Today will be a good day. It’s the first day of the rest of our lives, so make it good. I’ll try to keep it light.

Good goat times today. A lovely, sunny morning. Though the air felt cold against my skin. But dry and sunny is what we want. Fair bit of goat wrangling today again. When I got there Mia and Mio were chained up outside the pen. Work is still being done to the fences. They’d gotten their chains a bit tangled up and grandma was in a growly mood, banging heads with poor Mia. There was grass where they were standing, but not really that good quality. So I figured I’d take them down to the alt pen. I went and got A38, who was just chilling inside. Took them all down to the other pen. Unfortunately I found that I couldn’t get the padlock unlocked with my old key. Oh well. Tied the goats down outside the pen and spent some time like that. With bemused bypasser and of course the requisite “is she pregnant? …no really, is she?” question. Eventually Alice came. She told me that they hadn’t changed the lock for then pen. When I tried it again… it worked. It’s just a very stubborn lock. But I got it opened and took the goats in there. As I’ve said, the only problem with that pen is that Mia can easily jump the fence. That’s not a problem when I’m there, because then she doesn’t want to get out. And even if she did I could get her back in. The problem is when I’m not there. Finbarr came by and mentioned they’d had a complaint the other day about a goat walking free. Haha. Oh Mia. Why is the grass always greener on the side of the fence where you aren’t supposed to be?
They’ll probably be spending more time in that pen, though. Alice told me that they had discovered that the fences around the horse pasture weren’t just stuck in the ground. They were stuck in concrete and stuck in the ground. Which mean they can’t just pull them up for the work they’re doing. They have to have a digging machine thing to come by and dig it all up. so it’s going to take a bit longer. But hopefully it’ll be good when it’s all done, with new, good fences and a new goat stable and who knows what else. We just have to get through the wait and the mud.
It was really nice today actually. Once all the goats were in the pen (A38 made her escape once when I was getting Mia and Mio in. She can run when she wants to!). I sat back against the fence. The sun shining down on me from a blue sky. The temperaturre risen to a point where I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin instead of cold air. The goats walking back and forth in the undergrowth. I could almost imagine it was summer again and everything was as it should be.
Until I had to leave of course. What do you do about a problem like Mia? I had to tie her up in the pen. I hate doing that. Mio and A38 can’t jump the fences. One is too heavy and the other is too small and well behaved. So I let them go free and tied Mia down. Problem is that there are so many trees in the alt pen. There is literally no place I can put the spike down in the ground and have enough space around her to avoid her getting the rope tangled up in the trees. Which means 10 minutes after I’ve gone she could be stuck in place, tangled up in a tree. Not fun, and potentially dangerous with the horses. She had a couple of close encounters with Black Beauty already, could be a problem if she couldn’t move away. so I ended up tying her leash to the fence. Which means she was standing right next to the fence of course. I was hoping that she wouldn’t have enough room to get a running start and jump over the fence. But even if she jumped over she’d still be tied to the fence so she wouldn’t be able to just run off and cause complaints from the neighbours again. So I left her like that. The minute I went out of sight she started bleating in a panic. And bleating and bleating. And as I walked away, suddenly her bleats sounded like her mouth was full. I went back to look. And she’d jumped the fence. Oh Mia. You couldn’t wait 30 seconds. She was still bleating after me because I was gone but she was simultaneously eating leaves on the bushes she now had access to. No reason to stop eating even if you’re panicking! Haha. Well. In the end I decided the best solution was to keep her tied up outside the pen. I don’t like doing that, but at least like that she has plenty of fresh vegetation. The horses can’t bother her. She can’t cause trouble. It’s not ideal. But I guess it’ll work. At least she’ll have a lot to snack on when she calms down after I’m gone.
Oh goats. I wish I could fast forward to springtime when it’ll be sunny and dry and warm and there’ll be no mood and presumably there will be new fences and a new goat stable and who knows what else. The end.

