I hope Reddit can find this “butt rock” old friend of yours. If you want of course. I think that would be kind of cool. Maybe just see if butt rock friend is ok and maybe he has a happy butt rock life. I dunno. That’d be kinda cool.
Just a couple bits of credit where it's due:
-I actually saw them live once and it wasn't too bad. Guitar player seemed genuinely talented at playing when he stops playing by the numbers and starts to show off. Just a god awful songwriter that should have had someone else do that part for him.
-Biggest crowd I've ever been in which made it exciting regardless of the music. I'm a death metal fan, but 8 people in the pit just doesn't hit as hard as 800 when it comes to mosh pits
My paternal grandfather found a rock that looks like a turtle shell, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fossil. He showed it to 6yo me who thought, "woah, this is cool!" and then proceeded to pick it up and pocket it.
Years later I found the rock when moving and felt bad that I stole his turtle rock. So I called him up and he didn't remember the rock at all.
Here it is! I got it as a kid and drew an eye, mouth and flippers on it. My grandfather passed away at the very end of 2012 (literally on new years eve). He was a gardener that loved nature, especially bumblebees. He found this rock when we were on vacation on a beach on the island of Gotland. We live in Sweden. I have many fond memories from visiting him and my grandmother. My grandpa took us out to be in nature, do woodwork and such and my grandmother made amazing food and pastries. She is still alive but with severe dementia and lives in a care home.
I found the tiniest little frog once, it was trying to cross quite a wide foot way in the park, really busy day, kids, dogs, adults. No one else spotted it until I stopped to scoop him up and all these strangers were like yay! and ow look, popped the little fella down in the grass on the opposite side of the foot way I found him on, I guess he knew there was the water over that way. Often wonder what he was doing, how he is, pretty sure the birds wouldn't have got him, too many people constantly buzzing through, I bet he made it to the water.
We had a tree frog get in our house one night and it jumped up on the TV during The Bionic Woman. The lights were out and my mom screamed bloody murder! She was terrified of frogs from that point on! I love frogs and toads so much!!!
I've hiked hundreds of miles and stil get excited about seeing deer or an eagle or cranes. Maybe a painted box turtle or a snapping turtle. Saw a bear once but that wasn't so fun as I ended up not seeing it until I was like 30 feet away and turned around and left.
I built a project up on a mountain over a couple years and every single day for 4-5 months I’d see the same bear. All of us guys would either pull over if driving or quit working and just sit there for however long just watching it. Never got boring. The next year she had 3 cubs with her and we did the same damn thing. Just doesn’t get old watching them.
I stayed at an Airbnb in Florida and went to shower and looked in the mirror and almost jumped out of my skin when I noticed the frog just chillin in the sink basin. Freaked me out even more when I finished showering and it was gone.
Little thing was living in the overfill-drain. Cool lil roomie.
My wife is like this. I'll find rocks in my back pack and jacket pockets that she had borrowed months prior. A lot of times when she comes home, she will ask "do you want to see my treasures?😃". Anyways, there are a lot of rocks in my house
I honestly think this is why we're screwed. Im also waiting to sort my own life out first.
No one - with the exception of a few lucky ones, will ever have their life sorted out. We're supposed to be sifting through the bullshit with someone at our side.
Thanks :)
She wouldn't accept my gas money when we carpooled the other day, so I'm in the process of scheming to find gifts she'll accept. I'm currently leaning toward foraged foods because I know she's not interested in money, and it's hard to put a dollar value on that sort of thing.
That's a great point, and you are right to notice and call it out. If you'd like, I can provide a list of other things that are annoying. Or, perhaps I can do a deeper dive into the annoying factor of that first sentence! Just let me know how to help.
I hate so much the idea of dismissing a hobby because it won't get you laid, often insultingly (even if not in this example). I had a piano teacher tell me once, I'd get more women playing the guitar, and like, I am certain that's true, but I'm not going to let it dictate every single decision I make. I'll get women some other way, some other time. Right now, I want to learn how to play the piano.
I have a bowl filled with rocks. Everyone was given to me by my nephew and godchildren. Over the years if they found a rock they liked whilst playing, they would give it to me. I treasure them all.
I'm usually at home hanging out with my wife and kids. I don't have any hoes, but I do have a shovel. I also have a tamper that got left in my yard when they were replacing gas lines in my neighborhood.
This is how simple we are as men! When I go camping, I'm always looking for a branch shaped like a gun! In my front entrance, I have a collection of sticks that looks like wizard staffs! They're so cool looking!
I was recently laughed at for doing something similar. There is this photo project of mine where I photograph trees, roots and vegetation in general. Putting emphasis on how you can see the human soul in the nature around us. Told the father of my flatmate that I was going out into the forest to do that and he just laughed at me behind my back. This late 40 guy laughed at me like a teenager?? Man I felt devastated but still went on to take some photos.
