Is there a 'true' definition for The Hole? If so, what exactly is it?

~ ♠️ / Spade Anon

The Hole is when you're stuck in your own head and can't get your thoughts right. You can't see how to move forward with a certain project or detail of a project and you're slowly driving yourself crazy. If you don't get out of the hole, you'll probably either end up breaking your computer, disappearing for months on end, end up having some kind of mental breakdown, or some combination there of. Getting out of the hole means clearing your mind, and being able to focus on the clearer path.

What have you all got for me today? Ask me whatever you like.

I'd love some music recs, the Colin cassette if you will

Easy. Grab a pen.

Anything by Tangerine Dream, M83 (Holograms, Night) Yosi Horikawa, Cosmic Hoffman, Jean-Mitchel Jarre. Those are in the vibe, relax, refocus, destress category, which I’m guessing you could use, yeah?

I need to get out of the hole

Have you turned to music to start with? That’s the first place I go. What does your playlist look like? Maybe I can make some recommendations. Your first step is to change it up. Settle your nervous system.

[thecolinritman]

You seem so cool man, does everything happen for a reason? If so, what's that reason? Why does life have to hurt.

That is the question isn’t it?

Unfortunately we don’t really know the reason. Until we do. There has to be something that comes after the thing that has you questioning. Wondering. Doesn’t there? Only then does it make sense.

But essentially yes. I believe everything does happen for a reason. Whether for your own benefit that you may not understand now or possibly ever, or someone else’s benefit who needs it even more. Maybe even yourself from another time or place.

All we can do is hope that the universe has our best interests at heart, and go from there. And be strong with whatever life sends our way. Be kind to ourselves and be kind to others even if it might be hard. Always try to be kind to yourself.

You always deserve kindness, and should always try to pass that same kindness onto others to balance out the system.

Hopefully you’re doing alright, anon. I’m here if you need to talk.

have you ever shown stefan london's nightlife?

That one’s been a bit of a give and take. He’s taken me places and I’ve shown him some of my favorite haunts as I like to call them. You can really learn a lot about a person just by where they choose to take you, and I haven’t been disappointed. Hopefully he hasn’t either.

[thecolinritman]

I’m around for a while, you can all fill up my ask box if that’s what you like. I’ll answer them as they come in as I’m all caught up.

[thecolinritman]

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

Probably telekinesis, or telepathy. Maybe invisibility. Actually, invisibility sounds like a really good one. That might be the winner.

[thecolinritman]

BE MORE ACTIVEEE im missing ur posts 😭😭😭

Ask me more. Be the change you want to see in the world, yeah?

[thecolinritman]

how many times have you smashed/ have wanted to smash your keyboard?

-🎱🌌

Oh, loads of times. It’s like a right of passage or something in this business.

[thecolinritman]

glad to have you back, man. any new projects?

There is one thing I’ve been working on but it’s all hush hush so I can’t say much. You know how it is.

[thecolinritman]

How is Pearl doing?

Pearlie's great. Haven't heard from her mum in a while, so It's just been me taking care of her. Which is fine. I know Kit needs her space from time to time. She'll pop back up eventually. She always does.

[thecolinritman]

Welcome back, Colin! Glad to see you still around!

(Now that you’re back… NozeDyve remaster, when?)

Thanks. Glad to be back. You know, they tell you not to mess with masterpieces. Just kidding, but honestly, probably not going to happen.

[thecolinritman]

project just involves a whole lot of painting and none of it works. do you ever feel like you work and work and get nowhere? I’m close though, I can feel it.

All the time. You'll get there. I'm sure a breakthrough is closer than you think.

[thecolinritman]

I heard about a rumor about a “Colin” Convention, that was originally scrapped because the fanboys didn’t wear deodorant.

Would you ever consider doing one again? Let alone be apart of “Colin” Con?

Not only have I never heard of this, I'm going to have to go with a big, no thank you on this one. Amusing though.
