Just kidding. Nothing eventful to report since mid 2022.
Nothing has happened post-COVID. And 2022 was supposed to be my year
I mean they are are a few things I'd like to share...when I feel I can articulate it interestingly enough...but overall been sh*t...sleepwalking through life. living in fear.
it's basically been groundhog day except the inverse, the world improves and I'm left behind. But it feels like the same day.
maybe I will fill this in at some point. but I doubt it.
Wait wasn't that 2020? Though conversations in that resolutions post did span into 2022 too...
Well dang man, may this year be the year you manage to climb out of that eternal loop! It sounds like we're not really living that different lives; both stuck in a similar kind of rut and machine, afraid of truly living out dreams, though maybe I'm all the more in denial about it hmm... I feel optimistic about the prospect of change, anyhow. That we actually may escape this hamster wheel. That the world is actually a joyous and fun place if you just manage to tune into those frequencies in the way you life, and the possibilities herein are endless - even if there is no multiverse!
Happy 2023 anyhow! 🙏✨ May this be THE YEAR!
ok. maybe I will pretend to think my world is splendid for a moment.
We all have our "bad eras", and that's a fact - however, no matter how long they last, and how hard this may sound, the important thing is stay positive about them, and do everything within your reach to stop them, give them a flip and change them for the better.
I hope this 2025 may be your year, S3C. Keep staying strong, and fighting for your objectives.
u stuck in time?
feels like it
Remindin' me of a Foo Fighters song there hmm... that's the spirit man. :)
moments over
Foo Fighters is one of my top 5 worst bands lmao
Nooooooo! You don't even like Everlong?
don't recognize the title but probably not
If it might change your mind: https://youtu.be/eBG7P-K-r1Y
oh okay, I know that one. and it is pretty good
@Cyberdevil I remember that being on feel-sorry-for-myself playlist when my girlfriend dumped me over two decades ago. Guess I repressed the memory of the song, haven't heard it in so long
now i'm trying to refresh the list of songs that I listened to from that time- not stuff I'd listen to today.
@S3C Oh dang, well that's not the most positive memory of the song then! Or association to the band. It's a melancholy song for sure even without association, reminds me how fleeting time is every time I hear it; of good moments and years I'll never get back... though no heartbreak. A yearning for as timeless a connection maybe...
Would be intrigued to hear some!
heh. actually...it's quite the opposite: it's a cherished bittersweet memory.
I think this video describes the feeling perfectly, a different perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWPbObQYyhw
looking back, I was a complete @sshole about being dumped (not just because I was hurt but because cause I thought that was how I could get her back) and for that I sorely regret. I remember she still wanted to be friends, and we were planning to still go to the school dance together. But I ghosted her out of spite. So we stopped communicating after that mainly my own initiation- the last time I spoke to her was a year later, I had lost my green accordion folder that I kept all my schoolwork in. She somehow remembered that it belonged to me, and returned it to me while we were passing in the hallway- she talked to me like we were still friends, despite that I was jerk and didn't deserve her kindness...all I could say was thanks and that was that.
So that was over two decades ago. I saw her occasionally at the grocery store and for some reason I don't understand she added me on four separate instances on Facebook- all my social media is long gone now. But we never communicated on it. Doing a quick e-snoop seems like she's doing well now, still looks beautiful and has aged like fine wine, has a kid (but I think is a single mother) and now works as a psychologist/therapist. I've been wanting to get therapy for the past couple years, I think it would be cool in an awkward kind of way to land with her as a therapy patient, but we now live in different states, although I guess Zoom may be the standard for these type of activities in the current times.
so thanks for the song, it was fun to reminisce about all this!
@S3C That certainly is a beautiful but bittersweet way of looking at it... I'm not sure it really is better to cherish a bittersweet memory than to replace that memory with a lasting connection, with all the ups and downs that'd entail instead. To move on. Life's momentum. If you've neither the memory nor the momentum though... that'd be sad. But it's so easy to get stuck on that which was, and not look at what still may be...
Anyway that is a profound way of thinking about it, it makes sense... great scene.
Y'know it doesn't seem like she's out of reach yet, different states or no, you could connect again! Never mind my pondering on moving on more so than remembering, of opting for sweeter sweets more so than the ones with a little bitter glitter.. It sounds like the memory may serve new purpose! Would be an awkward therapy session for sure, but it's almost like fate ain't it? You need therapy, she's a therapist, she's single now... everything aligns!
Even if said connection wouldn't lead to a new connection, maybe a bittersweet meeting at least, maybe closure, I hope this leads to more than just a session of reminiscing man. ;)
Thanks for the writing! Who'da known the unexpected Foo Fighters resentment would lead here...
well I don't think the gist of the Dr's point is to replace/shorten the relationships that we may have, but that everything in life comes to an inevitable end- and like a good film that we just watched, cherish the conclusions and embrace the sadness that is coupled with the end of all meaningful journeys we take
anyways, it's a slice-of-life comedy show. The punchline being...at the end of the clip his phone rings. It's from a girl that previously rejected him and wants to hang out. So he forms a relationship with her and ironically forgets about the relationship that just ended
Mmm I can get with that! Always appreciate a movie with a sad ending when it's done right too, when it's sad in a meaningful or beautiful kind of way, and it feels like you gain something from it, just makes it all the more impactful... I fear endings in life may be all the more overwhelming; not be as easy to find closure with...
Oh damn that's from a comedy show! XD Good to hear it ends well at least... that's a wisdom in itself hmm. To remember fondly, but to not just live in memories; get better memories when you get the chance... what a scene tho. Louis C.K. doing real drama was unexpected.
Most comics are depressed to a certain degree and make the best drama though.
For example, Louis CKs Horace & Pete...that's a real heavy one.
Sounds like I gotta watch more Louis CK...
nostalgia playlist is now live.
