Pensieve

Waiting. But for what? A thought. Life to go by. I don't like that thought too much. Writing. This is like a Big Mac. I just write what I think/feel and post it up. I do a once or twice over, but nothing is really edited like it would be in a publication. Or who knows these days. I question a lot of what I see--let's just put it that way. Cryptic words? Maybe. Perhaps more for my benefit. They can be deciphered and maybe even used for how someone wants to use what works for them. So perhaps they can sleep better at night? So they can say they understand the world and know what is what and what should be. Opportunistic? Darn it! I forgot the word. And I'm trying not to curse if I don't have to. Ugh. I hate when I can't think of a word. Oh well. It will come to me.

 

This might just be a post of continuous though. One of those. Because I have a ton of stuff I wrote before, I've written, eh, whatever. And it's just sitting in an electric folder, getting virtual oxygen/water damage. Hmm, what happens to old virtual folders? Do they decay? Can they? Maybe they'd have to be programed. But what is the benefit of someone doing that? Unless it's just a geeky thing to do. Like AI. But that's on a whole different scale. Will I post those? Maybe. I hate looking back at old thoughts, though. They’ve rotted a bit. Molded over. Some have a longer shelf-life. Maybe some can be repurposed. I’ll see.

 

And the thoughts flow. And I inch closer to a white jacket. Hmmm. Maybe not. But Interesting to see where the thoughts flow.

 

I didn't record anything this past weekend. Hadn't? I probably should have. Even if it wasn't anything much. Just something I could have edited the heck out of and used as a show. It's been such a long time. I've even toyed with the idea of recording little snippets and asking Gary to look at them and record responses to those clips so it looked like we were talking. I could probably do something with that. But where's the time? I mean. I don't have it, but if I had the energy, the enthusiasm, I might have been able to pull something together. I used to do it. Like three shows a week at times. This virus and other things just drained me of creative energy. It's there, but it was a bashful thing to begin with. Now it's gone and ran down the caves and into the inner workings to hide and no one can get to it. Eventually it will come out. I know it will. It's me. I'm it. Therefore, I know this. The question is when?

 

And Twitter and social media. Don’t let me get started on that. Well, this was a cobbled in thought. But I had wanted to get it out. It hurts to hold it, you know. I believe it really ruined something.

 

Maybe I'll call this post the Pensieve. I've got to think of something. I think. And I think.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
