Welcome to the latest edition of Dozie's Brain Dump. If you're unfamiliar with this blog format, I basically just empty the clip of thoughts in my head. We're not super worried about flow or being good, it's all about venting to strangers and loved ones on the internet. Today we're switching it up and going list style.

1. Yesterday, in my Mac Jones is a Jaguar blog, I mentioned how I don’t care about dozonlife.com anymore. That couldn’t be further from the truth. This website is everything to me and is responsible for so much growth, for which I’m incredibly thankful. Writing has help me in more ways than I’ll ever be able to quantify; I’ve just been going through it and feeling the pressures of adulthood in a capitalist society amidst a democratic backslide. More so, my goals may be shifting. Barstool is no longer this end-all, be-all goal. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to work there and believe I’d thrive in that environment, but I’m not the same Ryan/Doz I was in 2016 when I started this blog. My priorities and goals have evolved. Creating is still an essential part of my existence. I never wanna stop making things; I’m just opening myself up to other possibilities. My biggest priority with writing is using my voice to entertain and inform. Ideally, I’ll find a way to survive off it. So many scumbags and assholes make a living doing this; as someone genuinely trying to improve life for all, I fucking deserve a break. I’ve paid my dues. I’m ready to take on so much more.
2. The RISB is a fucking joke. I did a little SGP with Celtics three-pointers with the Jays and KP on Saturday. I placed it at 2:15 PM (I usually NEVER place bets that early and that's what I get for doing so). KP ended up not playing, and even though both Jays hit their prop, the bet was void. That is absolute ass. I should get paid out as if it were a two-leg parlay. Typical Rhode Island fuckery (even though, hand up, I shouldn't have bet this early like a sucker). 
3. I'm feeling soooo much better about myself and the unfortunate ending (fingers crossed that we reconnect) with this chick I started seeing. I still don't understand what the fuck happened, and I'm beginning to accept that I may never know, and it could very well not be because of anything I did. I got beers with a buddy Friday night, watched the C's with my dad on Saturday, and had lunch with another friend on Sunday. That was huge for the Doz man. It was fantastic to spend time with others and not just be alone in my room playing Madden, overthinking myself to death. Talking it out undoubtedly helps. If you think you need therapy, you should find yourself a shrink. It saved my life; s/o Liberty.
4. I reaaally dig Chappel Roan and want to dive into her catalog more, but she reminds me of the woman in point #3 who introduced me to her. Now she's way too painful to listen to, even though I fw her. "Red Wine Supernova" and "My Kink is Karma" are fucking bangers. Hopefully, things will get resolved with the lady I'm not gonna name on the blog for her privacy. I high-key love her and don't give a fuck what anybody thinks (unless they're supportive). 5. Ya boi's been listening to a ton of Blur lately, and I'm not ashamed to admit that 90s Damon Albarn was a total dreamboat. "Charmless Man" reminds me of way too many dudes I've encountered throughout my life. I might've bought a "Parklife" T-shirt yesterday... 
6. Kirko Cousins is gonna look so fucking silly in those gradient ATL unis.
7. If you care about the planet + the people and wildlife that inhabit it, you shouldn't vote for Mango Mussolini. Check out some information on the rise of fascism in Europe in the 20th century before that's outlawed. How many rights do people need to lose before you wake the fuck up? (if this applies to you...and hopefully it shouldn't) 8. I had mushrooms (not the fun kind) on this hipster pizza in Newport yesterday. While there were way too many (four different shrooms) on the pie, I did enjoy the burnt ones and am proud of myself for trying new foods. That said, $26 for a 12-inch pizza is borderline criminal. 9. I like that the Pats brought back Kendrick Bourne and Hunter Henry. They're two of the like 10 guys on the roster that should stick around for the rebuild.
10. I didn't watch a second of The Oscars last night and do not regret that decision. I'm happy for Christopher Nolan, though. I don't think I'd recognize him if he were looking right at me..but who doesn't love The Dark Knight? (prob Heath Ledger's family??). Good for Chris!
11. The present I bought the woman in point #3 is scheduled to come in tomorrow, and if that doesn't get her to reach out and, at the very least, say thanks, then I will officially move on. For now, I am holding out hope that things just went a little too quickly for her, and she got scared because it is overwhelming to meet such an incredible guy and not just click on so many levels but have such a fantastic time together. Loyal DOL reader, maybe I'm wrong...but I'm not ready to give up on her. I know there's something there worth fighting for (sorry for ending a sentence with "for"). Plus, I've never been prouder of my foreplay game. That's what makes this even more puzzling. Like, I know I killed it. I still can't fucking believe I haven't talked to her since Thursday. There's been about a million different things I've wanted to talk about with her. Man, this sucks. I would eat nothing but seafood (which I hate) for a week straight to have another shot. 12. Originally, I was going to stick with 11 points due to it being 3/11, but I just saw this on TWITTER (I'll never call it X). Hasn't Malcolm Butler retired like three times already? Maybe it's merely to get some buzz for this week's The Dynasty? If the Super Bowl 52 episode gives any legit insight into that idiotic decision, it may save this subpar docuseries.
