grep -v wilderment

it is a mystery

Totally Y with all the shit I seem to land in.

i feel like that gif. of the baby terrified by going through a tunnel

i don't know if bewildered is the right word for me for life. people are bewildering though. and often frustrating. maybe more frustrating than bewildering.

bell labs OTM.

Srsly I cant work out shit right now. People I thought I knew are actin' weird all over the place. Maybe it's me.

PPLS DRINK YOUR WAY THRU TEH CONFUSION.

yah so drubj

I ALREADY DO JOHN I THINK THIS R WHY I R CONFUZED.

STAY TEH COURSE, BLV IN YR DRNKSLEF

in all sriousness recognizing confusion is brilliant

that sounds like a revisionist version of a sonic youth album title

PPLS DRINK YOUR WAY THRU TEH CONFUSION.

Do you guys think that works? I'm still on the fence on that one. I met this guy who had been in some terrible accident which involved head trauma, and he was completely lucid on each occasion that I talked to him...but one thing that sticks out from our conversations is he mentioned something about drinking being a means of gaining "clarity of perspective" for him, or some such (I think after the accident, he stopped drinking for a year or so).

Anyhow, when he said that, I thought, "yes, exactly; the guy is reading my mind"...but is such a viewpoint just the first step on some slippery slope to semi-alcoholism?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

q: waht to do?

[ ] stay in l.a. & find job
[ ] move to london & find job
[ ] move to san francisco & find job

huh. re: above dell story, I think my drinking increased after being on the head trauma end of a car accident, so that's a little freaky.

I am mostly serious abt drink thru the confusion, BTW, although not always.

Oh yeah, the guy also claimed that his IQ greatly increased after the accident, and that he could suddenly do math incredibly well and stuff.

Yeah, now that didn't happen over here. The only long-term change I've noticed is that I now reverse the words for "green" and "orange", which is bizarre.

huh, weird

You mean as in, "But officer, I coulda sworn that light had turned orange!"?

Things like green lights or, grass or, well, oranges (that are sort of cognitively permalinked to their color) I get right. If I'm talking about someones sweater or the color of a wall, I get it wrong 100% of the time unless I pause and carefully think about it.

It's fucked up, but hey, as weird brain things go, I'll take it over whatever else.

Yeah, it beats most of the stories in those Oliver Sacks books, for sure.

but enough about my broken brain, i think the correct answer is NOT SURE LOL

lol drunk buddhist

srsly so drucnk that nite

but yeah i do find understanding that life is bewildering helpful. rather than trying to solve everything and getting further confused.

all i know is that i don't know nothin'

All I know is that my gut says "maybe". If I die, tell my wife "hello".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

OUCH.

I don't really know what thread to put this in but I was pretty bewildered when I heard that Kanye song where he sings about Drunk Hot Girls to the tune of Can's "Sing Swan Song"
