To see a Bonzi post of such insight descend with my own eyes this very month... I'd be lying if I said I was not affected by this (postively i ean) From the mouth of babes, heh heh... Eh? (Talking to a baby cowboy in a desert... this must be a dream...)
this is a weird fuckin' song
really good i think
ahhah i imagine talking to a baby cowboy in the desert sounds like this song. whatta cool song!!
also sidenote there was goddess or somebody? in this topic having that anecdotal story of gushing about 0.5s super-chords in his choir practise, and that was heart-breaking & warming story?? You Are Not Alone friend... i know the sentiment/feeling/That Moment....
Edit: venting, but I am technically a 90s guy, and it's amusing that this stuff is coming to a head, and like again that word 'dovetails', dovetails nicely with some of the not-quite-racism not-quite-homophobia of the 90s, too 'modern' for anyone to consider themselves their own racist granpa, just manifests in more subtle ways like completely inaccurate demographics of New York on the average episode of Seinfeld, etc. (still probably better demographics than entire series of Friends though) Also I know for a fact, weird conspiracy books got published quite a bit in the 90s, and now like people can refute it on the Internet but back then that stuff had an air of legitimacy because 'wowza you got published???? this must be pure fact then'
just a random comment aside the point but for the sake of letter count in this holy topic: (the words i bolded above bold) yeah i've noticed that weird kind of ignorance in life, i think some books talk about this thing about esp. about milleniumals or post-milleniumals (sp? but i don't think it's these days contained to just to them),
where some things are so 'blasé' to even talk or consider about, that it's not even worth noticing or talk over? like "huh? why bother talk about it? that's obvious, that's normal. that's so unimportant to talk about in fact, that you are bit... weird or uncool to even bring it up". that kind of thing. it's a special kind of precious something, reminds me of trump supporters etc. weird how being "reasonable" can be super toxic in the world in a lopsides way. "wow you must be really fun at the parties" etc etc. imagine if dumb topic is just dumb ego-reaction video responses to each and every comment in here.
like, i bolded that sentence in the above quote, because it's like "i can't be racist, because i don't identify as such" -type of deal, where you don't consider the
quality of your actual actions or reasonings in the world.
or "i'm one for the good guys, one for the peace" and then look completely 2018's SoMe 2.0 prince/princess-like annoyed and unimpressed when one points out that the guy hasn't really done anything to earn that kind of merit,
and may on the contrary have shittons of really bad actions in life in reality??
it's pr common these days that one's words/claims/reputation don't really match the output of the person, and it's prob super-contagious and toxic behauvior? think of "toxic fanbases" or "SoMe mob reactions, OK now i'm allowed to fuck somebody's life up for free cos im bored, yay!". etc etc.
think of this "woke-ness" type of terms and trends etc as an example, of how inadequate this stuff is even
linguistically to address the issues and may even harm the cause etc... and you sort of feel this as dissonance and as "that's probably somehow wrong or toxic", but can't quite put it into words,
so you just sort of shadow-react tiresomely to stuff and can't quite put things into place / sort of shuffle it into one of those "modern experience"-stuff.
it's actually kinda anti-Steel (the old member here, RIP) type of deal, where bad members can post their dumb opinions on FF characters and everything is this endless stream of bad choices and nobody is forced to reason the quality or why they think the way they do... long live steel paladine. pretty sure steel talked about this stuff in his post-mortem-released book 10 good years before these politics had became a reality.
not meaning to turn this into a bitter tirade (
sidenote's sidenote/sudden realization, i wish my posts would read more like old song lyrics, that'd be the coolest!) but it's interesting. i often find this "common sense" is really just that,
common sense. a sort of supposedly mutually shared reality, a mutually shared common and average logic of the reality's inner workings.
i thought for many years and for the longest time that it must be me who is the weirdo here, but i sort of realized by painstakingly thinking over the years... and being in the situation so many times, where i go
"nah these guys know that they are right... everyone's immediately agreed at the same time that i'm thinking weird, now they are simply ignoring my comments... i've been socially shamed now... huh, i see, it's me who fucked up here and now... wow, shame on me... it's the end of the social world stuff, right here... fuck, better not fuck up this bad AGAIN, better ad-lib better next time" etc etc
, then later on my estimation astonishingly comes to fruition on 100% accuracy and i regret that i should had just trusted my own rationalizing to avoid the bad scenario
= incompetence of your average joe's reasoning is normal, manage your expectations on others, etc.
hence i'm sorta cool with the "mob-reactions" and don't take it too personally dizdayz, 'just flip my cool shades on and put dat hand back on the steering wheel of my desert trip car. who da thunk that progression and progressiviness/growth in personal life is a real thing even dis lade inna age?
actually i just now realized!!!!! this is specifically a cavarly rally-support to goddess17 who has to suffer thru the average's in the choir, sonny it's not you who's fucking up there and then, it's the others even if they socially elicit that "this guy is embarrassing and weird" - response!!!!! Hang In There, Snoopy/Sloopy!!!! keep dat hand steady on the steering wheel of your long-term thought progression!!!!!!
EDIT: on the positive note. post became one fell 'm'whoop'ka-ZING of modern day bullshit thoughts buuuuuut it wassa accidental, im much more wabisabi than i let on... Top 3 Bonzi's Anime Betrayals... it's been burdenin' my heart! please understand! but let's get back to cool dumbtopic shit and asocial stuff, neeeehh? i gotit off. i feel lighter.
EDIT: Ragnar dunno about you but i'm techni 90's too, and i felt living that time sort of suffocating? everythings trying to make wild faces in 90's "fast" shades, flips fingers, ok so theres some cool technicolours etc fractals etc etc ragnar consciousness stuff. it felt polarizing i guess, like "here is this super-permeating/suffocating times with all weirdness being sactionized by big something and all these expectations/norms, and here i got these weird NES videogames showing me that world is super weird and richer than it seems. there is something bigger and better out there, somewhere...". which lead me to GW after getting excited about JRPG's (FF7, FF8 -> the wide-spread release of old console emulators and being exposed to FF4-6 on SNES -> "I can do this too with MSPaint!") as a teenager. videogames literally were the woodstock of the 90's and probably far more WILDER societal change that anything that happened since 70's? at least they tap into wild psyche and force you to go through these berserkly weird words and feminiscientic experiences, stuff you wouldn't had otherwise as a kid in early age. not to turn this into "those were the times, now kids these days..." sort of bullshit but i do realize how super lucky / oddly fate or chance-like it was? imagine how many factors had to be fullfilled to make that weird shit happen by corporate dudes making products anyways...? also prob somehow saved classical music world heritage and this is One Weird Unspoken 1 Home Tip Homemoms Know Of.
