Good evening, friends! I’m dealing with a sick @guthrie. Poor guy is running a fever and since I’ll be up checking on him, I thought this would be a good time to get some thoughts on the blockchain in a freewrite. If you’re here for the pinup models, this one won’t be for you. Things are relatively good […other than our son feeling under the weather]. I mean, I can nitpick, sure. Things have been really frustrating on the @mirrorpool, EOS, Pomelo front. Money is terrible right now. I have been booking shoots in LA and Vegas for next month, it just isn’t enough. I’ve been living that stress most of my life, though, so it’s nothing new.
I've been cooking a lot, which is also therapeutic. Zuppa di Funghi last night. I’ve also been seeing friends and being social lately and that has been the story of the last few weeks. I am going through some difficult emotional stuff with someone close. Nothing I’m wanting to elaborate on publicly, but it’s taking a toll mentally and emotionally. @tarotbyfergus knows about it because I’ve hired him for a couple of readings, as does @lovejoy and @roadscape. The good news is, things with @vermillionfox and I are better than ever. She’s really stepped up for our family landing a good job. We’re both still kickboxing regularly and spending a lot of quality time together.
@lovejoy called and invited us, @mada and @amberjyang out for dinner to Gorkha Palace, my favorite dining establishment in the Twin Cities. It was great. We were able to laugh and lose ourselves in philosophical thought experiment conversations while ruminating on the threats of global agendas. A familiar feeling of being the fringe group of weirdos challenging one another and our own beliefs surrounded by a room full of normal folks trying their best to ignore the obnoxious iconoclasts in the periphery. From there, we took the party to @caffetto.
That night was probably the first time I recall feeling like I was in a world without the constant interruption of my own awareness of the COVID insanity. It felt like our lives before the world became unhinged. A couple days later, I saw @tarotbyfergus and was able to play a few games of Magic. Also, a reminder of how grateful I am that, although @caffetto is still inundated with lost souls wearing masks [more as a political statement than anything], I’m happy to have some of my old life back spending time with friends.
