so my son had one of those fake wakeups before he actually wakes up. very manic-y and just wanted me to blow this long kind of whistle toy into his face for a bit over an hour. so i'd blow it, he'd giggle and repeat. and then i'd try to hide the stupid thing behind my back but he'd go find it and put it back in my mouth.

and i thought of this thread during it. i relate to bread alot when he talks about the reality of life. i don't always say it because i try to just remain happy and positive but that's the stuff that upsets me when my life is quiet enough so i can think. i don't want to die. i don't mind getting old but i just can't imagine the world functioning when i'm not there. i don't want my son not to have a mom. i have no parents any more and i'm a fruit loop so i kind of could use them right now. i'd like to stay around forever for my kid. so i'd appreciate it if you math nerds could figure out a way for me to do that instead of worrying about trying to beat a book on an off line. kthx xoxo

Sorry to hear you have some of the same thoughts regarding the bigness/craziness of it all :)

It's nuts though isn't it?

To tackle the OP's original question...who knows? Like you say....a kid gets hit by a bus and you hear people say that it reminds them to cherish every moment. It reminds you that life is short. But you ask someone who has lived a lengthy human life...say over 70 years....but they were a miserable fucking 70 years. Insert your own example here. I bet that person would say they've lived way too long.

It's just so hard to differentiate the uniqueness of it all to each individual.

On a different realm, but still similar....how big is all of it? Sometimes I find myself caught up in my head like it really is all there is that exists. I know that's silly. But I can get lost in my own complexities. It's like my immediate surroundings at that very second are all that matter. Because truthfully, they are all that matter. Once my eyes shut it all ends as far as I'm concerned does it not? But then I recall that I'm so miniscule. I do not even register. My thoughts, my interactions, my beliefs, my experiences...are nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

And it freaks me out.

We have been told since our existence to enjoy every moment, make them all count. But we are reminded so often that our moments will ultimately amount to nothing. It's all a big joke.

But we have three choices once you realize this.

You placate yourself and smile at strangers and masturbate your inner narcissist.

You reinvent the hermit/loner/cat lady role that seemed so funny to you as a kid. Now? It sounds more like an acceptable escape for those who tire of keeping up with placation nation.

You end it before it ends you.


There are no happy endings. This is all one drawn out Old Yeller movie. When will Arliss show up with his big ole' shotgun? I dunno.

Everytime I hear a loud unexpected sound outside my door at night, I immediately think of stories I've read about home invasions, and husbands being tied up and beaten and forced to watch their wife raped and murdered. Then I also take a deep breath and I think to myself that of course, that's not going to happen. I'm being silly. Am I really worried about this when the fact of the matter is that I'm currently sitting on a giant spinning ball that rotates around a big ball of fire in a numberless universe? Common.

Go Royals.
 
Bread, you have no idea how much I agree.

I just don't want to die. Like it makes me sick to even contemplate. Even when I had to decide about giving my dog to a friend who had a farm I thought at least my son and I won't experience her dying. That's not normal. It was one thought of many but it was stilll there.

I thought about this a lot the last two days and I kept thinking: I just don't want to die. Ever.

I think back to my parents and they both got fucked. But I really just want to stick around. I'd happily be old and decrepit and still just kicking it. I don't like this thread.

Doesn't it just blow your mind to pieces when you remember that these deep concerns and fears and confusion that we share are but a drip in the pan.....that quazillions before us have shared these emotions. These uncertainties. The things we fear the most have been experienced by sooooooo many before us. It's just a rite of passage I guess. Some of us are just fortunate enough to exit more graciously than others.

I guess.
 
I'm happy to not have been killed in the midst of slave trade or ethnic cleansings or fighting a war for no good reason......


I consider everything else gravy and icing on the top....


yes I like gravy on my cake....
 
So relative as far as terms.

Fear? Sure it happens. What do I fear - right off the bat -

-Death of loved ones
-Not being able to communicate effictively

I don't fear pain. Paralyze me, fill me with pain. If I can't relate to anyone anymore pull the switch, and don't question it.

Loved ones - in this strange place and I can totally relate to the global concept but when they go IT JUST SUCKS and so well far beyond what I have said. I've dreampt of my loved ones going and I have woken up crying form just that. I cannot imagine them just being gone. Sure I don't see them enough; empathy is a part of life. The love never ceased to exist we both knew it. I say it about them and they say it about me - don't ever leave me.

Time is weird proactive or reactive will always be an argument. I mean like 100 times out of 100 and shit.


Regret happens. Pain sucks. If I was just s tupid collection of cells why would any of this be but if it was to be etc. etc.

I say it's short.

Go for it and for sakes be safe, always.

What do you contemplate at the end.

What do you know, I don't want more also I could care a fuck about comfortable.

So then maybe I seek knowledge which might the fucked up.

and who won't.

Happiness so - you found it? Cool I say I bet it lasts. I really like to be nice though.

and so I agree for the most part.

Life is too short for shit I don't know how to deal with yet.
