A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake   Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Short thoughts on scale Tuesday, August 8, 2023 "angeleyes (feat. Lou Roy)" by Scoobert Doobert. I don't know enough about music composition to be able to describe what I like about this song in technical terms, but it has sort of a looping melody that I like. Something about it reminds me of some other songs that don't really sound all that similar, like "Gloria" by Laura Branigan and "This Time" by Sure Sure. --- It's been hard for me to write anything recently. One of my birds died in late June and I've been in a mild funk since then. I love all my birds, but I was especially attached to that one because I'd been taking him to the vet so much for various health issues. He was a very sweet and gentle little guy and it's hard for me not to wonder if I could have done more to help him. --- On the other hand, sometimes it feels like nothing matters all that much, good or bad, in the grand scheme of things. I feel like I'm in a constant battle against the awareness that everything I'll ever experience is just a blip in the timeline of the universe. I know that the solution, so to speak, is to zoom in a bit and not think about things on a cosmic scale, but it feels like sometimes that zoom ability gets... stuck. Something being relatively imperceptible against the backdrop of the universe doesn't mean that it has no meaning or impact. I also feel like this sense of scale could be used by some people to justify acting badly, which I disagree with strongly. Of the attitudes I encounter on a regular basis, hedonism is probably one of the most repulsive to me. I'm not entirely against pleasure, of course, but pursuing it at the expense of other moral concerns is off-putting to me. Not going full on ascetic or anything, although I feel like I might trend in that direction more than the average person I know. I will say, in my episodes of anhedonia, pleasure is a scarce commodity, and perhaps it's attained a sort of sacred quality for that reason. I'm wary of getting into a mode where I become deadened to small pleasures and need to seek out more to feel anything. It's already hard enough without trying to reach for more. 0 Comments.
