Drinking wine found on the side of the road

This is about three things: drinking a bottle of wine I found on the side of the road in a pile of rubbish; accepting a challenge from a KZbin subscriber who said I should sit in the middle of a field and tell stories; and answering questions put to me by friends on Insta. I reminisce about old hats, past films, first crush, show films that are either coming up or not-quite-right, and bang on about all sorts of things that are all pretty interesting.

[@captainblocker4324]

literally my exact thoughts as i was watching this

[@paulw5039]

Even sadder that most people can be that happy, if they stopped actively self-sabotaging. Step 1: stop being envious and consequently bitter about people who have more than you or are more accomplished than you. That is, from what I can see, one of the biggest causes of unnecessary and self-inflicted misery. Amplified greatly by social media. It accomplishes nothing except making you unhappy.

[@frits8986]

Don’t know if it’s realistic to strive for happiness. Feeling joy throughout the day doing stuff I love does more for me than chasing happiness.

[@stephanvh4119]

You know, people say that it's all the critters in Australia that you should be worried about. Upon seeing a man pickup a bottle of wine from a pile of junk on the side of the road and then proceeding to drink it, has made me realize that maybe it's the Aussies themselves we should fear!

You probably won't see my comment, but your description of your headspace when you run is the way my brain works/ed when I walk. From my teens (I'm 57) walking long distances was my escape. I don't consider the distance, nor anything else. I just walk. And I'm free. Not too long ago I was averaging 15 kilometres a day. I know that's not huge, but it worked for me. I had to balance walking with working and home. If given the choice, I'd just keep walking.

Beau you remind me of my dad so much, he also had a PHD and spent all his time tinkering and building and reading. It's really nice to see that again, and it's inspired me to not only get off my ass and start things but to see them through, a hard thing for many and what seems to be a strength of yours just as it was my fathers.

[@milomullins553]

I always talked to myself as a kid. My parents made me feel like there was something wrong with me and my mom told me it was scaring her so I had to learn to internalize my conversations. I only feel comfortable doing it while alone or in my car. It's really comforting to see someone as confident and successful as you to know that I'm not crazy.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Actually it is supposed to be good for your mental health to talk to yourself. Plus being perfectly normal. I had a conversation about it with my friends. They all talk to themselves. I use it to organise myself. "Well what I am going to do is x & then I am going to do y. Oh, no actually I will do z." When I have completed tasks I tell myself 'well done'. 'That's got that job finshed'. I don't get a lot of acknowledgement from others so I give it to myself..

The runs and kayaks are great but I'm really drawn to the ones that come to you seemingly on a whim (like my new favorite with the big gum). Maybe because they're so novel. Poetry that feels forced is one of the biggest things to turn me off to a beautiful story. But the stuff in your pieces is just very earthly and naturally reflective, never over-stated. Hope maybe we get an interesting quirky one that you just have to include in this upcoming year's plan. Looking forward to all the great 14 vids you're gonna make.
