Ok, it’s quite simple. The third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose you’ll be protected. Once 80% procent of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading. I’m confident that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we’ll have no reason to fear eight dose. The clinical phase of the ninth will confirm that antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose will insure that no mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the twelfth dose.

This is probably the right place to ask considering it is 'This Random Thread' but I've been wondering about rodox's avatar at the moment. About two weeks ago the eyes of your current one got blacked out, now it seems to be glitching!
I'm intrigued! Is this a twoism avatar ARG in the making? :D

Putting together a 4 hour long winter themed Electronica/Rave playlist really makes you appreciate the work of actual DJs.

I bumped into an old friend today, it was that homeless man that i might of mentioned before on here, i was jut about to go into a charity shop when i felt a tap on the shoulder.

I must have been standing talking to him for about half-an-hour, he had been through a lot since we last spoke back in June. For a start he got mentally battered by the death of his border collie, who collapsed while they were walking a few months ago, a few days later he cremated his dog and bought a new ukulele (after he smashed his previous one up as a retaliation of anger and sadness.)
Also spoke to me about earlier that month when he had been in Dorset as storm Arwen hit, said it was crappy timing and i agreed.

He talked to me about the new radiohead material from the Kid A mnesia release, he liked 'Follow me Around' more than the previous single 'If You Say The Word' I had missed those music conversations so that was refreshing.

At the moment he says it hard to find 'The Silver Lining' after the loss of his dog. The place he made his own before he left has been turned into a mess for junkies and alcoholics, if he's staying for good over the winter it's going to take a miracle to reorganise it. Currently he's in limbo.

It was good to finally have a conversation (although depressing) with him after so many months, he packed his rucksack before wishing me a happy new year, which i reciprocated and i said that 'no doubt i'll see you again'

I'm not quite sure if that was the last time i would see him, but at least he's alive. It has been a friendship that resonated with me a few months ago, a renewal of those times happened today.

A lesson I've learned much too late.

Just yesterday day I clock in to work to find that a coworker, who I'd normally see as I was finishing up my own work and leaving, had suffered a heart attack and passed away just an hour after I headed out the door. It's not like we were close friends or anything like that, but he was still someone I'd see at the end of just about every one of my shifts. Just last week I heard the news that Michael Nesmith had passed away, who was the closest I had to a living celebrity I looked up to, and that had left me feeling a little hollow as well.

Your story also reminded me of someone I met in a PHP program several years ago who I found comfort with at a low point in my life, kind of like a big sister. It was a brief period, but I do remember her saying something jokingly to me along the lines of "if you kill yourself, I'll kill myself just to yell at you in the afterlife". We just sorta lost contact after I left because I suck at contacting others and I was still pretty self absorbed in my own depression at the time.

So yeah, don't take life, nor the people in it, for granted.
