I am under no illusion, (old school reference to the site!) that I’m really contributing much here with my opinion, I’m not one to add to the garbage as so many other people are documenting their experience and it’s nonsense, no one cares and we’re all doing the same thing. We’re all inside, or not. Those who are out think they’re heroes, those who are in think their heroes and it’s vomitous.
I guess I’m just here typing because it’s what I do. Not for now, but for later.
I woke to the sad news yesterday that a huge influence of mine, John Prine died the night prior. Such a devastating loss as he was a massive hero to me, I loved his music and was all-in on it all. I was lucky enough to see him live in Boston last year, it was hands down an amazing show. I’d say the best I’ve seen, not because he’s gone, but because it simply was. The way he danced, livened things up, and moved me with his music. Ask anyone that knows me and I maintained this opinion months ago, it was by far the best show I’ve seen since I can remember. What a lovely soul who gave us so much that left too soon, we didn’t deserve him.
I’m lucky enough to be able to work remotely these days. I realize I am lucky in that way and I can’t imagine what people are going through who are unemployed right now. With how things look, very small businesses and even some larger ones might not open back up at all. I imagine more than a few were already running a tight ship, months out of businesses will surely shutter a few doors. It’s sad.
But enough about them, more about me. I’ve been reading a heck of a lot more, did I mention that last time? Probably. I’ve finished two, working on the third. That may be a shrug to most people, but for me it’s a pleasant change! I haven’t been reading as much as I’d like, too much else to do, or not do. Although I haven’t been as productive as I should be. I can’t focus on one task at a time, my brain is mush. But it’s always been mush after all, hasn’t it? I can’t remember a time it wasn’t, although I know there was one.
Anyway, I’ll shut up now, nothing much more to update, until next time.
