Is it racist...

If I make a TouchTunes playlist with all black performers...

Let the good times roll...

I always find it weird how I can easily get distracted by the mundane and nostalgia driven curiosity of the internet.

Music and movies... that pretty much covers the low hanging fruit for me. I'm a addict for nostalgia... but conversely it has unexpected consequences from time to time. Namely the mood that changes or can change from a trip down memory lane... no matter how short it is.

Moving in Stereo from The Cars and Fast Times At Ridgemount High... milk and cereal.... beans and rice.. pb and jelly..

The thing is this song and movie don't hold any memories for people or events... it's just another reminder of  past.. the past... that seems to be haunting me all the time..

The Cars... a band I like.. but never went crazy over.. they were the 80's in some way for me... along with so many other things... but I guess the videos and hearing the music all the time probably do it for me...

Just What I Needed is playing.. and it's making me a bit over emotional.... and I'm not sure why..

well probably for the mere idea of being able to go back...

I saw a post online today or yesterday that posed the question if you went back in time to age 10 and knew what you know now what would you do...

1.. tell my mom to fuck off..
2. invest in Apple & Microsoft.
3. profit..
4.???

I'm really amazed at how there are events that can set off these reactions...

Im not replacing so and so, just taking the open position.

That has to be the most depressing thing in all the world.

Think about it in the grand scheme of things... We are all replaceable and nothing truly matters.

Sure it's a pessimistic type view... But what is pessimistic, let a lone it's opposite but an idea that is rooted in emotion.

Strip the emotion away and yet again... We that place value on things that have no meaning in the grand scheme of things.

This is just an exercise in thought... I fully understand the significance of emotions. I say this as carefully as possible so as to not misconstrue the reader.

I would consider myself a realist. Regardless of my emotions or input.. Life will continue.

However I see hope in the future of continued  scientific exploration in a manner that benefits all.

Not having the means to do things fucks with your head.
