Can't believe the entire suburb of Footscray rests on Trent's bony little Italian shoulders

#make them proud Trent #this is make or break for the suburb #All the hard work in making footscray a respectable suburb since the 2016 premiership rests on Trent's shoulders #this is it #this is what all the hard work has been for #this is everything they've worked for #and it is now up to Trent to fly the flag for the suburb and make them proud #Trent has been chosen to be the face of Footscray #with his beautiful curls to live for #his face on all the billboards around Footscray motivating them all to be better and close the injecting rooms and choose love not drugs and #no I'm kidding that's really mean #I'm sorry Footscray #it is a great suburb #their train station is pretty cool #they've jazzed it up and it's right near Darcy Moore Street and #if Trent beats SA then they'll make him mayor of Footscray #give him the key to the suburb #closes down injecting rooms and turns them into gay bars #in honour of Bailey Smith the fallen dog #Bailey's been trying to shut down injecting rooms for years but then he died #he gets resurrected by the Daicos brothers and they teach him to walk again at the Collingwood football club #'where am i' Bailey groans squinting around at all the shining trophies and sparkling gym equipment #'you're home' Nick Daicos answers as Josh looks at himself in the mirror and combs his hair #Bailey's eyes light up at the full length mirror and gravitates toward it #okay this post is out of control #oh where was i #oh yeah Trent being the face of Footscray #The hero #scray saviour #i don't know

i am actually so tired of the way westerners treat eastern europeans

#fair warning for. a very very long ramble and rant in the tags. apologies #westerner or russian. no other option #westerner because the only thought they ever have is 'but they had universal housing so if you oppose ussr you oppose that'#(which is stupid becuse you can believe in that WITHOUT WANTING LIKE 6 COUNTRIES TO BE FORCED TO BE RULED OVER BY RUSSIA)#(SORRY FOR WANTING TO LIVE IN MY COUNTRY WITH MY HISTORY AND MY CULTURE AND NOT RUSSIA!!) (poland was a sattelite state but GOD)#or russian because they have a victim complex and are convinced that they deserve to rule over the entire damn world #'well you had universal housing so you had it easy' right yeah. okay. forget about like. everything else that happened #to eastern europeans during that time #forget about the things that are STILL issues all these years later not only in poland but like the more eastern countries too #its not about. the fact that the houses 'didnt have 3 bedrooms and a jacuzzi' in them. you DUMB SACK OF SHIT #god sorry. sorry. i also know so very little but like god damn i fucking live here. i didnt sit thru all that modern history #for some dumbfuck to say that 'ohhh only rich and american middle class people are happy the ussr was dissolved'#'oooh the dissolving of the ussr was illegal and the countries within it actually liked being there'#im just so fucking tired man i need to. i need to start killing people #and this is all not to mention that theyll say this stupid shit and then deny eastern europeans the things they actually did that were good #FUCK french people for trying to claim maria skłodowska. fuck americans for trying to claim the witcher as their own fantasy world #fuck the way the west is allowed to claim and destroy eastern european culture without any consequence because we dont matter enough #vaguely related but ill throw this in here since anyone finding it is unlikely and im scared of having this opinion #i think one underappreciated aspect of DE (which might be underappreciated because its not actually there and im stupid)#is that its pro-communist while still also giving some criticism to how it was handled and acknowledging that its still not perfect #which makes the writers much better communists than any self-proclaimed one ive ever met in my life who just worships the idea #perhaps its because the writers of the game were not white upper middle-class americans living in the suburbs. among other things #idk de is a game for people far smarter than me and i only played it once and im sure anyone who played it well can clock me as a bad perso #horrible horrible person even which is why im scared of mentioning it. but its an interesting thing. to me #the main thing is that im just not. im not far left enough i suppose. i agree communism in theory is a great idea. as far as i know it #(which isnt very far)#but chances of implementing it correctly in a way that doesnt take away from peoples happiness in other areas is. low. very low #i wrote a short essay about how utopias are inherently contradictory ideas once it wasnt very deep or good but like #you cant have universal happiness without restricting certain freedoms. and when those freedoms are resticted not everyone #will be happy. and then theyre unhappy they will have to be somehow removed or ignored

just talked to the guy whose airbnb i used to help clean and he is getting a new studio in the town i work in and it sounds like he would be willing to rent it to me for less than what i'm currently paying 👁️👄👁️

#its in the same building as a smoothie shop and theres a 3 bedroom upstairs but it can't be worse than the current suburb situation #he is a landlord/pastor (☠️) who lives in a whole other state which i obviously think is fundamentally kind of evil but you know #its like a mile from my workplace and walking distance to all kinds of things #what i really want is to live in the cute ass town in the opposite direction and it is not a feasible commute (its like a 1:15 hour drive)#but i can't even get an email response regarding jobs there so whatever #this is great because i have barely unpacked and still have all the boxes i used haven't even broken them down ajdhsksb #me

Movin' Out is my Piano Man I think it gets played way too much and I'm so tired of it. I still like it though lol. I'm still singing along every time.

#we were driving through the suburbs when we left new york a couple weeks ago #and my dad made a comment about the suburbs #and i just started doing movin' out as a monologue #it was great #i do love it #but god enough already #there are at least four better songs on that album

heyoooooooo

9, 14, 20, 26

9. Best childhood moment?

No single memory, but all my collective memories of going to visit my aunt and uncle at their lake-house are some of my favorites. I loved being on a boat and swimming is really the only way to get me physically active even now. But yeah, visiting there was always a blast and my favorite part of summer break as a kid.