‘m sorry if I’m all over the place these days. I am quite unstable. Still adjusting to the readjusted meds adjustment. Not going so well yet. And it’s just. The Vegas thing. The politics. The mud. The submarine. The family stuff. It’s all been adding up. And there’s something else too, but I don’t want to talk about that yet. The cold makes me sad. When I wake up in the morning now it’s so dark that I can’t see the “TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!” wall sticker that Joan sent me. Feels like things have been piling up. But I’m doing my best. I am only human after all, allegedly. Thanks all for sticking with me. Keep leaving those pizza crumbs to lead me back to the good place.
And now, bedtime. I’m so tired that my head hurts and I feel like throwing up. I’m going to go dream my problems away, because that always works. Here’s to love and peace on Earth. Either one would be nice.

Hey people. Do you like goats? Do you enjoy calendars? Do you like movies about gladiators? Can you correctly identify different kinds of trees from quite a long way away? If you can answer yes, no or maybe to any of these questions then listen up.
Many of you know Jessica Pottebaum and her wonderful goats. She’s selling a calendar and I’d like to support her and to make some people happy. So if you want one of her calendars FOR FREE then leave a comment on this post. The first 4 to do so will get a calendar paid for by me.

Good goat times today. The weather was a mixed bunch. Pretty sunny while I walked there. But later on it was a mix of sun, rain and sometimes very strong wind. So it goes. I took the goats down to the alt pen. It’s getting muddy down there too now, but it’s still way better than the regular pen. Of course I had to do some goat wrangling along the way. Today A38 was the troublemaker, believe it or not. I decided to let her run free while I got the great whites down to the other pen. Thinking it would be no problem. Then when I went to get her, I couldn’t find her anywhere. I went around looking for her thinking “I HAVE LOST YOGI”. Then I went back down to the alt pen to check and there she was casually eating greens across the path. Sheesh. Later on she slipped out of the pen because I hadn’t closed the gate properly. And when Mio saw that she ran right after her. I managed to shut the gate just before Mia got out too. Then I had to tie her up while I went and got the two others back because otherwise she’d have jumped the fence to follow. Nothing but trouble those goats. Maybe I should become a scruffy looking hamster herder instead.
Yeah, things are a little messy right now. I think it will be a couple of weeks before the fence construction is done. Maybe more. We’ll just have to get trough it. If we stick together I think we might make it. I’ll get the superglue.

I’m glad I made it out to see the goats today. I almost didn’t. I was in bed and decided to stay in bed. Because getting out of bed is a human rights violation. But then I reconsidered and decided I should force myself to go. And then I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it was so late in the day that it was pretty much pointless getting up and that I should go. BUT. Then I realised I was dreaming. And I looked at my ACTUAL alarm clock. And it was still fairly early in the morning. Yes. My dream tried to trick me into staying in bed. Tricksy dreamsies. So I did manage to force myself up and out and away, and I’m glad I did. I just thought it was funny. I feel like my dreams are getting even stronger. A couple of times lately I have experienced that thing when you’re in a dream and you realise it’s a dream. That’s when the dream usually becomes some degree of lucid. But recently instead of becoming aware it’s a dream, the dream has convinced me that I’m awake. Even when I ‘test’ the dream it doesn’t buckle. I have mentioned it before, but another thing is how I used to not be able to read text in dreams. It would be gibberish. But now I can read text. It makes sense. And even further, the other day there was a kind of.. visual puzzle. I forget the exact details, but it was on a blackboard in school. And it was like one of those things with lots of seemingly random letters and you have spot the words in them. Only this was some kind of mathematical equation. And I was able to look at it and pick out the patterne and understand it. So I feel like my dream muscle is still getting stronger and stronger. Who knows. Some day I may be able to completely withdraw into a dream and never come out again.
Or maybe that has already happened. Maybe this is the dream. Hmm. I wonder if I can write in dreams. I can’t recall it ever happening. I would need a pretty darn strong dream muscle to be able to write all this rambling nonsense.
The thing that almost made me aware it was a dream last night was looking out the window and seeing thick frost everywhere. Having to wipe it away to even close the window. And a couple of nights ago I dreamt that it had snowed, even though it was summer in the dream. I hope those aren’t bad omens. The actual weather forecast seems promising. Shouldn’t be any frost here yet.
So anyway, I write many word

Time to head to dreamland again. I can’t stay away for long. Or awake for long. We’ll see if I ever make it back out. When you see me again it won’t be me. Or maybe it will. Tell me the codephrase “Solyent green is furries” and if I reply with “What the heck are you talking about, I thought I blocked you a long time ago” then it’s me. If I respond with anything else then alert the authorities and meet me at the secret rendez-vouz in Schwitzerland. Also, how do you spell Schwitzerland? How do you do, har du slugt en flue?

