I saw a post on Reddit titled, “This is what I expect to flash before my eyes when I die.”
I opened it to see this:
Took my breath away for a second. Something about that is so incredibly peaceful.
And on a related but different note, it brought back memories of the first time I had a computer that didn’t require a manual shut-off. I remember hitting the shutdown option,...

Working on my Friday night work. Editing, paperwork, nbd, I’m nearly done.
Text message comes. “Wanna go out?” basically.
I could use the break.
Say yes.
It’s only 10:30 when I get there. Plenty of time to have fun and get home at a reasonable hour.
Get drunk.
Like, very.
Have drunken adventures.
Come home at 6ish, make it to bed at 7.
The sun is rising....

So frustrated. I make this 20 minute video (nothing special, just rambling as I try to practice speaking my thoughts out loud coherently), and it winds up without sound.
Come on, you’re killing me. How am I going to get better if I can’t hear how I sound?

Last night I dreamt - in part - that there was a woman in the apartment. She had a gun. I had a gun. I knew her, but there was something wrong between us. Some kind of uneasy situation. I didn’t want it to get messy, but I also knew I may not have an option. I went into the room where she was. I can’t recall why, but I started shooting at her. A bullet struck her head. She was killed....

I can’t make myself concentrate, but I can try my hardest.
I’m exhausted. Honestly, exhausted. My shoot today was so short yet not quick (make sense?), and I felt like I couldn’t focus. I’m not concerned about the job I did. I do feel it was bland, though. I want to figure out how to mix it up. I want to make it special.
Tomorrow would be the day, but tomorrow is a big...

I’m intellectually/academically schizophrenic this weekend. I’m bouncing between watching new TV shows (Twin Peaks - any good? not sure yet), movies (X-Men: First Class), reading books (let’s not go there…), and reading sex advice columns (hello, Dan Savage). Among other things, I guess.
One second I’m slogging through a heavy article about philosophy and the next...

Oh I’m trying so hard. So, so hard.
Everybody has their own inner battles that they wage. It’s not necessarily negative. I think there is such a thing as waging a good battle (fighting for the better thing over the simply good thing - not the worst thing in the world, right?). I’m still working on what kind of battle this one is. So far I’m neutral on it.
I read an...

I feel contemplative. This whole thing just isn’t my world sometimes.
Right now I’m just trying to assign the appropriate word to whatever it is I’m feeling right now. It’s sort of a sadness, awe, hopelessness, helplessness, fearful kind of thing, but with a vaguely positive spin. Hopeful depression? I don’t know. I work myself up (down?) into this horrible fit of...

Sober thoughts.

"Describe your very first job."
Oh, restaurant work, how I don’t miss you.
I feel like my first job was awkward in ways that I didn’t comprehend until recently. First off, I didn’t start working for the first time until I was 19(!), but it wasn’t for lack of want. It just never happened. I didn’t know how to look for work in my early teens even though I wanted to by the time I was 13. It’s...

1) TV
I don’t watch TV. I just don’t. It’s not some sort of snobbish thing, like I think TV shows are beneath me. I simply got out of the habit several years ago and never found the time to pick it back up again. By the time I was done with the things that took me away from TV, I realized I didn’t recognize any shows that were left and I didn’t know how to resume....

As utterly anecdotal as this is, it makes me wonder.
When I’m having a bad day, I tend to notice other people are, too. If I’m being a jerk in traffic (or just rushing - still jerkish, perhaps), I notice others are, too. They seem just as pissed off as I am.
There are times when I wonder if this isn’t a coincidence, if society is just set up in such a way that our...

Give me a coin And I’ll take you to the moon Now give me a bill And I’ll kiss you so foolishly