14. What's something upcoming that you’re excited for?

Ngl, everyone in my fam has decided they're going to plan ALL they're events in fuckin October for some reason and I've just been trying to take it day by day recently. Honestly, my first thought was "for the holidays to be over" lol, because this shit is just getting started. FUCK THIS DRAFT THE TRAILER FOR SUBNAUTICA 2 JUST DROPPED AND THATS WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HOLY SHIT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

20. Tell us about a memory you hold close to your heart

Sneaking out to go star gazing on the roof with my best friend/partner ❤. I was still living with my folks at the time and they were still V E R Y helicopter-y even as I was going to college. I was finally getting fed up enough to start rebelling and around that time there was a small meteor shower going on that my partner's whole fam was planning to stay up for until like 3 A.M. He invited me and that might actually be the first time I've ever snuck out in the middle of the night. His fam turned in a bit earlier than they were intending, but myself and my partner stayed up until 4 just chatting and watching the shooting stars

26. If you could live anywhere with anyone you want, where would it be and who would you bring?

Nearby a lake ❤ with my partner. Ideally forestry in the front yard, and a big ass lake in the back. Really, I just love being near the water. Beaches are nice too, but I would much prefer to live by a lake. I live in a desert and summers. suc. It climbs up to 115F in summer and stepping outside immediately puts me in a bad mood and I hate it 💀.

#listen #deserts are very beautiful- under-rated- and important ecologic systems #that said-the only thing i hold against them is that i live in one #there are really only 3 things I like about living here #1. My favorite brewery is here and its a vibe #2. the lack of trees actually gives a great view of the night sky even in the suburbs. not a lot is obstructed and its quite nice #3. listening to Welcome to Night Vale in the evenings while having a cold one on the back porch is PEAK immersive experience #didn't mean to take this long to respond #had to go to a wedding yesterday #i havent even decorated for halloween yet #there are 3 more family events this month not including halloween #i want to be a worm #worms dont have familial obligations #ask game #answers #asks #shippingmyworld

i have so much work to do for finals season which is frustrating bc on the one hand i'm very glad all my classes have project-based finals where i get to be creative instead of just doing an exam or a paper. however. i have a bad habit with every project-based final ever of accidentally getting an idea that's way too ambitious and creating more work for myself than i need to do

however this semester even tho i fell into that exact same trap my two most elaborate final projects each involve 1. editing a video essay which contains an interview i did with paul bellini and at least 45 seconds of it are bellini talking about why he thinks i have great potential as a comedian, and 2. editing a ten minute reel of the documentary footage i got on tour with scott. which of course involves rewatching various videos of me and scott being extremely chaotic together. so i stay winning ig

#my other finals include ''powerpoint presentation detailing the historical significance of mel brooks the producers''#and ''live sketch show that i actually don't have a significant role in but that's fine i have a different sketch class next semester''#(this sketch class was technically ''creating characters and solo performances'' and i really wish i could've done more)#(but also that whole interview-footage-debacle drained so much of my creative energy so sometimes doing the bare minimum is self care)#so i don't have a solo piece in the show. but i do get to say my favorite line in the whole show in a group sketch which is great #and i did sign up to perform an aubrey monologue in a sketch show in a suburb of boston next week #which is gonna be super interesting bc i've been looking to do more performing outside of my college #bc i've found that i don't think college kids are actually my target audience??? or at the very least i want to perform to a wider audience #it's frustrating bc for that show i have to trim the monologue down to 3 minutes but it's the tightest monologue i have and it's 5 minutes #so trimming it down feels like a game of jenga since it's so tight lmao #but honestly even if the performance bombs i'm mostly doing this so i can tell bellini about it lmao #he's so supportive of my comedy and he's been such a great help with my aubrey monologues i feel like this is bellini homework lmao #anyway i probably won't post the video essay publicly bc it's not the style of video essays i want to make #and it's too specific to the class it's for #but if people are interested in watching it i'll send you the vid when it's done #and for the tour video i'll probably post that or at least some version of it #bc that's just gonna be a fun teaser of ''here's the level of behind-the-scenes content you'll be getting from this doc!!''#and also a fun way to be like. audiences don't know me nearly as well as they know scott #but they will definitely know me by the end of this bc there are so many wild interactions i have on camera of me and scott being chaotic #anyway this post was mostly to organize my thoughts of what i still have to do this week #i am so ready to be done with school lmao i'm gonna be spending a full month in toronto this summer #and it's shaping up to be such an exciting time i can't wait

going to the little nearby forest town my gf's family is from has really made me realize that like. towns don't need to be the big expanse of asphalt we've made them. this place is pretty close to a metropolitan area but it's got dirt roads and hasn't been cleared of plants and that's fine and you can still access main roads easily. if you're going past it on the freeway you wouldn't even realize there's a town there. it's actually really weird that we pour asphalt and concrete over everything and act like that's the norm or the default

#for dense metropolitan areas it makes more sense but for suburbs and smaller towns? not really #the dirt roads are fine for driving and walking on #and there's so much diversity of life there and it's such a great place to be #the kids get to go to afterschool care in a redwood grove #and weddings and memorials are held there too #you can smell candycaps and bay trees when you're walking down the road #and there are blackberries and a bunch of other foods to forage #like of course it's not perfect #but it really make you think about how ridiculous it is that we have rejected this for sterilized expanses of asphalt
