Hey GFY!
Before 2025 celebrations start, let's have a fun thread that embraces just how whacky 2024 was in review.
Let's play pretend here, imagine if you were on a long bender of alcohol and drugs, and you had so many amazing ups and downs and yet, 2024 showed you, that you really do have people on your team. Now, January 2nd, pretend for a moment you had a huge bill coming out, and you didn't have the money. ($84 Canadian) and so you're considering selling a piece of furniture in excellent shape, with a specialty use. In this case, my designer Nood brand ball chair:
Now, using all of your wit and guile, how would you sell a chair that, the original, is a highly valued, pretentious piece of art:
Now, here's the deal, if you have ever owned a ball chair, you know the acoustics when you sit cross-legged in a ball chair are amazing. Listening to music in a ball chair while sitting directly in the middle makes the music drill right into your ears, like you're plugged into the music on one level deeper with the notes flowing directly into your skull because of the shape of the chair amplifying the focus point of the soundwaves. It's fucking sick!
A ball chair isn’t just furniture, it’s a hipster’s rebellion against the noise outside. A pod where sound isn’t just heard but soaked in, lived. Inside, you’re weightless, cushioned, cradled in something that feels half like memory, half like a dream. A womb you can’t quite place, but somehow you know it. Music doesn’t meet you at the ears, it slides under your skin, settles in your blood, whispers in your bones. You sit there, drunk on the sphere, or maybe on something stronger, the padded aluminum shell holding the world at bay. If you’re looking for a refuge, a sanctuary, perhaps a soft corner of the universe to crawl into, this is it. A quiet ticket to a place where sound isn’t noise, and time loses its grip, flowing backward, forward, and nowhere at all.
I wonder if there is an affiliate program to sell ball chairs, they're actually really nice to own.
I'm thinking of selling mine for $300 Canadian, just enough to get my 1999 Dodge Stratus hooked up with a new coil and wires maybe alternator, power steering pump, water pump, timing belt, rear brakes, radiator, gas gauge, a few doobies a 12 pack of pilsner and tail lights maybe one or two other things and a full tank of gas to get driving for Uber Eats so I can put that money into BitCoin in 2025. Maybe someday, I can be a bitcoin thousandaire. Someday.
Seriously though, I hope I can get like $300 bucks for my ball chair. Not sure if enough people have taste in the immediate backwoods redneck area I live in. Very non-bohemian!