Snapshots from my hood. That apartment block is right next to mine. I don’t know if you can tell, but you can currently see right through it. They’ve ripped out some of the apartments there. And they’ll rip out the walls and floors in that section too. They’re making a hole in the building and leading a road right through it. It’s going to look pretty spectacular when it’s done I think. And luckily I live right next to it so I get to hear construction work for year, hooray!

Got my utilities bill for the year. I pay a monthly fee for heat, water and electricity. Then once a year they tally up how much I have actually used and then I either get money back or have to pay what I owe. Last year I got about 320 dollars back. This year… I have to pay about 220 dollars. Oops. Haha. Well, I was expecting that. I have changed some habits. Especially with the heating. So I was actually afraid I’d get a huge bill. 220 is big, but I can afford it. And it’s worth it to stay warm. Maybe I’ll limit the sauna to the winter months for now, but no way I’m taking down the all-year christmas lights and fountain in the courtyard.
Ah, now it’s a year until I have to worry about that stuff. Bills can’t hurt you until you actually know how big they are.

Don’t know what to say. I was out with the goats, and on my way home I was thinking about what I would write on Facebook. I was going to start with “Good goat times today” as I usually do. Then I was going to talk about how it was cold and rainy and dark and how depressing it is to go out in that weather. How the fences are all down and the goat pen is full of mud and horse droppings. How the goats would barely come out, so most of the time I sat inside with them. How I was feeling sad, but Mia still made me smile when she came up and started nibbling on my ear and I could feel her whiskers tickling the inside of my ear. And I already knew how to end the post. I was going to say that I felt sad and tired and that it felt like the whole world was filling up with mud and horseshit. And then I came home and turned on the TV and saw footage from Las Vegas. And what do you say? I don’t know how to go on. I don’t want to be a part of this world, I really don’t. I want it all to end. Now don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything stupid. I’ll be fine. Life goes on, until it gets you. I’m just sick and tired and everything is horseshit and all I see is darkness. I hope my friends are all okay. Mentally, physically. Thoughts and prayers to the victims. Thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. Thoughts and prayers for the family of the shooter. How many thoughts and prayers will it take to make this stop? To change things? Say when. Say motherfucking when.

Oh and by the way, when I said I wasn’t going to do anything stupid? Don’t worry, I’m still going to do lots of stupid things. Stupid, silly things. I haven’t even broken a rib in months, I’ll be fine. I kinda feel bad that.. you guys worry about me. Haha. Don’t worry about me. I’m a hashtag blessed guy in the fairy tale land of Denmarkia with easy access to goats and pizza. I may be mentally unstable and physically unfit to quality for human-status and also I may keep biting the cut on the inside of my lip every time it has almost healed up but… what was my point again? I love you guys. When all I see is darkness I know I can reach out my hand and there will be a sea of oustretched arms there to grab onto me and guide me back to the light. And I don’t need to take a Facebox quiz to realise that I am hashtag more blessed than 99% of people on Earth. Apart from the blindness, the diabeetus, the phobia, the fat, the depression. No wait. I am hashtag blessed. Also I could probably win a olympic gold medal in rambling and using more words than what was strictly necessary to get a point across PS spellcheck is for losers.
So yes. Thank you all. I hope some of my stupidness or the goatness bring some light in your world. That would make me happy, to feel I’m giving just a little back.

Have I mentioned that I love you guys?

