Listen to my spouse and then my spouse listens to me. Then we talk about our day or whatever. Nothing beats friendship and companionship. We rarely turn on the tv - maybe for superbowl or storm coverage.

You had me until Superbowl. I don't understand why people waste time watching other people throw a ball around for money, but hey its your time to waste I guess.

I'll just crawl into my downvote bomb shelter now and watch some people pretending to fight zombies, much less of a waste of time

A band we listened to growing up, Skinny Puppy, their lead singer Ogre, wasa heroin addict... he kicked the habit, and when my friend got married, Skinny Puppy played at their wedding.

My buddy actually works for another band person we grew up listening to, from Ministry....

I fall asleep by randomizing my thoughts but it only takes a couple of minutes

What the heck is randomizing your thoughts?

Sometimes I just imagine I'm slowly tuning a radio, catching snippets of conversations as a hop frequencies. Rarely a complete sentence. When you're not actively trying to imagine things your subconscious seems to take over and pretty soon after it's goodnight from me
