Hellooooo! Happy Thursday! What is something you are absolutely passionate about?

Davekp comments on Jun 25, 2020:

Rotational Passion.. good name for a band. Lol At this point many of my passions have become determinations. No less intense but the practice of them has a I more directional feel. More goal oriented. I am determined to become a better guitarist, as an example.

Happy Monday! What’s the best way to discover new music?

Davekp comments on Jun 22, 2020:

The internet has an abundance of platforms that specialize in any kind of music you can think of. One YouTube channel I visit often is “Underrated Album’s”. Independent artists upload current work the you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s hit and miss as far as being “good” or not but the thing about new music is giving it a chance. 😁

Have you ever skinny dipped with a group?

Davekp comments on Jun 16, 2020:

Sure. I spent a couple of months touring with a local band out of Moncton in the late 90’s.. “The Great Balancing Act”..3 guys, 2 girls.. as their sort of video guy/ extra pair of roadie hands. When driving to Halifax to do gigs we would stop at a couple of different water spots for an impromptu naked swim. I was in my mid 30s at that point and they were all much younger. I always felt very privileged to be included as part of their inner circle.

Happy Monday! Do you prefer to watch movies in the theater or in the comfort of your own home?

Davekp comments on Jun 15, 2020:

I'm used to watching at home now and with a 65" tv the scope is cinema adequate. m,That said.. going to new big screen events like a new Star Wars is far better at a theater. And of course film festivals have to be attended in the real deal. The trick for me and theaters is to pick a showing where as few people as possible will be attending. I don't stand in lines for premieres and such.

This is what happens in Argentina when a Live TV show goes too far.

Hi, I'm new to the group.

Davekp comments on Jun 14, 2020:

Hi.. welcome to the group. A difficult emotional place to find yourself in. I sympathize. You didn't specifically ask for advice but a couple of things occured to me while reading your post.. so use or ignore my response as you wish. As with anything that causes significant stress or triggers mental health issues maybe try backing away from situations like gender reveal parties until you are more capable of handling the happiness of others concerning children. Personal well being frequently involves coping strategies that include avoidance or minimizing attendance at celebratory family/ friend events. As an example, people dealing with alcoholism stop going to parties for a period but can eventually be around people who are drinking again as their personal strength grows and new patterns of behaviour take root. We live in times of unparalleled communication possibilities. Make an appearance at these types of events via FaceTime or Skype.. wish your well wishes and leave it at that for now. And speaking of "over time".. the good news in your situation, as I see it, is you are only 25. You do have time to find a partner who will have the desire to have children with you. Of course you need to be in the right frame of mind to attract the right kind of mate. Keep working on coming to terms of the reality of your current situation while trying to establish mentally for yourself the possibility of a brighter future. And this brighter future may very well include the child you know already exists.

Happy Saturday! I'm out shopping with my daughter because she's almost out of bras.

Davekp comments on Jun 13, 2020:

I don't think people think about me enough to assume anything.. hardee-har-har.But I suppose if you knew where I was from you might assume I like hunting and fishing. Hunting no. But I did do a bit of trapping in my early teens with an uncle.. beaver, muskrat, etc. Fishing? I do it either for the company I am with or the rarity of the type of fishing. Like going to a particular salmon river to use fly or spending a day in an ice shanty hooking smelt. But I'm not really an outdoors sportsman like so many of the guys I grew up with.

Happy Friday! Would you live in a tiny home?

My father kept a jar of raisins soaking in gin for such things. He ate a dozen a day. He claimed it alleviated that kind of pain. I dunno.. he wasn't a gin drinker for sure but he also didn't have gout or inflammation issues in general. He also swore by keeping a bar of soap under the covers at the foot of his bed to deal with "jumpy leg" while he slept. Worked for him.. hope it may help you. :)

Davekp comments on Jun 1, 2020:

With a couple of exceptions the people I interact with here I don’t follow on other platforms. But.. I have 4 different Instagram accounts and each of them reflect a somewhat different slant on who I am. 2 of them are simply characters. Not really me at all.

Davekp comments on May 24, 2020:

Love Camus. Love the book. It’s on my shelf, handy. The image of the cudgel hovering over the town is, to me, one of the strongest Existential moments of the 20th century. It completely sets up the angst associated with urban living as almost an internment camp. I staged and directed Sartre’s “No Exit” at university. A little light entertainment for the masses. Lol I don’t think people quite knew what to make of it.