Also, pizza am I right? But I do really appreciate knowing so many wonderful people. When my crazy scientist evil twin invents a cure for social phobia I will wrestle him to the ground and take it from him (I mean, he’s my evil twin. He wouldn’t just give it to me) and then I would spend my life savings to come visit you all. And I really do actually honestly mean that. If you know me you know that I’d rather spend my money making myself and others happy than have a fat bank account. I’d rather be poor and have met you all than be rich and have not. That is the honest truth. If my brain wasn’t a dick I’d be flying out tomorrow. So, I hope you know I appreciate you. I’m not good at humaning so I don’t know if it comes across . But I do.

Well, I’m going to call it a night. Even though it’s not night yet. But you know me. I love to label things. That’s why I put a big label saying “labelmaker” on myself.
I had this giant rant bubbling in my head. About how sad it is that the NRA owns America so hard. About why the US would vote against banning the death penalty being used in ‘discriminatory manner’, ie for homosexuality. As far as I can see by the lamestream fake news article the US was the only Western country that voted against it. About the Trump kids felonies. About Tillerson calling Donny a moron. About whether it’s natural for human to eat animals.
And I think there were some other things too. But that’s all I remember now, and I guess the cliff notes version will do. Eeryone who reads this has alreay made up their own minds about which set of facts are the real news and which are the fake news. What are the true facts and what are the alternative facts. Is Jimmy Kimmel a human being moved by a mass murder or is he paid by democrats to cry crocodile tears to manipulate the snowflakes
Oh yeah part of the ran was about talkshow hosts having to start their shows talking about mass shootings. Over and over. Round and round it goes. Ten shots for a dollar. Hit the ball in the mouth of the clown and knock down the cans. Drain the swamp and let the circus freaks inherit sewage. Spend millions of dollars on golf trips and blame Puerto Rico for ruining the budget. Ban trans people from the military even though viagra costs the military more than the trans people. Money money money makes the world go round. Or stops. Or whatever the rich people want. We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and the pence and the mark and the yen and we’re gonna crack your little skulls. Rock it, man. Lambs to the slaughter, seagulls divebombing horseshit everywhere. We’re gonna need more paper towels.
It’s almost funny watching Trump go on and on about fake news. “Boy the fake news are really out of control, eh guys? Boy howdy. Crazy, huh?”. It’s tlike the weatherman who started the day by promising sunshine and then as the day starts to draw to an end you cut to him standing in shorts in a snowstorm screaming to be heard over the wind “FUCKING HELL I CANT BELIEVE HOW WARM AND SUNNY IT IS. RIGHT, GUYS? YOU’RE ALL WITH ME. SO SUNNY. THE BEst sun. An ocean of sun”. No yeah. All the constant bad stories about you are just fake news. You’re Superman and Lex Luthor bought up all the media. Stupid sore losers should just accept that you won the popular and electoral vote and that Puerto Rico is the world’s most remote island and that there’s no discernible differenve between the coast guard, the navy, the airforce and the traffic wardens. All those bankrupcies never happened and Billy Bush is a ventriloquist and voiced both parts of the pussy conversation. And your kids didn’t kill those endangered animals, they were just stunned and after the photo op they got up and ran away and are now living happily at a farm two states over. You didn’t dodge the draft you were doing secret undercover service in the war against the Martians. You haven’t heard about the war against Mars? THAT’S BECAUSE WE WON IT AND COVERED IT UP SO YOU GUYS COULD SLEEP AT NIGHT. You think Rocket Man is bad, you should have seen Rocket Martian. Bad hombre I tell you what. I’m pretty sure you’re the only white guy that ever made it as far as Puerto Rico. Very few people dare to sail the big oceans filled with sea serpents and whirlpools. There goes our hero. Bravely fighting against the evil journalists who refuse to kneel for christ and who refuse to stand for the anthem and who refuse to say christmas and who refuse to aknowledge that your daughter is a hot piece of ass and who tricked all your staff to use private emails and who photoshopped your entire family into Putin’s christms card photo lock them up lock them up lock them up.
Well whaddaya know. I guess it turned into another rant anyway. If you’re wondering why I’m so obsessed with America it’s because I love America and many of my best friends are Americans and also I ‘m against mass murders and corruption, I know that’s a controversial and divisive tweet. Don’t worry, I’ll just delete it if I’m proven wrong. The winner gets to write history and the loser gets to delete the tweets and pretend he was on the right side all along. By all means. Elect the guy who thinks homosexuality is the same as bestiality. Maybe he can get hte death penalty reinstated for both. Hangman’s fake noose game, tick tock you sank my battleship.
My brain still can’t decide if it’s happy or sad. I try to distract it with shiny things. No wooden nickels. Just shiny pennies from heaven. Goat smiles and pizza slices. Whatever it takes. This world is a merry go round but it’s not really that merry, is it? At least we can take comfort in the one thing we know for sure. Nothing is ever going to change. 50 years from now you’ll be eating meat sandwichs and your kids will be gunned down in school. But don’t worry. They’ll be safe when they’re at home where you have your own guns. Let’s just hope they don’t grow up to beocme one of the shooters. But you’d know. Of course you would. What parents wouldn’t know that their children were growing up to be the bad guys with the guns? If there’s one thing we’ve learned from these shootings it’s that people always see it coming. As the neighbours always say live on TV “I could tell by how completely normal and average he was that he was a ticking time bomb just waiting to slaughter the lambs”. Here’s a sandwich. Here’s a church, here’s the steeple. The great thing about liars is that they always tell the truth, as long as you want to believe it strongly enough. If you do enough research you’ll sooner or later find the evidence for that thing you knew were the truth all along. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean it isn’t a giant conspiracy against everything you believe in and hold dear. I’ll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches.
Sorry. The cynicism is overwhelming. I’ll go dream. Maybe tomorrow everything will have changed.

