Sadly, Iām here to announce the end of this here blog. While we didnāt quite hit our goal of one year of continuous daily blogging, I think we should be proud of the two-hundred and eighty some odd days we did complete!
For those of you who are curious about why the sudden end is necessary, let me explain. Today I was offered a job I couldnāt say no to. The Listerine company has a viral marketing division and Iāve accepted the role of clandestine marketer for the Chicago region. Basically, my job will be to attend six to ten karaoke events nightly and sing Bushās hit song āGlycerineā, while humorously swapping out the title word for that of my new employer, Americaās best mouthwash brand, Listerine. Perks of the job include free mouth mash and one draft beer at each location to help me blend in with the crowd. Iām excited for the opportunity to push the Listerine brand forward and help America keep our teeth looking sparkly clean. Also, if youād be so kind to follow my TikTok account @BushMegaFanG, I would super appreciate it. If I get a post to go viral, I get really nice job perks, such as lunch with the CEO at Applebeeās or additional drink tickets, which I can also trade in for their cash value if I decide not to consume the alcohol and instead sneak a decoy beer container into the bar to appear like a regular customer.
Anyway. Thanks so much for stopping by and Iāll see you at karaoke!!

Caught a fish haul returning to dock while out scouting for our shoot. The boat set out at 3:30am and travelled seventy miles off shore. While this was a paid trip for tourists looking for a bit of deep-sea action, it was an interesting scene to encounter and got me thinking about how vastly complex our world is, and how typically these days most of our food ecosystem takes place behind the scenes and out of sight. We choose a number or place an order and minutes later, a hot fresh plate is waiting. I just had a chicken sandwich for dinner, and while seeing a few dozen dead fish on the dock is one thing, I canāt imagine what the equivalent scene would look like down the road at the chicken factory.
