Seven degrees
This year has been rough, and honestly, that’s an understatement. However, one thing I should have invested in at the beginning of this pandemic is streaming services, and they are blowing up. Especially because we are all stuck indoors and need some sense of normalcy and that is where we turn to the television and the lighthearted shows that might make us lose the sadness our lives have become. I don’t know about you, but this actually doesn’t sound like a punishment to me. I get to stay home and watch as many movies as I want? Yes, please. In fact, do ya’ll remember when Netflix tweeted and said, “to the 42 people who have watched ‘A Christmas Prince’ 42 times since Thanksgiving, who hurt you?” I was one of those people. Movies and shows are my life. My personality is a cacophony of literature characters and characters from shows I really enjoy.

Back in high school, I used to hang out with drug dealers. I often sat in my friend’s bedroom where people usually came to buy or use drugs - sometimes both. The lights were dim, and soothing ambient music played in the background. The walls were covered with photos of ocean beaches - which I always thought of as places successful people went on holidays - and the air smelled of weed. It was the perfect setup to escape life. For some, that room was the only holiday destination they could afford to go to a few times a month.

Jide OkonjoPublished 3 years ago in GeeksThe 4 Day Ruler
If you were an observer objectively looking at his position within the family, Ashina Ide wouldn’t be considered a front runner to lead the Ashina clan, quite the opposite really. He was the second son of one of his father’s concubines and held no real influence with the Ashina family power players. Additionally, Ide was a poor swordsman, never took to horsemanship, and his aim with a bow was horrible, and for a samurai living in a warrior caste society, this was akin to being cursed. So once Ide reached the age of adulthood he was relegated to command a small outpost in the north, Hagi castle. A minor family member to be forgotten by serving as a short delay if an enemy force from the Date Daimyo invades.
