Well ain’t you sweet, cheers! 😏

'Preciate you too, and shall do. Keeping it real is the only way I know how to roll. 🤙

Should be asleep ramble but…

Honestly, had a lot of time to think back in chemo. Wasn’t even old enough to drink yet. Caught early, pretty high rates for success… But still… Lots of time to think. Sat next to sweet old ladies with much harder fights…

I appreciate the cosmic absurdity of it all. This whole experience of brief life in a tiny blip of this stupid cosmic scale of infinity in all directions, billions of years either side… Meaning comes from what we make it. It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. Try to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Find hobbies. Learn a new skill. Get lost in a book, or museum, or at a disco. Get that extra slice. Take that road trip. Learn how to play that instrument. No, it’s probably not too late to start skiing, or climbing, or studying French. Grind if you have to. Cool shit often requires luck, but those who put in the hours get lucky more.

I feed my brain new music every day, and try to add laughter to every room I’m in. Make art, be weird, find the helpers.

Much love

Glad to hear you’re on the mend, friend. The world is a better place for having you in it. ❤️

Despite the sheer absurdity and chaos of it all, glad we’re sharing this weird spaceship called Earth during these wild times.

Rooting for you. 🤙

Maybe stay away from acid 😂

I got into a fender bender with someone I knew from college. Spun out on ice so we meet front to front when we bumped. Once the cars stopped I swear we both practically did the cartoon eye rub of disbelief lolol.

Not mine but old school crew story. Couple of lads bumped into each other in a bar in Europe - we from the States. Neither knew the other was traveling. Heard a distinct laugh across the pub and rest is history.

Roller Town. Largely because I’m trying to introduce more people to the fever dream of a movie that is Roller Town.

Free on YouTube, highly recommend if you’re into comedy and absurdity. Just go in blind, have fun!

Excellent points, appreciate the write up. Better said than I could myself.

I will also note that in my personal experience phone was more of a hail mary when I’d be doing like a wedding reception or private party and needed a tune for client that wasn’t already in my USBs. When the tip depends on it, yes, I absolutely DJ with the phone.

As a DJ and audiophile in general, yeah I’m not thrilled on headphones using batteries and Bluetooth. I’ll give up my hard-line when I’m dead.

Sure, some wireless for exercise or casual use is fine. Full deal breaker if I’m performing though.

Good time to roll a new character so it’s beefy when DLC drops.

Haven’t sailed in a while, DM me tips on how to get my vessel sea-worthy again! 🏴‍☠️🦜

Is there an android app?

+1 for Eargasm. The real MVP is the keychain carrying case which ensures I never leave home without em. As a drummer, DJ, and loud music enthusiast they’re one of my best purchases ever. I genuinely forget they’re in sometimes, but then I’ll take em out and it makes a big difference. Awesome quality of sound, just less damage.

Now I just want an accurate infographic of “safe” combustible plastics.

That second one still fucks me up…

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I’m hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I’ll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here’s hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It’s sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone’s mom got facebook.
