Rule 1: Be excellent to each other

If your brain soup allows it, enjoy each day for what it gives. Find joy in living, in positive experiences. There will always be negative things to focus on. The older you get, the more negatives there are, because in addition to all the bullshit life throws at you, your body starts betraying you too. But there are good things to be had, to be experienced, every day.

In the words of Emily in Don Hertzfelt's World of Tomorrow, "Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead."

Haha yeah, I'm actually grateful for my crashout a few years ago. It revealed problems I'd been papering over for years

I didn't really have a lot of freedom then. Between familial and societal obligations I put on myself, and being broke as a joke, I have more freedom now than I did then. Actually, I think I miss the excitement of things being new. Music, movies, shows, art, games, when you're young you are experiencing things for the first time, your brain is still a sponge searching for stimulus, and it is exciting!

Not to say life is dull, pointless, or without hope as you age. But it does feel like Moria sometimes…

The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls

I miss the me that was alive when Red vs Blue was in it's first season

I don't miss having to use a cantenna to leech Wi-Fi from the Chipotle across the street because we were too broke to afford Internet, but I do miss 22yo me sometimes.

Then I remember what an asshole he could be, and ignorant as shit too.

Maybe I just miss the halcyon days of early Red vs Blue

Maybe that's why I still listen to Tales From the Stinky Dragon

Linux, being not leftist enough, jeans, atheism, and don't forget to block the tankies