I didn’t make it out of bed this morning. Overwhelmed by hopelessness. And coughing. I thought I was getting sick. I’m feeling fine now. Maybe it was just an insectfrog stuck in my throat. I don’t know. I had beautiful dreams. Beautiful and sad. Someone died i my dreams. I can’t remember who. Maybe it was me. They fell of a roof. It was very sad. I feel like my heart and body is broken, maybe I fell off a roof. Nah, I’m fine. I’ll try and keep it mellow today.

All of us goat content creators should get together and make a Goat App and put all our content exclusively on that and make the big bucks. There’s Hulu. There’s Netflix. There’s CBS All Access with Star Trek. And there’s GoatFlix. Goatulu? Goat All Access.
Thank me later when we’re rich.

I feel it should be noted that it’s currently 3:54 am and I am sound asleep in my bed. So whoever is posting this is clearly an imposter and should not be trusted. If I ask you for your credit card number or the password to your email account do not answer me. It’s a trap. The good Lasse is in the dream lodge and he can’t leave. Write it on your Facebook.

Good goat times today. Glad I made it out. It was a lovely, sunny morning. But I was out pretty early so it was quite cold. The sun kept shining though and eventually it became a beautiful day.
Lots of goat wrangling. Since I was there early I had to get the goats out. I took Mia and Mio the court year area out front for a bit. But I couldn’t find Mia’s collar (she hasn’t worn her collar in many months now, but I’m pretty sure I saw it lying inside at some point). So I could only have Mio on a leash and I didn’t feel comfortable having all 3 goats out like that. And I didn’t want to leave A38 all alone for too long. So, soon enough I t wrangled the great whites back inside and then out through the mudslides. You can imagine how thrilled they were with that. There was a guy working on the fence. He was clipping the wire mesh and removing it. I guess they’re redoing the fences. But that left a gaping hole and when Mia figured that out she was out like a fox that spots an open door to the hen house. I am too polite to mention the reason why Mio did not follow her. But it rhymes with “big round deli”. So then I wrangled Mia for a while, trying to get her back in. And just when I almost had her… Mio came walking out the front door. A girl who helps with the animals had arrived and wanted to take them to the alt pen across the path. Alritey then. Silly goaties were not happy about the trek. Even though it’s a short trek to a pen that’s full of grass and trees and bushes with lots of greens. Away from the pen and pasture that’s now just one big fart of mud and horse manure. They just don’t like new, unfamiliar things and places. Especially grandma. After a long while we go them in there. And they started eating greens. Then the girl (I forget her name, but she’s very nice. We’ve talked before briefly) went to get the horses. And of course Mio managed to slip out the gate after one of the horses was let in. Zoom for the hills. So the girl goes to try to get Mio. But Mio is not easily handled. She’s strong like an ox. Meanwhile I’m trying to keep Mia in the pen. The problem with that alternative pen is that the fences aren’t quite high enough and they’re built in a way that gives Mia a few spots where she can make the jump across. Oh dear. So I knew that the second I’d go help to bring Mio back, Mia would jump out. And eventually she did jump out. So then I went to get Mio back. I can sort of handle her. And I got her back in the pen. And the girl got Mia back eventually. Phew. And then everyone was in the pen with the greens and everyone was happy. Until it was time for me to leave. I knew that would be tough. With the goats already on edge because of the new surroundings. I had to wait until Mia was some distance away and distracted. And then I literally had to half sneak and half run away. Heading up to the regular pen where I’d left my backpack. And then walking across the horse pasture to stay out of sight. But of course, I had to walk all the way around and sneak back to check on Mia. To make sure she hadn’t jumped the fence to follow me. It was a little heartbreaking. I could hear her running around in the new pen looking for me, bleating her heart out. It was like a kid who got seperated from her parents in a big mall and was sure she was now lost forever. Such anguish. Daggers in my heart. Poor Mia. I feel so bad for doing that to her every time. It almost makes me think she’d be better off if I didn’t come visit, but I know that’s silly. Parting is so loud sorrow.

