phone, my hands, my brain and the internet. This is part of a greater realization/challenge that computers are becoming obsolete and we will soon be literally doing everything we do on computers exclusively on our phones. The biggest roadblock here is of course the iPhone storage issues, which I feel like I've complained about ad nauseam.
I'm in charge of my company's (day job y'all) Twitter account and there are certainly worse tasks in this world but jesus christ all of the Trump Thoughts™ I need to look at/consider. I've been able to successfully purge all Trump-related news / politics in general from my life, except for two arenas. This Twitter account and the stupid TVs at my gym, half of which are on 24-hour cable news channels which cover Trump roughly 98% of the time. I watch movies at the gym but these TVs are giant, looming in pretty much everyone's sightline (it's a Planet Fitness, if that reference works for you––I believe all of their gyms are set up the same way). My previous gym was $30 more a month but only had individual TVs on each machine. Starting to think the extra $360/year was worth it to save me from this hellacious distraction.
