Get to know you better questions - Learning Mentor Edition!
1. Who are your heroes/sheroes and why?
"Look forward to AND dreading?" Interesting question. Probably death. If we're honest, we all do on some level.
3. What 3 words best describe you?
Flexible and understanding when it comes to scheduling and issues of personal importance.
5. If you did not have to worry about money, what would you spend time doing? What would you never stop doing?
move residence, don't have any
7. What is one thing on your bucket list and why?
Visit Kutna Hora, the church of bones, because it looks morbidly beautiful
8. How do you like to be recognized?
Visually
9. If you had a genie and could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be?
"Born Like This, Into This" - A 27 volume series into the life and thoughts of Paul Skow. Because it's the opening line from my favorite Bukowski poem
I was a bit critical there in the corner. I'm not sure what they expected by giving some team members these. The questions are slightly probing, which is the purpose of course, but it's friggin' Target. I'm not sure I feel comfortable sharing that stuff with them, and I'm not sure Target would be comfortable with my answers.
Out of nowhere I'm rewatching The Office (USA). It's on Netflix. It sucked me in. Jim and Pam are fucking goddamn adorable.
Saturday 7oz of fungus made its way into my stomach and I promptly vomited it up a half hour later. :-( I really wanted to have a psychedelic experience, and not a lake of vomit on my floor. What a waste of money. Actually the past few times I've tried having a psychedelic experience it hasn't happened. Even after I stopped taking Tramadol. It's likely my anti-depressant meds, but of course I'm not going to stop those. It's not something I do a lot but when I do, I'd like it to work.. I keep hearing about the effects psychedelics can have on treating depression and confronting your personal shit. It's happened to me before, and I'd like for it to happen again.
I wrote a kinda shitty short poem about antinatalism the other day:
serene, comfort, nothing to gain,
drifting, content, in everything.
involunteered, into malaise,
surprise, surpise! welcome to pain.
absent, empty, don't understand,
fake it, make it, you've been humanned.
grow old, wait death, don't let it show,
best part, of life, being unborn.
The syllable count matches in every line. That was a bitch to do. But I'm kinda proud I kinda pulled it off, working in those parameters. Even if it is simple.
I cannot get enough of Portishead. All I've been listening to at work is trip-hop stuff. Goddamn Portishead is good.
1. Who are your heroes/sheroes and why?
- Henry Rollins - intelligent, open-minded, self-taught, and the manliest man to ever man
