Existentially Nested @muddytwoshoes - Tumblr Blog

In light of today’s bird app news, I’m glad we can be an inspiration to those less fortunate than us. Godspeed

To whom it may concern.

There aren’t enough #brandyspecials in the world to help me get over that farce that was Ireland v South Africa yesterday.

World Rugby, with their infinite wisdom, choose to assign the greenest of refs to the first battle of the greens in 5 years. Sure, one goal could have made all the difference but that’s not the issue here. The issue, I believe, is setting up a revenge game for the next World Cup, drawing in viewers and cashing in on an emerging rivalry they hope will stretch for decades.

Instead of running to twitter to complain, I listened to the people around me who watched the game. Even those who think I’m a radical ref hating malcontent agreed though.

Now, we’re left with a single question... Is it worth the effort? Is it really still a sport, or are we now just seeing a modern version of WWE made for rugby fans to howl, spit, and drool over?

Rugby is dead to me.

I grew up and realized that The Undertaker didn’t really sleep in a coffin. The same principle applies here, you dick stains who work at world rugby won’t fool me again.

Good day to you.

Rugby + Tumblr

What the hell happened?

#brandyspecial

Jesus but tumblr has gone to shit.

Facebook and Instagram aren't much better. Twitter now the only platform that allows you to block advertizers.

In all fairness, I'm too old for SM anyway. Should probably stick to the 24h news cycle from now on.

Ah, and podcasts. What did I do before podcasts? Read... That's right. I read all kinds of stuff. Modern science, philisophy, heroic fantasy, comedy fiction. Could always go back to that.

God forbid I should actually physically engage with real people. My community is filled with gnashing personalities who show obnoxious self-satisfaction. To hell I say!

Ah, but the doggos. They get it. Bark at unannounced visitors and threaten strangers with horrible flashes of teeth predicting swift and unrelenting violence. They get it.

I'll join humanity again one day. My current routine isn't sustainable, I know. One day my impulses will change, it's inevitable. For now, it's enough to get drunk early and rosey the perceptions before night's fall. For now.

“The aim of language is to communicate, to impart to others the results one has obtained. As I talk, I reveal the situation. I reveal it to myself and to others in order to change it.”

“I abhor the vulgarity of John Stuart Mill, which wants to establish all human intercourse on the basis of mutual services, so that every action appears as a kind of payment for something done to us.”

—F. Nietzsche, The Will to Power, §926 (edited excerpt).

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean gaining girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."

- Bukowski

Bach on Sunday evening

My first thought Will always be Should it be overcome or Accepted Simply, Put it away or Punch it Really really good things Rarely good things Righteous stuff but also Hinderances and terrible decaying and consuming frivilous things, are just as likely Effort brings And god’s great curse isn’t the suffering not the futility not the mundanity but the maybe and the finity of our energy Then Each thing instead according to its worth its actual final meaning So reading, feeling, finding and thinking Before acting Every f-ing ing! Embracing or so-longing Take it all Leave it all For a while Repeat a while Reconstitute and conclude Know that it doesn’t mean A god damn anything

Merry stuff.

Here's the gist of it...

"Bless you, of course, you’re keeping me from work,

But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.

There’s work enough to do—there’s always that;

But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do

Is set me back a little more behind.

I sha’n’t catch up in this world, anyway.

I’d rather you’d not go unless you must."

- Robert Frost
