My poor wife left soon after 10 a.m. this morning to catch a bus to begin her fairly long commute to work at the Thai restaurant where she works part-time ─ I think that Fridays may be her only usual full day. It was very lightly raining at the time, but the afternoon was to be a mix of brilliant sunshine and cloud.
What I found a little annoying concerning her resigned departure was that both of her sons were home. The youngest (23 years old) didn't have to work today, and the oldest (26 years old) was probably being delinquent and skipped going to work ─ so one of them could easily have driven her.
But I guess they were too busy playing video games or watching videos on their computers.
When she left, my younger brother and I had just begun to watch Odessa Orlewicz's latest video posted just yesterday: April 1- Liberty Talk episode- I Interview The Two Small Business Heros Putting On The Small Business Protest At Vancouver City Hall Tomorrow.
Of course, that protest was taking place today, and I happened to catch at least a half hour of Odessa's live Facebook feed before I finally sought a nap at 3:45 p.m.
I wish that I could have attended, but I don't drive, and I refuse to mask up to use the SkyTrain. Actually, I can't stand using the SkyTrain anymore. Not by myself, anyway. I would need some companionship to make the wretchedly long and overcrowded trip bearable because the return journey becomes even worse.
At one point as I watched Odessa's live feed, I became somewhat overcome with emotion as I virtually walked with Odessa and the other protesters downtown ─ there must have been a couple of hundred of them. It made me feel even more isolated and impotent than I usually do, knowing that I have no means of participating in these events because I live out here in Surrey.
But returning to this latter morning, my brother and I also watched a video I had recorded. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the source for the one I had recorded, but this one appears to be the same, but with a different title: Chris Sky - How we can win this fight for freedom worldwide #JUSTSAYNO.
The video is 55 minutes in duration, and is taken from a far longer Alex Jones "Infowars" show.
I have watched quite a few videos featuring Chris Sky (not his last name), and I've grown to deeply respect and like the guy for his display of courage and self-confidence. I even watched the full video he posted live to Instagram when he was resisting arrest ─ as he sat in his car on his own home's property ─ by an absolute horde of zombie police. I think Chris claimed there may have been as many as 40 of the buggers, for there were many, many vehicles.
This occurred just a few weeks ago ─ maybe even in early March.
There are men and women like Chris and Odessa; and then there are the wholly isolated loners like myself. In my case, I think that I'm only going to be good for one final showdown after it's too late to change what's coming because I did not somehow become involved in the protests.
But what can I do? I'm 71 years old. I don't drive. My pension is never enough each month ─ I always go broke before the next payment arrives. I have so much debt that I will never live to see myself out of it barring a major lottery or sweepstakes win.
Basically, I'm just waiting until it's too late, and "they" come for me. I will then fight them alone, as usual ─ as viciously as I possibly can ─ to my death.
My brother knows what's happening, but he is unable to deviate from his daily routine of leaving here by mid-afternoon to resume his drinking somewhere with his drinking buddies and maybe his girlfriend Bev. There is no room in his alcoholic world for things like participating in protests ─ it is essential that he becomes drunk every day of his life.
He cannot even just once have a sober day and drive us to some protest event.
Lord, it's almost 7 p.m., and I want to have a beer or two myself while watching a little T.V. But I also want to have a bath, so I must call a halt to blogging for today.