Where’s Yogi? Might be hard to spot due to the low quality photo. But she found herself a nice spot in the sun.

Goatlog, from Lisa’s second day visiting. It was almost like summer ended between her two visits. First day was nice and sunny. Second day the rain set in. Also, vegemite.

Mia and Mio in the alternate pen. Where everything is still green. It’s like a frikken paradise in there, and yet they’d still rather escape back to the comfort of the mudslide they know. They did enjoy the greens, though.

You guys really dodged a bullet. I went to bed last night with a million thoughts in my head. It would have made a great ramble. My memory is so bad I wouldn’t even be able to recreate it now. For once it wasn’t divisive and political. Well, maybe a little divisive. It was about life and death and the afterlife and the meaning of life and non existence and the inherent selfishness of humans and things like that. It was almost like having a debate in my own head. When you ask yourself questions that you don’t have the answers to.
But I DID manage to deduce that the meaning of life is definitely [crackling statich and your computer spontaneously reboots]

Oh hey, the nazis are back. But let’s all focus on getting the overpaid athletes to stand and respect the flag. Or both flags. We gotta respect the confederate one too, right? I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I feel very strongly about it *shakes fist at sky, then at ground then at scary teenagers walking by on the other side of the road*
I’m very offended by this. And also very offended by the people who are too easily offended by the things I deem not to be offensive. Also celebs should shut up about politics, unless I agree with them. Or they’re running for senate. Or president.
Did I fix the world yet? Say when.

Tis the season where I set the space heater to actually heat space instead of just blow cold air around. Sigh. Soon I’ll probably have to start wearing my thermo underwear when I go out. It sucks because then I can barely feel it when girls grab my tush on the bus.
It’s a joke. But when you’re a scruffy looking goat herder you let them do that.

I for one applaud Mike Pence for walking out of the game when the players were kneeling. I’m not sure why he was carrying that tiki torch, though.
Too much?
There are no morals anymore. Only fake outrage. Falling snowflakes and ashes from the volcano. Fire and brimstone and nuclear winter. Abortions for the mistresses and book deals for the ex wives. Casting couches for the interns. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Why don’t you come and see me some time. Don’t worry. It’s just the quiet before the storm. In between the hurricanes. I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.

How am I doing? Thanks for asking. I don’t know. It’s been about a week since I lowered the dose of my meds. I am not sure if it has really helped any. But then. With everything that’s going on. Las Vegas. Politics. Everything. I don’t want to be a person that doesn’t get sad and frustrated about that stuff. So maybe it’s fine. Maybe this is fine, like the cartoon dog says. In any case, I’m enjoying my new job as a political commentator and I think I look good in this suit. Pass the nuts.