Good score!! ( haha music pun there lol ) Even though Yamaha, as a brand name, isn't as swanky as a Washburn or an Ibanez they certainly do the trick. I've had my Yamaha FG-340 for over 30 years and it gives a great, warm sound and never an issue with tonality. I added a pickup a couple of decades ago. It's a fun instrument to play. Enjoy your new toy :)

Happy Thursday Friends! What’s the coldest you’ve ever been?

Davekp comments on May 14, 2020:

Hard to pinpoint the coldest I have been, as opposed to the coldest environment or day I have experienced. Growing up in a northern town, but certainly not Arctic by any means, -25 to -30 for days on end was not unusual. But I think the coldest was a day ice fishing on the Bay.. the temp was -45 with windchills hitting -70.. I was in a shanty but nevertheless, with no heat source accept a 60 watt light bulb, when you opened a beer you had about 2 minutes to drink it before it turned to slush in the bottle. When I tossed the live fish out the door it flash froze in mid air before it hit the ice. The coldest I have been personally is just about anytime I’ve gone swimming in the Atlantic. The temperature is usually mid 60s to mid 70’s. Fifteen to 20 minutes is a good test of your mettle. The signs of hypothermia can show up quickly depending on how you are feeling that day. Super refreshing on the heat of summer though. Lol That’s a 😎pic btw.. I wonder what the girl looking in your direction is thinking? She looks unimpressed. And she’s taking note of something. Are you wearing underwear ?🤣🤣🤣

Davekp comments on May 12, 2020:

This sounds like a question for someone in their 20's or someone with an actual social life. haha I have worked with 3000 people for the last 15 years and can't count one of them as a friend outside of work. Friendly yes but not friends. This site is probably the closest I've come to "building a new friend base" in decades. But even here.. I was approached yesterday for the first time by someone that I've left comments on their comments. Thought I was having a "Hi, what are you all about?" first step to acquaintance type conversation. When I asked her name she made a 3 guess game out of guessing her name, which of course I did not accomplish. In the end she wouldn't tell me. So.. wtf, right? Pretty tough to shovel snow turned to ice. :( I have 4 or 5 individuals on Instagram that I visit online regularly but it's me reaching out 99% of the time. At this point I just take it for granted that it's something about me.. not everybody else. But I honestly don't know what it is. Believe me I have reflected. I think I'm friendly, I think I'm helpful, I think I have interesting things to offer a friendship. I dunno, I'm coming to the conclusion all those good things I THINK about myself are delusions of Personality Grandeur and there is just something about me that's either really unpalletable or super annoying. My son Ben has said I'm abrasive at times. And I can see that but really.. not on a 24/7 basis and everybody gets to be that way once in a while. . I dunno.. blah, blah, blah... I take a little solice in the fact that even the ultra popular die alone. lol

I dunno.. being depressed can for sure lead to lack of motivation to clean your surroundings and your personal being.. but being a messy person doesn’t really indicate depressive symptoms or behaviours.

Davekp comments on May 4, 2020:

No idea what you mean by "when trying to focus on unrelated tasks".. and by insults do you mean insulting myself? I use self deprecation frequently when I am in the Director or Teacher role simply to put others at ease. It's helpful to elevate the experience and knowledge of others when I need their expertise. An example would be hiring (or asking) someone to create a drawing for me to use on a project. I might say something like.. " Your talent is amazing.. love your style. I can't draw my way out of a wet paper bag. Thanks for being involved with my project." Again..don't know what you mean by "unrelated tasks. :)

However.. the majority of what we call ufo's are just that.. unidentified.. flying.. objects.. no getting around it if you don't know for sure what it is.. it is unidentified. lol But the vast majority of events can be explained. That said.. there is always one or two moments that give one serious pause..for me it's the footage that include rapid direction shifts in flight path. Say what you will about advanced technology.. no country on earth has the flight capability to make phenomenally fast right angle turns. we just don't. end of. The other clip that impresses me are the moments when the object is flying over water and dips below the surface with no discernible change in speed. Just WOW!! I am ecstatic there are such mysteries in my life .:)
