Turn the light on I am just a shadow
In the night I am nothing
In one days time, I will be yesterday
In a year a distant memory
Life before internet
Do you remember life before the internet?
Definitley remember this, libraries, books, tv and sports were your entertainment.
I can remember life before cds and vhs. It was a lot different then… If you wanted to talk to someone you called them, visited them or wrote a letter. Society has become too wrapped up in the world of instant communication.
What are you good at?
Sleeping and so far stayimg alive… All the rest is subject to the opinions of others.
Having it all…
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
Interesting question, what does it mean?
Having it all means different things to a lot of people. A lot of folks use other people as a measure of what this is. I try not to gauge my life in contrast with what others have.
Having it all to me means having what is needed to live life. Food on the table, reliable vehicle, the ability to keep clothes on my back and a roof over my head.
I have learned that the grass on the other side of the femce may be greemer, but it is not my grass. It may be greener, but that person may not have all the things that i need to be happy. They may not have the clothes, they may not eat regularly, they may not have transportation. And for them that may be fine because they have green grass and that makes them happy. But I am not them, they are not me.
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
My sanity, the ability to get up each day and do it again.
How do you feel about cold weather?
Well hmmmm cold weather you can put on more clothes to stay warm, or snuggle with a buddy to stay warm. As opposed to Hot weather, where you can only remove so much clothing before it becomes illegal for you to be in public…. and snuggling with a buddy just begins to lack its appeal.
Have you ever broken a bone?
No, but I have crushed a disk in my back, and knurled some fingers on a table saw. Not sure which hurt more the fingers on the table saw or crushing a disk. I will say that there is a little more PTSD from the table saw incident.
Sacrifices
Many sacrifices… too many some were of benefit, others not so much so. However, I remind myself of this when I consider all the things this is a quote from a previous post https://unplugged-pagan.com/the-ve/
“I am nothing more than a sum of your memories, the good the bad, the ugly. It matters not who I believe I am, was, or shall be. It matters not what I have done, what I am doing, or what I shall be. You write my history, you write my eulogy.
What I can say about myself is I am a Human Being, not a human doing, not a human done or will do. If perchance you get to know me I am humbled. If you choose not to get to know me I am made sad.
I hope you have enjoyed what I have written, it may not be accurate, but neither is memory nor written word as it has been tainted by the impure recollections of a human. Live long and Thanks for all the Fish.”
Oldest thing
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?
Would have to be my combat boots, i have had them for 5 years now and they are worn almost daily.
Leader or follower
Are you a leader or a follower?
The question lacks context. In what? Work, home, social settings. I am neither, I am both, sometimes one or sometimes the other.
