I don’t watch a lot of live TV but am glued to YouTube. I watch everything from fishing videos to great fights from the past….currently going through Hagler bouts….what a class act he was.
Of course if ever I were allowed into Alaska… I won’t be… I could build you a log cabin with a corrugated metal roof and a wood burning stove. And if the Canadians did their own thing and didn’t follow their southern neighbours they could let me in to paddle my own canoe through the Yukon. That probably won’t happen either.
But recently I have noticed so many of the YouTube contributors have been having problems with getting lost. All I hear is … I was able to find myself ….or…I need to find myself. Like WTF is all that about. ? Is that the latest buzz words? - like “the reality is…” or “going forward”.
If they want to find themselves then have a look in the mirror …. yep …. that's you right there. I have no need to find myself because I know exactly where I am . . . and I do look in that mirror every day too. I think I was only ever lost once . . . many years ago in the wilds of Donegal. Myself and two friends were given bad directions . . . no Sat Nav back then . . . on our way camping, a different sort of camping than normal but some of you will understand. For an hour we went up lanes and down roads wide enough for a cart. Totally lost, and no mobile phones either then. We knew that where we were to be was four miles outside a particular village but we couldn’t find it either. Then we saw a man cutting turf and we asked him for directions to the village. We started to explain we were lost. As calm as you like he looked us up and down, shook his head, and said you must be the three northerners down for the camping. Gave us exact instructions and we weren’t two miles away.
Did we say after that we had found ourselves or found anything else? Would any of had ever used that phrase….? Methinks not. Methinks also that those “finding themselves” are in the main a bunch of pretentious middle class twats.
