Folks, this is your captain speaking…
We’re currently playing the world’s most expensive game of dodgeball with approximately 47 surface-to-air missiles that seem very enthusiastic about making new friends at Mach 3.
No need to panic—our current evasive maneuver is officially called “the Cairo barrel roll with a side of existential prayer.” We’ve already burned through half our chaff, all of our dignity, and whatever was left of the in-flight Wi-Fi.
We’re estimating arrival time somewhere between “soon” and “please God let it be soon.” In the meantime, feel free to recline your seat, close the shade, and pretend this is just severe turbulence caused by climate change.
Flight attendants will be passing out complimentary earplugs and blindfolds. We thank you for flying Not Today Satan Airlines—where “close call” is just our way of saying “on time.”
Buckle up. It’s about to get biblical.
“Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers.
He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.”

In 1999, during a live lunchtime concert in Amsterdam, pianist Maria João Pires realized onstage that she had prepared the wrong Mozart concerto—but she flawlessly performed the correct one from memory anyway.
Today is Keanu Reeve's 61st birthday.
You may not know that he was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
He has no bodyguards.
In 2010, on his birthday, he walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway or simply eating a cupcake in NYC.

@leerobi08433142@FilmsFallout@Fallout@falloutonprime I was not aware of that. I am still a huge fan of physical media since who know what will happen in the future. I learned that the hard way when I rely on digital only.
@et2bruttus No problem at all. I will wait until you come back to writing. I have enjoyed each story you have written. I am still playing caught up on some. Have a good break.

@mysteriousuniv Stay safe there and thanks for letting us know what is going on in your neck of the woods. I hope you have a backup generator just in case and prepare.
@othingstodo_com Allowed?
We were not allowed in the house during the day. We had bikes and friends.
There was 3 rules
1: don't get hurt
2: don't be brought home by the police
3: see that light? If it's on you're late and grounded
@totem_pole666 Thanks for the great story and I was wondering if you had plans with the green woman in the foreground, if not could be an interesting side story.
