| Sadly, this handsome ginger I called Viking has been missing since Jan. 2nd :( |
The local dictatorship extended the lockdown several times - I've lost count of how many times, first it was until Midwinter, then January 10th, then end of January, then February 14th, now March 7th... so yeah, my gym remains closed - but I sure haven't missed a single day of workout all winter!
Even in the rain, and in the snow as well, and when the monstrous deepfreeze came just over a week ago, which fortunately has ended now. Only on those coldest days did I even wear gloves to exercise on the cold metal bars. It only made me hardier than ever, even though I'm not built for the cold. Amid all this madness, with all governments using that plague as an excuse to go full totalitarian, at least it made me discover what I'm capable of, and it drove me outdoors even more than ever.
It's sad that my traveling days may very likely be over, due to that plague - and by plague I'm actually referring more to the restrictions and harassment that has been put in place using the actual disease as an excuse. I may never see Belfast again, or even Amsterdam, in this lifetime. It's best to stay under the radar as much as possible and avoid places and situations where such harassment is applied.
I may even lose my gym membership permanently, if the dictatorships go ahead with requirements for vaccination IDs and such shenanigans, which I will never have.
I sometimes wish I had some support, but I only have the little furry people.
I recently found this Viking guy on Youtube, and I wish I had some friends like him. I've come to like watching his videos, in which he's usually out in the Norwegian wilderness by himself, talking about his thoughts on the global situation. He definitely is a voice of reason amidst all this insanity. Like myself he doesn't have a smartphone - he got rid of his, while myself I've never had one - and like myself he takes refuge in Nature. Here's a random pick of his more recent videos.
