Listen now (39 min) | This mini-ROMA was recorded streamside at a Lund Park campground in Oregon. It includes an update on my dance with covid and some thoughts on the very strange word: bosom. Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range. “Nothing,” Kip Winger
I wanted to look up the movement expert Chris mentioned on Instagram, but I think I didn’t get their name right. Is it Cameron Shane? I’m getting into calisthenics, so it could be interesting to see what they can do.
Sorry about your Covid trials, Chris. It is indeed a bizarre virus that doesn’t feel like any other. Kate and I had it in early June and now again in Greece, which is a hotbed right now. I’m sitting in the sun by a pool near Chania trying to Will myself back to health. The damn thing has settled in my lungs and I’m having fun hacking up yellow phlegm. Tried to open water swim earlier and was practically hyperventilating. Kate is on the upswing, since she got it first. Just hope I’m better by the time we board the long flight home later this week. Ugh. Hope you’re back 100% brother.
Welcome back, Chris, good to hear you recovering :)
Interesting about the word bosom. We actually have the very same in German with "Busen", also singular, and very curiously a masculine noun, "der Busen". We also have bosom buddies, "Busenfreunde" with the exact same meaning that you described. So this word seems to have some long-reaching roots in the Germanic language family.
I just love languages and especially weird quirks like this, so thanks for sharing! :)
I am glad you are feeling better. I asked my wife, who is a nurse and currently in grad school to become an NP, what a Z pack is. She said it was an antibiotic - which is odd that it would be prescribed for Covid because it does not work on viruses. It is called a "pack" because it is only used for 5 days.
The campground you stayed at sounds nice. My brother lives in Eugene and I may have to check that place out. Happy to hear you can through Covid alive and you are back at doing what you do.
I find your COVID-induced nightmares about bureaucratic nightmares almost premonitory, given how not long after you found yourself totally flooded by healthcare red tape. After all, in the movie Brazil Terry Gillian portrayed the infrastructure almost as the 'innards' of the buildings --with nobody knowing too well how to fix them --except Bob DeNiro
PS: I gather 'bosom buddies' harkens back to the age when babies shared the same wet nurse. Remember that in the XIXth century some women were to frail and infirm to breastfeed their children.
I hope you consider that your symptoms might have been caused or partly caused by the shot if you indeed received it. We don't even know what's fully in it. Lots of strange symptoms for people post injection. Nerve damage, tremors, levels of dementia and major heart conditions. Have you seen the numerous videos of athletes just dropping to the ground? ( https://www.bitchute.com/video/XGajIY6Q8qzX/ )
And how do you actually know you had Covid? The PCR test? Kary Mullis the INVENTOR of the test said "with PCR if you do it well you can find almost anything in anybody”. That test IS the "tentacles of the American Medical System" that you so poetically spoke of right there. They also haven't isolated the virus. It's only a computer model. ( Kary Mullis - https://www.bitchute.com/video/wOSeTz57xrCF/ )
You might want to try Pine Needle tea. It supposed to be a good natural healing method to so-called Covid AND the negative effects of the shot.
It’s so heartbreaking to me. You have called BS on so many things but this one no so much. The level of collusion, propaganda and force by government, media and big pharma is so glaringly obvious to me and millions of others.
On another note, I praise you for your special brand of adult manhood when it comes to the realm of intimate relationships. Advising younger men to use a healthy dose caution and care when initiating romance and sex vs just going for it.
Please watch this doc on the idea of Terrain (vs Germ Theory)
Just finished this ROMA and man it brought numerous flashbacks. First was to my own COVID fever dream experience a few weeks ago. Started a new job and pinged positive for the first time three days in. I had to try to work from home due to the nature of my new position and it was like sliding through a Jello tunnel with various responsibilities coming in and out of focus. My dreams for 5 days were filled with people from my old job telling Me I was not up to the challenges of the new position (thank you Imposter’s Syndrome). I finally was able to get back to in person work ten days later. What a way to start a new job! Then you brought up the word “Bosom” and the very first thing that came to mind was the show Bosom Buddies, which I watched when I was a wee lad. The show starred Tom Hanks and another guy (forgot the actor) who dressed up as women so that they could get free housing in a women’s college dorm. The show was filled with references to Some Like It Hot and was drenched in the typical sexual innuendo common to all pop culture from the 80’s. Pretty sure this is the show that launched Hanks’ career (pre Batchelor Party even?) Then you wrap up the ROMA with a song from Kip Winger! Kip fronted a metal band from the 80’s of the same name (Winger). Their big hit was a song called “Seventeen” that was basically an anthem celebrating statutory rape, so it seems Kip has matured quite a bit since those days of pop metal debauchery. Definitely numerous references I would not have expected from you Chris! Thanks for keeping us on our feet.
My COVID mystery started with a booster the first week of January. I had just finished two weeks of vacation. It wiped me out. Severe fatigue. After 8 weeks I finally talked to my doctor and they did some standard metabolic blood work but found nothing. The fatigue continued until May when I tested positive and was sick for a week. The fatigue started to improve slowly. I also read about the combination of Cordicep mushrooms and fermented ginseng helping with fatigue. I took that for 2 months with some rhodiola. By mid August i started to feel closer to normal although I still have bouts of unexplainable fatigue, just less frequent. I’m not sure what the virus and vaccines are up to. I wonder if maybe people with healthier immune systems the vaccine and virus over activate the immune system wearing things out.
For some reason the song selection reminded me of the western Australian band called Fourth Floor Collapse. They had a wicked album call Books With Broken Spines back in my uni days (16ishbyeara ago 🤫). Anyway check this song out. Drink Til You Drown.
Before any meds, try a 2-3 day water fast and see if you feel better. Hippocrates said "Everyone has a physician inside him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick is to feed your sickness." In fact many of the ancient Greeks did regular fasts, including Plato and Aristotle. From my own experience it’s one of the most underrated healing powers in existence.
What's the deal with the word cock, man? I mean, the cock crows, guns are cocked and I have a cock (which some say makes me a bit cocky!)!
Sorry Chris, but the bosom conundrum ain't any more befuddling. Men and women both have long been said to have taken people into their bosom - their chest, their heart, their centre of gravity, the bodily area that makes most contact in a hug. The use of bosom for tits, I'm gonna guess, was probably considered less coarse or offensive. Possibly even a bit of a joke as well. *It seems Mary Louise took you deep into her bosom last night, old chap! Guffaw!'
As a kid, I watched this movie based on the book Anne of Green Gables. In the movie, one girl calls another her "bosom" friend. I was surprised that my super judgementally religious aunt was showing me a movie that contained such a proclamation. I asked my aunt "why is she calling her a boob friend?" My aunt's explanation was that to hold someone in your bosom meant to hold them close to your heart. I looked up the etymology after I listened to this episode, and it looks like it was used to refer to the chest, or a ship's hold, and wasn't used specifically to refer to a woman's breasts until around 1959.
I think they call it a z-pack because the brand name of the drug is called Zithromax. I could be wrong. I only vaguely familiar this because when I lived in Vietnam this was the most common antibiotic they would recommend. Great to have you back Chris:)

Lol. Chris' nightmares are of being in an office.

Bum, bottom, behind. Dick, cock, penis. Tits, breasts, bosom. Or thereabouts.
