She's chilling. She doesn't do cold water. π€£ππ

Today I answered no phone calls and made one phone call.
I wish I could do that every day.

There will be 5 generations of Shashue in this house in about 2 hours.
This makes me a very happy man.
But what also makes me a very happy man is that I might be appreciating it from the beach or the woods until things quiet down a bit at home base.

I was fully in the matrix while I was parenting a minor and providing for my family.
It's kinda hard to see it when you're on the hamster wheel.
So, I find it hard to snub those folks for allowing their own victimization.
The system they/we all operate in was set up with a lot of foresight. Some folks with really low time preference.
Folks on the hamster wheel of life in the west didn't even see it coming and don't see it happening.

This one ππΎππΎππΎ is #woke in the historic meaning of the word. He's probably reading old books and to top it off, he's young AF.
Good for him ππΎ
#algos they do have a purpose.
But it's hard to leverage it as a pleb (fully) for our benefit when alphabet & intelligence are the same things.
Frustrating for me.
But outside of #Nostr most users don't even know it's a tool being used against them.
This won't make sense to some.
So putting it under #google & #youtube #π #ποΈ #A π

I'd file this under "grown-up conversations".
I like this interview bc the guest did all the talking and the host has good taste in watches.
I don't know what you all think, but it looks to me like not only is El Salvador winning, but it also looks like Argentina is setting up for some wins too.
What does #Nostr think?

Today is my pop's born day.
So I asked him, what can I do today so that I am able to do the things he does at his age. I.e.
Climbing ladders and cutting tree branches in prep for incoming hurricane.
Maintaining gardens here, at my sisters place, and back in Haiti.
Riding his bicycle 5 miles (minimum) every day.
Cooks his own food everyday.
Grows his own food and raises his own animals.
Pops manages two family farms in Haiti (one of them goes back a few grandpa's). The other is pretty close to the mayhem that is in port au prince. So it's concerning. But he walks with God so he is not worried about things.
He flies more than I do every year. I no longer trust commercial airlines, so Ive kept that stuff to a minimum since all the old head pilots and mechanics retired during covid shutdowns. No offense towards the new pilots and mechanics. I just need a bit more time to evaluate that model in a high inflation environment.
He has 5 children and adopted 2 = 7 in total. He has 5 grandkids and 3 great grandkids.
He is a little slow with the reflex response so he doesn't drive in the US anymore. But for an emergency he could if he had to.
My pops came to America in 1967 and has never been pulled over by the police let alone get a traffic violation and he has driven his whole life.
He has never in his life set foot inside a bar.
Only attends family parties and events. You won't catch him at a networking event or happy hour. Not his thing and has never been.
He thinks I'm doing an awesome job with Mom.
I'm glad he is where he is doing what he is doing for the future of our family.
Bc if he wasn't where he is doing what he is doing than I would like be where I am doing what I am doing.
I didn't feel this way 8 or even 6 months ago. I was a pretty pissed dude. Scared. Worried. Fragmented.
I didn't realize I was where I was supposed to be or needed to be until a month or so ago.
Oh and yeah his answer "take care of your body, if God wills it, it will be so for you too. π
Word, I can get down with that.

Good morning #nostr fam
We had a good dip in the Atlantic this morning. Better than my ice bath back home actually.

The ant looks up at the dog to see a shock collar, a prong collar a leash and says to the dog....
You know, if you forget you knew how to fetch you could be free like me. π
#RandomThoughts
The dog stops on the sidewalk to watch the ant cross his path on the sidewalk, serially with all the other ants.
Dog says to the ant, "you know...if you learn to fetch, you can live the life I live." π
How about that.

I'm guessing crocks and UGGs are very comfortable.
One day I will know for sure. π

Think about a recent situation that you witnessed that may have seemed chaotic, say like a coffee shop during their busy breakfast rush hour.
There's the regular that knows the names of the workers and they know his name too. He's in/out in a sec.
There's the guy that's coming from the hotel across the street, he's here on business on the phone clearly working and oblivious to the the chaos.
There's the girl waiting for her order while her dad (I think) is waiting on her but calling her on her mobile every few minutes. This one has a thing for ketchup packets. I think the workers know this bc the lady behind the counter hands only one packet to her Everytime she asked for more.
But moments later (yeah, I was in there a while witnessing chaos) I saw that same employee palm a handful of ketchup packets and throw it in an order and that person didn't even ask for ketchup. Weird.

Good night #Nostr fan

A thing I learned today is that sometimes even though it might look like chaos at a time and place, if you go to a different time and place to experience that same chaos, you won't find that moment as chaos.
Yeah...think on that for a sec.
SMH.

I've felt like E l on M these last few days in that I am one of the "Rich" 'est esss o bees.
Today has been pretty magical.
I hope you all have magical days too even if today was not one of them.

On the surface seems like an insignificant moment.
But she is using her right hand to fold my laundry.
Eight months ago I thought she was going to either check out or be imprisoned in a lifeless body that she couldn't move or control in any way.

I was writing for about 2 hours last night, random thoughts and other brain things. I don't remember details.
[Fast forward to the next frame]
I just spent an hour looking for that doc I typed up last night and haven't found it yet. π
Going for a walk with Wiggles.
The fam is huddled in the kitchen doing what Haitians do when they all get together.
While whatever the concauction is smells really good, Wiggles is like "let me out". π€£ππ
Too much for her.

"What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."
~ Neil Postman
TikTok or Monkey Brain; you don't need a tik tok account or a monkey to be afflicted by it.
Filling your memory bank with information simply bc it's free info eats up the space that you can use to store practical or useful info that will improve your life.

I think this was a great message to receive on this day.
I hope to meet this one at the dog park during biz hours one of these days.
I believe there is a mass awakening happening possibly globally, but definitely in America.
And I think the catalyst that set off the chain of events around this was the covid shutdown in 2020.
Much respect and prayers to this brother and the journey he is on.
