The Saturday 6-Pack

Nice clip.

I thought since a virus can hurt anybody that even the wealthy would insist on universal housing to contain it. And when we first locked down I thought this a great chance to learn how to move away from the mindless consumerism that’s killing the planet. I thought this time we have no choice but to do it right. I can’t believe I was still so ****ing hopeful and naive. It’s so devastating the exact opposite has happened. Not even personal tragedies like the deaths of loved ones has hurt this badly.

It's keeping me from going up into Wisconsin to visit relatives. That's a win in my book. I'm an ******* though. A peace lovin hippie dickhead that tries too hard to be funny.

You’ve made peace with life I think. Honestly I don’t know how you did it.

1. If you could take back all the time you've spent listening to music and spend it on something else, would you?
No way.

2. Is the grass always greener on the other side?
No, not always. When I'm tired I might think it's greener for those who have more freedom or fewer responsibilities, but that's a fleeting thought.

3. At what age did you stop dressing up for Halloween, assuming you dressed up at all? If you haven't stopped, what are you dressed as tonight?
Stopped at age 11.

4. You are selected as the DJ for an event that features both Joe Biden and Donald Trump - they are looking for a song that builds suspense for the presidential race - what's the first song you play?
I think we've had enough suspense. Maybe Metal Machine Music, so that I could clear my mind and the room simultaneously.

5. You're going to die before midnight strikes - you've already said your goodbyes to your loved ones - you have every drug at your fingertips, what's the first one you indulge in?
No drugs. I'd rather hang on to awareness and feel myself slipping away, for some strange reason.

6. Let's assume Covid-19 never happened - would your life be better? Would it be worse? Why?
I'd say it's a wash, really. If Covid hadn't happened, I'd still be restricted to the office much of the time, with that perpetual tug of war between work and home. I have a stressful job (vacation day tomorrow - yay) and sometimes the only chance I have for fun or "me" time is logging on to MB for literally a few minutes. But life with Covid is worse, for obvious reasons - I've experienced increased anxiety, insomnia, and feel moderately depressed much of the time (and I'm not usually a depressive).

I think this ones been done before, but I'll tell my old man story again. lol

Living in a small house, and just getting up from a nap, I heard a prop plane flying overhead on a sunny breezy summer day. That's one of the first ones.

Nuremburg Germany.

3. What kind of shampoo(s) and soap(s) do you use?

Dove Mens care 50 in 1 for now because I'm out of Dr Teals Coconut Oil Body Wash.

4. How do you feel at this very moment?

Relaxed. Working on a structural project at work and just waiting for 2:30 to come around so I can get out for round of disc golf.

5. Are you an affectionate person?

I think so, yes.

6. How would you describe your sense of humor?

Repressed by the violence inherent in the system.

1. What is your earliest memory?
Looking out the window at night to watch the trams ride by
2. What’s the furthest away from your home you’ve ever been?
Vancouver
3. What kind of shampoo(s) and soap(s) do you use?
Soap: Pears soap, always. Shampoo: I always used a brand called Guhl, which I think is just a Dutch thing because I can't find it here in England; now I just use some bottle of l'Oreal which I don't really like
4. How do you feel at this very moment?
all right, pretty tranquil and cheerful actually
5. Are you an affectionate person?
very much so by nature, but I think I'm not good at showing it sometimes
6. How would you describe your sense of humor?
My hunour is pretty dry I guess. I've been told that I make jokes in a really deadpan voice
