Mother. Fucking. Algorithm. Haha.
Yeah, I love Elliott Smith, but, like you said, I only listen to him now when I’m in a weird place. There was a time when I could listen to him whenever and it really wouldn’t affect me too much (other than just digging him), but now his music’s reserved for those Special Moments haha when I’m, like… I dunno. On the verge, I guess.
I’m feeling better now, though. Not great, but for sure not how I was feeling the past couple days.
I don’t really know what happens, but every now and then something happens. I just start feeling super-overwhelmed and angry and bitter and,”There’s not enough time, there’s not enough time, there’s not enough time… There’s not enough fucking time! And I hate everybody and everything!” It’s weird.
I don’t think it’s “gullible” per se as much as it is, like, I just didn’t know what Elliott Smith looked like haha. I mean, I do always say exactly what I’m thinking or feeling or whatever and just assume that everybody’s the same way, even though maybe they’re not. So maybe in that sense we’re gullible.
I did eventually see a picture of Elliott, though, and was like,”Holy FUCK, that dude at the bar really did look exactly like him, Barb wasn’t kidding…” haha.
Yeah, that’s why I was like,”Shit, man, I dunno, it’s not out of the realm that that really was Elliott Smith…” haha.
I dunno if they’re on MTV1 or whatever, might be on MTV, like, Seven haha. We always just kinda stumble upon it when we’re scrolling through channels, but yeah, one of the MTV things is definitely showing videos again. They’re all old as fuck, but it’s still pretty fun to watch them for a little bit.
I mean, I hated Dokken when I was a kid, but that Freddy Kruger video has converted me haha.
They are. That’s what they do. One of my sisters had to take her kid to a therapist when he was, like, eight, because he’d gotten conditioned by his tablet. He’d walk up to the tv and try to… I dunno, “use” it like an iPad or a phone or something, where he’d stand at the screen and touch it and not understand why it didn’t work like a tablet. He started “touching” everything, doing weird shit. My sister had to limit his “ipad time,” totally fucked up.
I used to see it all the time when I worked in restaurants, too, where these kids, little kids, like four years old, were hooked on their tablets, the parents would be like,”Okay, you have to put it away now, we’re eating,” and the kids would throw fits and start screaming and crying. Really weird.
It was a bummer to watch. At the same time, though, I was like,”Hallelujah! I don’t have anyyyyyyy kids!” haha. “Sucks for y’all!” haha…
The only Stephen King book I ever read was Four Seasons, the one that they made movies out of all four parts. I liked it. I don’t think he’s the reason why anything is dark, though haha. If anything, thank gawd for him. Thank gawd for any halfway-decent writer.
Oh, did somebody have to attend summer school??? Hmmmm??? Haha.
