Field Notes

What are the odds Kalshi would give me?

_MG_6784-2 Busted Barn Gate, Frisco TX

I am so filled with rage lately, and I really don't know why. The buildup of a thousand little pressures, maybe. I'm not a violent person, and I haven't attacked anybody, but man... sometimes I feel like I could. I think about it. And when I catch myself in the mirror thinking about it, it's not a gleeful thing. I'm frowning.

I feel trapped. That's really what it is. My career and my family life are a cage, and each month the cage gets a little smaller. Or I get fatter. Whatever.

For some reason, boredom probably, I've been thinking about playing music again. I used to play horns, but that's more of a band thing, kind of boring to play solo. Lately I've been thinking about piano. Shopping around, mostly, figuring out which digital piano hits the best overlap of quality and price. Would I stick with it? What are the odds Kalshi would give me, or Polymarket? My soul is held in a barn stall with a busted gate, kept shut with rusted wire.
