It's definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it's unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

At least for me:

Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)

Original Star Trek

Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: DS9

Yeah! I love that!!

We cannot eliminate it: we can only learn how to best live with it. Completely denying the primate part of ourselves only makes it more likely to lash out in ways we don't want it to, and it can be kind and loving and good if properly cared for. I completely get where you are coming from, and for a long time I tried to deny the primal part of myself, but I just got sick.

I guess what I am trying to say is that if we want to live with conflict, lust, and overcoming terrible odds, trying to eliminate the primate within us isn't going to accomplish that.

Just like the primate you are, always jumping the gun!

But, yes, so much in the world today can be understood as our technological ability outstripping evolution. Our brains will look at a picture and feel the same feeling as if it was actually there. It is actually kind of amazing there isn't more insanity around when you think about it.

What an adorable little gremlin! I love his style!

Advanced "If I fits, I sits"

There is deep wisdom in those eyes... and it tells him there is not enough food in his bowl!

Holy crap! That is hilarious and awesome. This guy went to a lot of work to edit this together... Part one is 24 hours! I'm set for awhile. Thanks so much.

Cool. Will do. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Yeah, it's so true! I've gotten close on bourbon street watching an amazing mostly cover band, but I never expect to find fitz again. But there's gotta be bands like that... Right? Or has it all been that fucked by the industry?

Fitzgeralds was my place in the 90s. Motherfuckers paved "paradise" and put up a parking lot. It enrages me every time I see it. My friends used to play downstairs at Fitz all the time back then. Looking for that vibe: clearly I'm not a teenager anymore, but I love a good dive and a good show. Doesn't really matter the genre as long as the musicians are good and know how to put on a show. Austin was also great for this, emos and hole in the wall were great, and taco land in SA was amazing until it wasn't.

I mean, is there anything like that in town?? Or do I need to go out to spring because that's where people can afford to have a good time? It would not surprise me and I'd be happy to even if that's quite a drive for me. I'm just kind of lost because I'm trying to get back to what I love, but I've been so isolated I don't know anything anymore.

I mean, I know numbers is still around. That's good. But there's got to be something else where good music is happening.

Sorry, not meaning to dump. I really appreciate your recommendations.

So is shit in town just crap? I honestly wouldn't be surprised, but I was hoping there might be something closer in.

Both of those look pretty awesome, though. Thanks for the recommendations.

"Theresa's Sound World" by Sonic Youth is the first to come to mind. The whole of Daydream Nation could probably count, honestly.

"Everything in its Right Place" by Radiohead (edit: idiot autocorrect) is another one I've often taken an audio bath in. Much of that album works too. I just hate the final song.

Ah, the goose just needs to go to Gaul!

Absolutely horrendous. Please never listen to whoever gave you that. I am very serious: that shows such a lack of understanding anything about people, whoever is using this as a teaching material should be fired and banned from working with children. But they won't, because toxic bullshit like this is what administrators love.

I am really sorry this is your educational experience. It is not supposed to be like this. Introversion and extroversion are just stupid labels that try to make things easy. Those labeled introverts are often the most generous, thoughtful people who actually listen to and cooperate with others.

Glad I finally got off world and can see your comments again. Missed you. Not trying to be weird, I just like your style.

Nice! I'm going to guess you are a drummer. Second guess is bassist. I want to go to some good local shows, but I've been out of the scene so long I don't know what places are best anymore. Any recommendations?

Aw, that sucks, but good for you for staying firm. It's hard to have patience, but you are doing the right thing for her. Thank you for the update, and thank you for being there for Sandy.

Yup, the creepy cropped crop has hopefully by now been properly coopted by the coping copper cooperative.
