About life in the Jon

This is a podcast about healing after divorce through self-talk therapy, reacquainting one's self with creativity, and experiencing life's differences, challenges, heartwarmings, and heartbreak being single while living through the socio-economic-political apocalypse. If so inclined, please give Jon a Dollar through Patreon (https://patreon.com/itsjtd?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink), or Kofi (https://ko-fi.com/itsjtd). Looking for more detail? Read on: This is what happens when a creative shares the rawness of the artistic process, where ideas gather in thought and introspection, as the world once known has become unknown, and everything feels new, yet wildly unsettling and right, freeing yet still a darkness seeking light. Jon Desjardins portrays himself as he was and who he is becoming, fresh from a divorce where he kept himself small, where he kept himself quiet, perhaps out of no one's fault but his own, perhaps because he's an idealist, with simple, big, dumb, and/or horny thoughts like being married to someone forever and ever, but with grace, charm, understanding, passion, and romance, and all the other things you dream of with such thinking. In this podcast, he is determined to understand the faults, the loss, the loves of this world, enjoying every bit with quests, jokes, ideas, stories, songs, desperate wants of cares, monies, and affections, all through the spirit of positive affirmations, dreams, and self-reflection... while replaying Sitting Waiting Wishing by Jack Johnson in his head over and over again. Welcome, dear guest, to Life in the Jon Rolling Stones strongly has nothing to do with this, but Jon is pretty sure they'd say this is a "tour de force of human spirit," and the The New Yorker would say something pithy like, "It's pretty great," and only the sexiest of local papers would praise as "an incredible work of art, championing vulnerability and real life at play."

   How to Remember Dreams and Save One’s Next Incarnation from Corruption

   I play a character with similar life circumstances to many, trying to remember and share a recent dream, connecting it to viewpoints and perspectives relating to love and life, and ever-pervasive misgivings of our economy and their wide-ranging impact, while giving a shred of hope for what could come after. At the end, we ask: If this world is corrupt, why bring any of those values and ideas into the next? Imagine being able to claim it as one free of dirty politicians, broken systems of standards, and power/profits over people and the environment?
