I'm the Only Person Listening to This

I'm the Only Person Listening to This

By Ali Nabavi

This is my personal podcast where I offer cultural criticism and observations, discuss my life, and offer help and support based on my own experience on this life's journey we're all taking together.


If you'd like to hire me to sing at your wedding, record a song for you, do any kind of IT consulting including building a website, look me up at alijnabavi.info/.


You can also find me at hourback.info/ and hourback.tv/. Thank you very much for stopping by! 🙂

There is some drunk rambling, unfortunately, again, but I left it in anyway. 🙂😁 I have to love drunk Ali also. 💜ðŸĪ— I hope to have better news and more interesting things to say in the near future, with less drunkenness, unless that's what gets me the hits!!!! ðŸĪŠ

I am resigned to the fact, for now, that I am going to be evicted within the next 4 to 8 weeks. I am speaking to my resignation to this idea. 🙂

I spout some stuff that you might not like. I tried to get more into issue based discussions rather than meanderings and diary readings. It would be nice to have somebody to interview! If you would like to be on the podcast to answer some questions please hit me up ASAP.

Finally done with fucking probation. This country's DUI system fucking sucks.

I'm done with probation! Awakenings in Longview, Washington, is a money making scam. The probation office is fraudulent. I'm sure it's similar to other offices all over the country. This place is a fucking shit hole. Let's all move to China!

This is another mixed episode of all kinds of thoughts and commentary and some music here and there. Captain America is the best. Iron Man is a deficient personality. I am in the process of avoiding eviction and trying to find a job before I run out of all of my money. Hopefully my car will not be repossessed by the time you listen to this! 🙂ðŸĪžðŸ€ðŸ§§

Whole lot of stuff. I waited too long to push this one out. Let's call it "Broke in Kelso".

So, I waited way too long to cut this episode. It's over 4 hours. 😂 Does that matter to you guys? Please let me know with some feedback! Do you prefer smaller, more frequent releases, or do you even care about how long they are?

I still don't feel like killing myself but I feel like my life should end. I'm sorry, boys.

Life sucks. Actually, life is beautiful! But people fuck it up. And I am in the middle of the fuckedupedness. I am trying to remember that as long as I can stay awake and stay straight and stay coherent then there is still hope.

Episode for Saturday March 12th 2022. Finally releasing some segments I recorded a long time ago.

This took place over a rough period of moving into my new location in Kelso, Washington, and figuring out what I'm going to do for a living and ending a horrible work experience and looking for a new job and financial contentment.

I love my boys, Wesley and Elliott, and I dedicate everything I do to them. This has been a very difficult period for me, of adjustment, of realigning what my goals are. I want to be with Wesley and Elliott more than anything, being their father and their nurturing parent. I've tried to buy a car and it might be delivered soon. It is a family wagon and suitable for a nice long road trip should the opportunity arise. 🙂 I look forward to being an independent person again and having some kind of contact with my children if my evil ex-wife were to permit it.

Wesley and Elliott, I hope you have a lovely Christmas and get a lot of cool toys and whatever else you have asked for. I'm sure you deserve them. 🙂😉💜 I love you very much and think about you everyday. My life is not complete without you. I hope you are doing well and can't wait to see you again and give you big hugs. Goodbye for now, Dad. 💜💜💜🎄ðŸĶŒâ›„ðŸ‡ĻðŸ‡―ðŸĪķ🎅
