The year came and went. It was truly a bittersweet experience. Filled with adventure,wonder and excitement with some amounts of tragedy, horror and drama. Just as in 2021 Christmas holiday I ended up getting sick again and was unable to really do anything during the three days off I had. I used one of those stupid covid tests the job gave us and my results came back negative. I was kinda expecting to test positive because this was a pretty intense affliction. I had a headache. My throat was all kinds of weird and I kept blowing my nose like literally every five minutes. Could a snot dimension somehow exist inside me and that's another one of my freaky mutant powers. What are my other freaky mutant powers? Heightened strength, smell, taste, and hearing. (Sometimes freaky balance) Heightened reflexes/reaction time. Empathic (Incoming and outgoing. Often hard to control) ability. Regenerative talent. Ability to sense spirits. Some degree of time manipulation. Precognitive. Sometimes lucid dreaming. (Thats where you take control in your dreams and make things you want to happen happen) Reality manipulation. There's also this talent to inspire others. But I guess when you think outside the box and ask all the questions including the uncomfortable ones thats bound to happen(?)
Since I was unable to go to Disney like I planned I ended up going to Universal Studios with Sir Nathan The Unpredictable. I swear the more time I spend with Sir Nathan the more things about him that make me go...wait a minute...is this guy really someone I should call a friend? I suspect many of us use the word "friend" loosely. So there was this incident in particular... As we were walking towards an attraction I noticed this guy crying his eyes out. He was sobbing so hard and I could tell he was in so mcu pain. I stopped to look as did some others just really trying to see what was going on and to make sure he was okay. A young hispanic guy came over to hug and provide some comfort. Nathan was so irritated that I stopped and seemed completely devoid of any compassion. I am not kidding when I say even when I got home there were times the sound of that guy sobbing crept into my head and it came with a terrible feeling. Also sometimes dude can be VERY critical. It could be at times he says certain things just to get a rise out of me. Like he straight up said Jonothan Majors is ugly and refused to back down when I told him how negative and mean-spirited it is to say something like that about someone. We got into it also because he went on about how Hollywood only casts dude because he's ugly. I kept reminding Nathan that just because he says someone is ugly does not in fact make it true and that is only his opinion. I have noticed alot of that going around. Instead of saying "I think" or "Its my opinion" people simply state something as fact. Like critics with reviews and often folks go along instead of trying to think for themselves. We have all done this but I have noticed more and more that my own tastes tend to go against things these people say. Just last month this game came out called "High on life" which critics trashed but meanwhile it was loved by the gaming community. Myself included.
Tonight (this morning) here at work I got a quick lesson in compassion. There was this guy I saw lurking aound the property. A young brother. Dark skinned. He wore a hoodie and carried a skateboard. I noticed him setting up some card board around one of the more secluded entrances and was calling for some guards on patrol to remove him. The same guard who is one of my soda stealing suspects called out on the radio telling us she had already handled the situation. She'd told the kid since it was raining he was okay to sleep there until it stopped raining. So I guess I can message the ninjas I sent to her house and let them know their "assignment" has been called off. Much respect to her for giving a damn about another soul in need. Lets me know there is still some good left in this world.
