Ramble On: Summer 2026 Edition
Plums. Hours spent agonizing over the promise of just one minute more. Got Titans in my back pocket. Everything in duck fat. Funny thing about noncompliance and not succumbing to facial recognition, finger print, face-everywhere bullshit is that that technology is likely designed to work backwards. Meaning, if you suddenly don’t check some box as fast as it wants you to, you’re probably a bigger red flag than you would have been had you just obeyed to begin with. I don’t have a menu of people to purchase. I barely have enough of an appetite for even just one these days. Oliver Stone. Butterscotch chips in oatmeal = 10/10 Bubble and squeak. Gold paint. Do you want to cry? Yes/No W.E.I.R.D. Science bias. Six more months in solitary. (Insert Bernoulli's Expected Utility) Climbing fences and walls while wearing stilettos. Platinum fortune cookies. Pink frosting. No. No. No....
This was nice to hear, especially now. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhy "especially now"?
ReplyDeleteShe can't give it up because she cares too much. Yet caring too much can be a reason he gives that she should (give it up.)
DeleteIt's weighed on my conscience that opportunities in love have slipped by me because the timing was wrong.
Is it better to cling to resistance and insist on what the heart wants, even when time is unfavorable, or to just “give it up”?
I don't know if it's better or worse. I wonder if the price you pay ends up roughly the same, either way.
This song evoked those memories: resistance to “giving it up,” as well as acquiescence to “giving it up.”
But denying the heart what it wants is one thing. Forgetting what it wants is something else.
It's satisfying to hear this reciprocated in such a haunting, but buoyant song. "Especially now," because these things have been on my mind.
Otherwise, one could be led to believe that they're the only person who ever feels this way. Everyone has a story like this in their lives, I'll bet, which is as melancholic as it is encouraging.
I see, said the blind man.
