 I know I should be more mum's the word about upcoming podcast details, but when a musician is giving me the opportunity to have a private show during an interview, I feel a little geek'ed out. You don't even know how happy I am right now. Oh, you will come on my podcast, AAAANNND perform. jeez, thank you, Universe. 🙏 I am grateful.  
 PS: One of the many positive references I had received.

 Last but not least for this photo collection show. A random picture I found in my computer file deletion journey. 

Take care. Be well. Wish your favorite superhero a happy birthday. xo

 Over the next few months I will be complaining loudly into the void how much I hate exercise. I r... 
 i love cardigans.  
 I went through a phase where I painted buildings or towns, but they were abandoned. If I put these on nostr shops, would anyone want to buy one of these?

 I was living in my traveling apartment (my built-out car with a bed, kitchen, and storage) and made it to Moab, Utah. This was one of my favorite shots. This couple was kind enough to pose for me. They were looking in that direction, so I asked if I could take a picture of the back of them enjoying the view. They said yes. #vanlife

 I once volunteered at animal sanctuary. Ideally, this would be my world. But I have to live in some kind of prison cell of a life that the government created. :D

 lol I hate working a fiat job. I would love to have a podcast and a big old farm with rescued animals or something. I just need a change.  
 I would love to try it out. I have a very busy mind.  
 I was really good at getting people to give me their credit cards on the streets of New York and Brooklyn all in the name of The Nature Conservancy. But let's question my character. :D 

Although I felt icky doing that, I didn't last very long trying to do sales pitches while people are trying to make their way to their destinations. After I made a $100 or so monthly contributor, I was out. lol 

My sales skills only work if I believe it in, and if I stop believing in it, I leave. I felt like a car salesman. I would probably be very good as a car salesman, but I would also die inside. 

I hate selling things I can't back. AND I hate pushing things on people. If you don't want it, I don't want to make you believe you need it.

 I think my key extension was getting corrupted because i was running out of room on this laptop. I just dumped everything in the trash and now it's normal again. FYI 
 Thank you. That was unexpected. Xo That zap will go towards to cost of the next SoupBox Listening Party. 🥳  
 I've been hosting them every other Friday on zap.stream

Although I really kind of dig hivetalk.org 

Next one is November 29th, maybe 7pm EST

 BUT dad, we like to be confused to where we stand here  
 @The Bitcoin Painter  You should paint THE WORLD tarot card, number 21 for all the bitcoin nerds. (if you havent already) 
 Movie theatres should host longer movies, like 4 to 6 hours. Create a whole new experience. 

I went to the movies last night to see Code Red or whatever it was called, a Christmas movie about saving Santa. 

As I was sitting in a nearly empty movie theatre, I was thinking they should create longer movies. Two hours for $60 is a lot, but $60 for 6 hours is better. A place to hang out for longer. Have intermissions for snacks and bathroom breaks and stretches. 

As I am writing this, maybe babysitting nights or camp nights....send your kids to the movies for a night. 

Anyways, change the time frame to offer a full night away from home experience.

 we paid for popcorn, soda, and three tickets.  
 It was about 9 dollars a ticket, we bought three. Then there was the $13 combo for popcorn and soda, and about $11 for two additional sodas. Yes, we could make the trip cheaper by not purchasing snacks. However, we did, and I am estimating we spent $60 for the outing, including gas to get there and back. 
 that is true, no one was sitting next to me, so i could raise the armrest and put my feet up 
 I wrote it fast because I didn't think anyone was reading it. I will have to be more thorough in my argument (I won't). Honestly I wrote it because I get ideas in my head, and if I don't share it, I will keep thinking about it and it's a waste of thought in my day. I could spend all day thinking about how I would create activities at my theatre (I don't have a theatre). 

This theatre we went to had premade popcorn, no butter 😭 yeah I am guilty about the candy as well.  
 When I lived in another part of the country, they had table service, you could eat like you were at a restaurant. That was fun. We would get a bunch of apps and share at the table. 

 
 I love food and movies, together even better. Lol they should start parking food trucks at theatres. #mybrainisonaroll 
 I got an idea: food trucks parked right outside outside, and the movie theatre gets a percentage of all sales from the vendors.  
 Not the one I went to. It was a sorry little concession stand. It had popcorn and soda, and the popcorn was premade. LOL 
 I get it, but I would let them bring the food in the theatre with a food truck pass. If it gets scanned then the movie theatre makes money, let's say $1 for every $20 spent. The food trucks get to park free and will have exclusive access to our patrons.

I don't know.  
 here me out, the food trucks belong to the movie theaters.  
 For all you Jack Groupies, his birthday is tomorrow :D 🎂

 I don't know if the Brits can handle all this flavor :D

 I had a dream I was at a party; I crafted a bbq martini, using bbq extract and vodka, but then it turned out to be coffee extract and woke up. ☕GM!  
 Same and I want a party. lol :D  
 Lovely weekend. GN! 
 I can't wait for the honesty of this new administration.

 Follow your own inner guidance. Reflect. Completion of projects after a lot of hard work. Shift into a positive direction.

 HAHAHA a 9th book came just now in a delivery 

I have a lot of reading to do.

 The library is a secret gem.

 GM, 

There was a bug in the zap.stream back end which might have caused stream keys to be leaked... 
 Oh I see why I had to change it now  
 Every other Friday, I have a podcast listening party  
 I think this is the only fight i am excited about
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqpqrep4phdx0hs6v3fynl0glp52c6skaqmgra23hyzyz5pnd8gmcqqsrfqv6mpata6wgx5x78vgxy4h4klkvkujhfrzd3kkk7qj9um26djcqxfzpq 
 I think it was a neutral fight on purpose. 

Its either you beat an ol' man or you get beat by an ol' man....neither happened. 

It was sparring for 8 rounds and then Paul won by a couple extra points. Which is fair. 

It didn't leave any room for rematch, so my next guess is Paul is going to pick another big name person. 

Tyson left with his dignity, because he older, and didnt get knocked down. And has a great bum we will talk about for a bit. 
 I feel like we need a nostr painter's expertise on this
