I can’t believe it’s been a year. Damn. I really didn’t think I’d make it. I half worried I’d go crawling back.
My last two comments, one year ago were, “Memmy for Lemmy. Been happy all day.” (though voyager is my app these days) and, “Thank you. I already love it. I hope this is where all of the old heads go.”
That was a response to my introduction to lemmy.world.
I meant it when I said I was leaving. I wasn’t 100% sure I could make it after using Reddit for so long, but here I am.
Nah, cocaine good. Easy cheese and ritz too.
You’re sweet, I would have said. “Yeah, this is artshare, not critiquemyart, but thaaaasanks. Haha
I’m not an artist myself, and I’m crosseyed, so perspective is lost on me. I just like it.
Could be your time filter. They’re still showing up on my end.
Thank you for the comment. :)
Well damn, I thought he said invention.
Alright stop! Collaborate and listen!
I had a 1998 firebird when I was 19 (thank you mom). There’s a dude in the neighborhood I live in now, 20 years later, who has that car.
I stopped him one day and said, “hey, I lost a car like this in a flood ages ago and traded it for an ugly little Escort. You think this is it?” “Haha, I doubt it bro, but it was a flood car my dad bought like 15 years ago so, maybe? He got it pretty far away from here though.” I said, “Bro, I have the VIN in an old file. For fun, let’s check it.”
Sure enough, it was my old car. Funny thing is, his dad bought it in Missouri and I had it in WV. Now it’s in Va in the same neighborhood as me.
What are the odds?
I really should stop putting off Dune.
But how else will you know how rad their taste in music is?
It’s so rad. The listener is so cool.
I paid full price for my original 512gb. Best purchase I’ve ever made. I love the damn thing.
As sad as this makes the little kid in me who sat in awe of Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time, you’re right.
What a bummer.
I’ll tell you something that has worked for me, and it’s the only thing that works.
Music.
Learn enough to improvise and just dive into it. Today I fastforwarded through three straight hours banging drumsticks on plastic buckets at work. I can make whole days disappear just playing my guitar. I disappear completely and just get lost in the sound. It puts me in a trance and I forget I was ever a person.
It might not work for you, but wouldn’t it be rad if it did?
And don’t think it’s too late to learn. My ex sat down at a piano bench at 26 and said, “I want to learn this.” So she did. About a year later she said, “I’d like to learn to play your guitar.” She learned to play it and that’s what she did every evening for years.
Nothing takes me out of this world like playing music.
This is the answer right here.
Robin Williams was amazing. The range of emotions just can’t be topped. He was the most believable actor of all time.
For fun.
My sister was standing outside a gas station with a close friend of hers. Her friend was enjoying a cigarette when an old man walked up to her and said, “You know, you aught to give that baby a chance!”
She was not pregnant. That was the moment that turned her around and made her go on a diet though, poor thing.
My sister said she cried for days.
Naaah, I bought my first bag of weed when I was 11 years old. The dude who sold it to me said, “smell this shit bro, it dank as fuck! It’s the shit that killed Elvis. You can tell by the smell!”
It’s been legal in my state for awhile now, I haven’t smoked in years, and any time anyone has pulled out their weed to show me what they picked up they still pop the jar or bag open and say some variation of, “Bro, smell dis shit. Good shit ain’t it?”
I’ve smoked weed that smelled awesome and barely gave me a buzz, but the smell check is just a part of the stoner culture.
Everyone who used them back in the day had malware too.
Google dawt cawm… Fun smily face pack 4 chat on yahoo and aim Download Ooh, desktop strippers? Sweet! I’ll go ahead and get that too. Oh no way, a purple ape assistant! Sweet, lemme git that. I’ll be ur buddy bonzi.
Remember porn dialers? They’d call 1-900 numbers in the background when your computer was idle and make parents really angry.
At least I think that’s what they did.
It is so depressing how much I lost as a kid.
My backup method was almost entirely optical. Oh well. I’ve kept myself from feeling too bad by keeping in mind that I am waaaaay too lazy to ever go digging through it anyway.
I just found the one I have and it has an ARM processor. :(
You make me feel uneasy…
:p
