Welcome to my daily blog, my name is Oatmeal Joey Arnold, follow me on social media and on all the websites at Joeyarnoldvn or else. Wait, was that a threat? No way. I'm joking. But that's the thing about me, I'm a nerd stuck in the body of an athlete, born in 1985 in Oregon, been online since like 1995 meaning I've been on the world wide web the past 30+ years uploading over 30K+ videos, we're talking thousands of hours of worth of content, most of my content is terrible which is weird because I'm a perfectionist who would probably prefer only sharing my best stuff on the Internet. Click here for more information. Quick disclaimer, I sometimes like rant, I speak often from the top of my head opinions, feelings, random thoughts, I often don't even spell check, fact check, or look at what I've been posting on hundreds of websites and apps for decades now. But as I get older, I do try to be more careful as I try to summarize my life, my autobiography, to correct the record as I try to tell my side of the story to combat the Oatmeal Fake News that my lolcow trolls spam the Internet with as they fool people into believing the lies they tell about me. Not saying you should watch my videos. But if they can lie about me, they can lie about you. But I sometimes trolled my trolls to show the world how easy it is to fool trolls who fell for the lies I put out there. Most of what I try to do in my life probably fails big time you might say but I was at least able to scam my trolls a few times over the years. I sometimes utilize sarcasm, hyperbole, satire, comedy, absurdity, Devil's advocate, trolling, scamming, click baiting, out of context stuff, irony, etc. But I often wouldn't tell people when I was trolling or not trolling. If you studied me, you could eventually figure it out. But most of my trolls are too lazy to research beyond the tip of the iceberg which led to my trolls repeating lies they about me which would only take a second to debunk. I felt like I had more trolls at times than actual fans or friends. For more info, questions, feedback, join my Discord servers. I have more to say but I will continue writing some of this stuff other places as usual. Because I write many books worth of content all of my life. You can send your artificial intelligence or AI to give you outlines of my content and what not. But you have to always remind the AI that I've had hundreds to thousands of different accounts, channels, pages, groups, sock puppet alt accounts, personas, parodies, profiles, communities, entities, and so on and so forth, ask me about all of that if you dare. People are free to steal any of my like free content, you don't have to give me credit, do whatever you want.

Noon study, around Matthew 5, there is value in not becoming the evil you fight and in not falling into the belief that the ends justifies the means. There's a difference between seeking after justice and seeking after revenge in an emotional rage from a seed of hate, pride, victim-hood within an impatient tunnel vision of doubt, worry. Went directly home. Wood stove still going. Lunch: 01:42 PM. Mom feeling a bit cold and tired, I added 3 logs to the fire today as of 02:00 PM for the last 4 hours. The third log was put in a few minutes ago. Mom on the phone all day with Rick. I used the electric saw, cut of around five large branches, a wheel barrows. Azure pickup around 6:10 PM at the farm stand, five boxes, eggs, the last milk, unloaded some of it to the front garage, got some good real brown sugar in a box, like $80 of like 30 pounds or whatever it was, mom said she spent like $500 in the last like 30 days on groceries not including some of what we already had, but mom said we ate up like $150 of it, I replied saying it is restaurant level food and not TV dinners, mom bantered back yeah TV dinners would be more expensive. Dinner: 06:55 PM. Last log put in around 11 PM as mom is watching the Dick Van Dyke Show, computer laundry room is 68 F at that time. Food log: Breakfast: coffee, 4 tangerines, 10:46 AM. Lunch: raspberry yogurt, coffee, 01:42 PM. Chicken carrot kingwa off the wood stove watery plus spicy soup bit warm not cold was good, 02:00 PM. Ate a bunch of the bread mom baked the other day. Dinner: last package of deer hamburger meat, enough for like two burgers, I thought it was cow meat but it was deer, 06:55 PM. Black tea. We drove the car through the fog for a night farm stand pick up. Interesting ride around 6:10 PM, it was a good drive. Wood stove fire is still a continuation from like Saturday, several logs worth today to feed the fire, several tubs of brush too similar to previous days. Mom had good conversations with Rick on the phone and also with me. Mom was saying she did not know what a song was on the TV, I said oh it is Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra. Mom said it reminded her of someone, I said oh Tony Bennett, she said yes. Mom mentioned music she liked growing up, mom included on her list the Monkeys.
