I had this idea, years back, to start a subreddit for missed photos, IMAP instead of ITAP—“I missed a picture.” I was going to make it a paragraph description, but this would be just as good.
Edit: guys, see how this is all in the past tense? I’m not going to be doing it. I don’t want to be a mod.
I mean, these things are grossing hundreds of millions, and I haven’t been to the movies in almost a decade, don’t have TV, and seldom stream anything like TV or movies.
My video habits have gotten much more personal over the years. I’ll watch specific adaptations, and specific YouTubers, but that’s about it. For my brain-mush time, I generally play videogames and listen to audiobooks.
I’m in my mid 40s and, due to many things, it’s too late for me. They won’t shift without falling out.
I had half my teeth extracted last year, currently waiting on tens of thousands of dollars worth of implant and bridge work. If my teeth had been aligned, I’d still have some bad ones replaced, but it would’ve been far simpler.
I mentioned it in my initial reply, but it’s important to say that friends aren’t generally made during the activity itself. You’re going to make friends by helping set up, making sure the space is clean afterwards, etc. During a club meeting or volunteer time, you really only have time to focus on The Thing, not each other. The magic happens in the fifteen minutes before the event
Honestly, besides family, everyone I know outside of work, including my partner, came through sobriety-related meetings.
Outside of that resource (and assuming I was normal and not drinking myself to death), I’d say I would need to be volunteering or involved in some cooperative activity.
The friends don’t come from the activity, either. Not in sobriety, nor otherwise. The friends come from showing up early and staying late. The people of character are going to be the ones keeping the activity happening for everyone else.
Cursing all the time is like yelling all the time. It loses its effect. That said, If you’re going to swear, don’t fucking censor your words. It’s just stupid.
Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It’s got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.
This album and band is endangered, no CD’s, unavailable on any music streaming service.
The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.
One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend’s sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.
The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member’s channel, which hasn’t been updated in 11 years.
