I have skipped an afternoon nap today, despite sunning in the afternoon for an hour, and then having a small meal. My wife ─ who had gone out early in the afternoon right ahead of my younger brother ─ was back home just before I finished that sunning around 3:50 p.m.
With her home, I did not have a meal as large as I likely would have had otherwise, and thus I did not feel as weighed down and logey as I no doubt would have, had I eaten freely.
It has been so darned hot! Sleeping has become even more difficult, and I leave some wet spots on the brown sheet that I have beneath me in bed.
But I do not have all that much time for this post today, so I am not going to heavily detail my day.
Nevertheless, I do want to cite the two shows that my brother and I watched beginning shortly after 10 a.m. this morning via our Android TV Box.
I led things off with a 66-minute video of pertinent interest to my brother and I as B.C. voters: The Librti Show Ep. 5 - Keith MacIntyre, BC Libertarian Party Leader - Are YOU a Libertarian?
I am 71 years old, and all of my voting life, I have only ever voted for the New Democratic Party both federally and provincially. But because of the stance both of those parties have vis-à-vis this phony COVID-19 pandemic ─ how the two parties are fully aligned with lockdowns, face masks, and ineffective and dangerous experimental 'vaccines' ─ I will no longer vote for either party.
In fact, I had resolved to voluntarily not even vote in a next election ─ something I have never before done ever since I have been eligible to vote. And I still may not vote, even though I do find myself very much liking what I have learned of Keith MacIntyre and the B.C. Libertarian Party.
You see, the last election I was able to vote in was a provincial election. And although I voted for the NDP because I did not want the Liberals or Conservatives in power here in the province, I did not realize that the NDP would prove themselves to be just like the other political parties ─ spineless, uninformed weaklings who won't research anything for themselves, and who allow unelected health officers to run the province and the nation.
The problem about provincial elections for my brother and I is that ─ in the last election ─ we only had two options to vote for in our electoral district: a Liberal or an NDP candidate. We could not have voted for any other party even if we desperately wanted another party in power.
But we were okay with the NDP at the time; but that is now no longer the case.
I would like to vote Libertarian in any next election. But if there is no such option here in my riding for lack of a representative, then I simply will have to refrain from voting.
If something similar were to play out in a federal election, at least I have a backup option to the Libertarians ─ the People's Party of Canada.
I had been thinking that the PPC would be my sole party of choice federally (I don't think they have a provincial option), but I have come to understand that even though they are against lockdowns and mandatory face masks, the are still foolishly pro-'vaccine'.
As a result, they can only be my secondary option.
Anyway, it was a good interview ─ and I find myself aligned with the Libertarians entirely because of it. And now I want to learn more about them.
When the interview ended, I then tuned in a 2018 movie that I have been curious about over the past few days: Wildlife.
The 1960 'period piece' about a disintegrating nuclear family unit of three certainly proved interesting enough; and the three main actors warrant acclaim for their roles: Ed Oxenbould as the teen whose perspective the viewer was primarily involved in; Carey Mulligan as the mother no longer able to understand and accept that her husband could leave them to fight forest fires for a few months at a dollar an hour because he was too proud to work at anything locally that was beneath his self-esteem; and Jake Gyllenhaal as the father and husband who had no idea what leaving his family to fight forest fires was going to cost him.
However, although the viewer is left at the movie's conclusion with an understanding of what lay ahead for the three characters insofar as them being a family was concerned, it was still too ambiguous for my brother and I to find satisfaction with ─ or at least, that was more the case for my brother.
We both want our movies to have definitive endings. We do not appreciate sitting through a movie that leaves us without a true conclusion ─ there must be no loose ends.
I was more able to accept that the future for the family as a unit was clear enough ─ they were no longer a family unit. But my brother desired fuller clarity.
I definitely would have appreciated that as well.
My rating? Yes, it was a good enough movie, but not worth paying to see in a theatre (as my brother declared).
That is all I feel necessary to report on today.
