Conformity is not always easy to see.

My blogs have a large enough audience that I am not eager to seek out a publisher.  I would't want to give those book banners the pleasure of rejecting me anyway.

There is a gamer group that gives out a BRUTALITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD....wtf


There is an art to being a home body!

There is a high level of visual and musical sophistication.  The living is based on nurturing yourself in your own environment, as if an invisible nurse is on duty,

If a new approach to positive thinking is wanted I caution about that.

That way is unknown to most people and can't  be reduced to a small paragraph for guidance.  Red alert.

Water, water..

Where are you now?

Put these dry grasses to peace

A little angel energy sometime

Stop these haters now

This time is change

Perhaps I'll find a cloud

When my time comes

And the wheel turns round

There in my imagination

Inside a magic fountain

Alive.

I don't like abusers


Hold your breath now..

The boulder is coming around

It's having a good time

Rocking out behind the scenes

Freaks

Yes the sky is secondary

When you got to drive

Trolls can be into love

And do magic tricks

The rabbit runs

Hides.

If you must know,

my nose is incredible!!!

If this were a contest,

Fragile by George Skaroulis would be a winner in video for top creation in the effects of color.

Only...

That is a rain cloud silly

There are no rainbows

It is gray damp dreary

Lots of competors

And what for?


To become Donald Trump

Of course!!!

Yes, some away from home spots must be gaining attentionYes, a fascinating "Third-Place Revival" is actively happening, but the new spaces gaining massive attention look completely different than the dark bars or quiet cafes of the 1991–2011 era.Instead of passive spaces where you just sit and consume a product, the away-from-home spots booming right now are built entirely around shared activities and low-pressure physical participation. People are looking for connection, but they want a reason to be in the room together.Several specific away-from-home spots are commanding a massive wave of cultural attention:1. Activity-First Social ClubsThe Run Club Boom: Organized run clubs and walking groups have completely transformed into the "new bar scene". Platforms like Strava reported that new club creations nearly quadrupled recently, turning exercise into a primary venue for low-stakes mingling and post-workout socializing.Board Game Cafes: Places like Sip & Play in Brooklyn or Game Point in Nashville are surging. Having a physical board game on the table lowers the social anxiety of talking to strangers; the activity provides an immediate, built-in conversation piece.2. Wellness Spaces as Nightlife AlternativesThe Cold Plunge Culture: Wellness centers and bathhouses like Othership are exploding as alcohol-free alternatives to the weekend bar. Instead of drinking in a dark lounge, groups of people are gathering late into the night for structured sauna, breathwork, and ice bath circuits.Experiential Grocery Socials: Grocery stores built to encourage lingering are trending heavily as neighborhood hangouts. Local, independent, and high-end grocers are embedding tasting bars, private chef pop-ups, and cooking classes right into the shopping aisles, turning the weekly errand into a social event.3. The "Silent" and Independent Bookstore ResurgenceThe Barnes & Noble Rebound: Once left for dead by the internet, Barnes & Noble is opening dozens of new stores because people are craving the tactile act of physical browsing and discovery alongside other humans.Silent Book Clubs: Local bookshops are seeing packed houses for "Silent Book Clubs". People show up to a cafe or bar, read their own physical books in companionable silence for an hour, and then grab a drink and chat afterward. It provides the perfect balance of a digital detox with built-in community.
