My Music Journal 2025: August 13, 2025

 


Wednesday, August 13, 2025

Time: 6:08 A.M.
Song: Lyin’ Eyes
Artist: Eagles
Mode of Consumption: Listening to MP3s on shuffle while working out in the basement.

The lyric played while I was doing jumping jacks.

“A rich old man and she won’t have to worry.”

A few moments later, Jodi’s voice calls out down the basement steps.

“You know, if I find a rich old man, you’d be the one I’d be cheating with.”

She was joking, of course, but after having a few days off last week, I think we are both thinking of ways that we could move out of the workforce.

“I’d share the money with you,” she continued. “At least we wouldn’t have to go to work tomorrow.”

The last part of her statement is from the “Darmine Doggy Door” skit video from Tim Robinson’s Netflix show “I think You Should Leave.”

In the video, Robinson plays a man short on sleep who thinks a monster has entered his house through a traditional doggy door. He makes the remark while realizing that he might be eaten that he “won’t have to go to work tomorrow.”

It’s a line we drop a lot now whenever the potential for something bad happens.
