I like to think of them as Ketracel-white! 🙂🙂😳😳

Not someone to look up to.

Yes, I am also an addict. No, I'm not proud of that, i.e. no, I'm not proud of myself. I just, as a living thing, have an unconscious, inarticulable drive to... survive, yes, but also more. I keep trying to forget it, but it's sort of my nature, described through the...

The movie Trainspotting has a dealer character, Mother Superior, named "for the length of his habit," suggesting that he has a great and consistently productive or at least acquisitive familiarity and facility with opiates and associated matters.

My point is that we're all always just kind of strung out and pointing wide-eyed and frantically at a bulletin board hastily filled with random sheets and articles connected sloppily with red string, trying to explain where our next fix is coming from and how new and interesting the indignities...

...Opiates." The comedian Jordan Jensen, whose podcast I listen to when I have to count reps, etc., as opposed to when I'm doing cardio and am freer to listen to relatively formal and complex ones, e.g. EtV, thinks that "everything is addiction," incidentally including her OCD and love addiction.

Highly Effective People would say, "the map is not the territory," i.e. the symbol for the thing and the thing in itself are very different.

I'm partial to the idea I probably read in lol SparkNotes that Genesis is meant, whether by God or the people we're supposed to believe he inspired to write it, to say that God communicates with humanity symbolically, and, additionally, the one from the preface of my main man Jiddu Krishnamurti's...

Saw this book on an endcap in the library today. I didn't want to pick it up--I MEAN... I WANTED to pick it UP, I just didn't want to be SEEN to pick it up lol

If he really wanted to impress me, he'd be a GOOD bunny!

I know that guy! He's got a problem...

Srs they started off "pranking" black people, Radical Republicans, and their allies during Reconstruction. "Schrödinger's douchebag" and all that.

It's how THE KLAN started!

That's good thinkin'!

Public displays of affection?! I thought autistic people were really unaffectionate! 😉

I was going to say, "I thought autistic people liked rules!" lol

Should all go according to plan, I'll get a black one with a maple fingerboard, because 1) I like maple fingerboards, and 2) I always thought the bass in the "Play for Today" video looked cool--I just don't like P basses.

StingRay The StingRay RAY34 bass is simply an essential for any bassist. The roasted neck, 3-band active preamp, and single humbucking pickup combine to form one of the most iconic bass sounds. Available in tw...

...my good buddy and get this one, which I'm a little unclear on the models and things, but might just be a standard Stingray? Not, like, a "Special," which would cost 3x as much (but be SO worth it!)?:

...I didn't really know what I was doing, got the wrong pickups, and probably should've just gotten another bass lol. But a couple years ago, I "fixed" it, i.e. I got the right kind of pickups for it, etc.

HOWEVER, the point of this post today is that I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell it to...

It's a long story, but back in, like, 1999, I got a nice Fender Jazz bass, which was, like, the culmination of my playing bass in high school.

I had the bridge pickup rerouted to fit a "MM" Stingray pickup because I always liked the "MM/J" configuration, which I suppose I regret now because...

Surely he had the good sense to get vaccinated... ?

I just hope both teams have fun! 🙂

...that he'd been in exactly my situation and not overcome it himself. To him, that just didn't have anything to do with anything, because to my dad, it's not his job to guide his children toward self-management or anything--it's his job to manage their lives for them, or, failing that, ignore...

My dad never told me that he dropped out of college in his sophomore year because he wouldn't finish his writing assignments. Then, my mom married him, an unemployed college dropout and they gave him a job in the town where she got her first teaching job.

Like, my dad never bothered to tell me...

...it and ignore it until he couldn't stand it anymore, and then he'd come and do things like yell, "WRITE!" at me angrily. I remember one time I threw my book at him because I kept trying to explain that I'd be perfectly happy to write anything that came to my mind--just nothing was coming to mind.
