This is me publishing from my phone…

It is mid October and we are heading into colder weather. My new job is going well.

I’m leaving My housekeeping position for a new opportunity at Medical device Reprocessing.

It’s a little confusing. The position I accepted is full time evenings, but for the first while I will be training on days. And, the new job won’t start for at least a couple of weeks. It all feels like a big rush to sit and wait.

I’m rereading “Atomic Habits” again. I always seem to get something new every time I read it. This time it was the part about what kind of person I want to be.

Good question…..

This is a test to make sure everything in g is still working.

This is a difficult question. I’m not including any compilation albums or movie soundtracks. I’m going to show you the album covers that got a lot of play from me as I was growing up. I only really bought albums in the nineties. It was a very confusing time for me. I didn’t have direction, I didn’t have purpose, and I didn’t have a goal…. Maybe I still don’t. But, back then, it BOTHERED me. I think I was angry, or at least… I wanted to be angry, because I thought I was supposed to be angry.

I guess I would have to pick The Rage Against The Machine album as my all-time favourite. I almost never listen to it nowa days, but it really impacted me as a kid, and it still resonates deep down in my soul.

Fun fact. My oldest son is named after the lead singer of Rage Against The Machine.

Lots of love

Ummm…. Well, what exactly am I preparing for…?

*No answer*

Okay so food, water, shelter, heat…. Maybe mobility, at least initially.

The idea is to make a sustainable environment, preferably within a community. Generally speaking life is easier with other people around. A huge factor is knowing how long you are going to be in a state of emergency. For short term emergences, you could just pack a “go bag”. It would look like a camping backpack. And you would pack it similarly.

For long term emergencies, you need to think about a destination. Some place with a somewhat steady source of food, water, shelter, and heat. As previously stated. Luckily, North America has tons of that. Clothing is tricky, but you don’t need much.

Remember the rule of three. You can go without air for 3 minutes. You can go without water for 3 days. You can go with out food for 30 days. These are general guidelines, your mileage may vary. Being uncomfortable can’t kill you, so focus on the important things.

Other people, are important. Sharing is caring.

In no particular order, and I am worried that I have forgotten some….

• Matrix
• Fight Club
• The Bourne Identity
• The Dark Crystal
• District 9
• O Brother, Where Art Thou
• Juno
• Max Max: Fury Road
• Rise of the Planet of the Apes
• Wall-E

I cut a lot of movie that I didn’t really want to. These ones are almost alphabetical because I was going through my movie binder, which is in alphabetical order.

It’s strange, movies deserve context. How mature was I when I saw that movie? Is the movie a small part in a greater picture? Was I sad when I watched that movie? Happy? Angry? All these things figure into it. But…

I have been told that I do have a good instinct when it comes to picking movies, and I’m inclined to believe anything nice that is said about me.
