You’re never quite asking to change, you’re never quite asking to be validated. There’s validation in changing yourself. When who you are is validated, the world could be changing. When you desire something, you want to feel like that desire mattered. But you also want to see what flaws might have been in your desire.Continue reading “The Real Internet Blues (Cultural Rave)”

L1’s Almanac – To Adjust Your Sails Is Still Kind of Evil
Have you seen this saying? “We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails”. You could say….quite a few good things about that saying. How to try and change your future by taking indirect control of things. But I want you to think about how this is part of behavior you hate, peopleContinue reading “L1’s Almanac – To Adjust Your Sails Is Still Kind of Evil”
L1’s Almanac- Why People Are Like Glorious Christmas Light Clusterfucks (The Greatest Post I’ll Ever Make)
After a night of good memeing, I woke up with my brain cells realigned. And I reached a conclusion about……what people are doing. Even about the very nature of what I am trying to do. And I also became extremely proud of myself, for having an original take on how to try to be aContinue reading “L1’s Almanac- Why People Are Like Glorious Christmas Light Clusterfucks (The Greatest Post I’ll Ever Make)”
L1’s Almanac – Why Trying to be Socially Competent is Like a Game Show Where You Jump Through Stupid Foam Cutouts
Have you seen the game show Hole in the Wall? People have to fits themselves through a space in a wall that is supposedly made just for them as it glides down an alley, or else you are dumped into the water. It’s a show that makes me smile, so silly, so endearing. But why?Continue reading “L1’s Almanac – Why Trying to be Socially Competent is Like a Game Show Where You Jump Through Stupid Foam Cutouts”
[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Charm of the Lost Receipt (Gratification For/Against Thieves)
The windowsill in my apartment building………… I found a receipt on it. I was tempted to pick it up. I did pick it up. It was from Subway, the sandwich shop. They got…..some kind of normal sandwich, whatever. But you see……I was excited. I was glad. Because I could see how deeply wanting to pickContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Charm of the Lost Receipt (Gratification For/Against Thieves)”
[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)
There’s an electric fan on my desk. I use it very often. I get warm, even in winter. You turn it on by pushing down a button. It makes a click when you push it. But if you don’t push down all the way, the fan still activates. The click I associated with the fanContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)”
Cultural Rave: The Warm Mystique of Celebrating Holidays and Anniversaries (L1: Redemptive Revengeance)
I am making my 60th post. Don’t you think it’s charming? How we try to pin special qualities toward marching forward, only reaching a number or passing some interval in time. We celebrate how long businesses and clubs have been around, how long we have been alive, the achievements of humans who have vanished fromContinue reading “Cultural Rave: The Warm Mystique of Celebrating Holidays and Anniversaries (L1: Redemptive Revengeance)”
L1’s Almanac: Why Cognitive Dissonance is Intellectually Vapid Horsesh*t
This isn’t even worth a diatribe. I could go on for a while about how much I hate that term. When somebody blames someone else for something that they’re barely even doing, you call that cognitive dissonance. When somebody props themselves us for achievements, and you hate them for it, you call that cognitive dissonance.Continue reading “L1’s Almanac: Why Cognitive Dissonance is Intellectually Vapid Horsesh*t”
Cultural Rave- This One’s About Hugh Mungus and Dunkin’ Donuts
A donut store, a coffee shop, a food-eating place, decides to boldly sever a part of its name. Left without the thing that made it what it is, it acts disconnected, though not quite, from much of what made it so successful. Strangely endearing, strangely frustrating, to try and refine one’s image by conforming toContinue reading “Cultural Rave- This One’s About Hugh Mungus and Dunkin’ Donuts”
