April Blog Challenge Day 11 (What If)

Something you always think, "What if" about.

There is the obvious of, "What if I won the lotto." I think a lot of people I know have thought that one. The thing is, I almost never get a ticket, so the chances are ever lower than the average person. Anything over $15 million and I could help my small group of friends here in town be independent for the rest of their days without a worry (unless they did something stupid with it). I could also help out the animal shelter and make a scheduled annual donation to a charity I believe in here in Saskatchewan. A nicer apartment and a very powerful computer would be a great improvement in my life. I don't want the bother of a house to be honest, just more room to spread out and an actual dining aria to eat on like a normal person. A nicer TV of course and all the streaming services. I'd also get a nice tablet to read books on. Mine is dead, and I honestly can't afford to spend over $100 on a new one. Maybe some travel would be in the plans. I'd like to get my drivers license back as I let it laps from lack of use, and do a few trips around Canada.

The Importance of Coffee to Me

Image
Do I enjoy coffee? Well yes I do and rather a lot. To me the act of making coffee in my Moka Pot and then consuming it while it is still hot - hot to the point it needs to be slurped, is a great pleasure and a great joy. It enriches my life to say the least. It is almost to the point of being spiritual to me. It's not just a wakeup in the morning, it's a start to my day with a nice warm hug from a mug of coffee. I got into coffee as a teen when friends and I would go to a truck stop and have coffee. It became part of my social life for many years. I have to say I did not drink it at home for a very long time. Then all the sudden in my late 30's, I desired to have it in my home. I got a drip maker and since then I've had many coffee makers including a fancy pod machine given to me by a great friend. But not one of them came close to the joy that is the Moka Pot to me. I have to say, I've cut back on my coffee intake and most days, I only have the one mug of coffee ou...

If you could become with one fictional character (book, show, or movie) who would it be? Lestat de Lioncourt from Interview with the Vampire for sure. But with a better outcome in his existence. I know he can be a complete twat at times, but I don't think there is a more cool character that will come to mind any time soon. A close second would be Doctor Who as played by Matt Smith (11th Doctor). He had style in spades, with a hint of being pansexual, but not a certainty of it. The energy of this incarnation was I think the best of all of them. But I'd still rather be Lestat.

Write one thing that made me feel loved today. These shortbread cookies by Walker's. A friend sent them to me as a gift off of my Amazon Wishlist and I feel very loved by this. She is one of the nicest people I've ever encountered. She goes far out of her way to help other people. Right now she is very loaded down with helping family and it's a big deal in her life. But she took the time to show me some love and I appreciate it deeply. She is one of the people I love like family that I've never met face to face. I'd love to have a coffee with her some day - but It's 99% of a chance I will never be able to do that. She is a blessing to all who knows her and one in many millions.

Is your favorite attribute about yourself physical or non-physical? Non-physical. I am rather fond of my ability to think better than average. I hate to say it, but I think the average person these days has no idea how to correctly process and discern information. They just believe what ever is told them for the most part. As for problem solving, forget it for most people under 40 these days it seems. Yes some young folk are totally on the ball and can think properly, but most, not so much. It also seems that a lot of people in my generation have just stopped thinking and just go with whatever is fed them from the sources they prefer - be it complete bull shit and obviously fake as hell, or not. Thought is not important to the average person anymore. They rely on being told everything.
