The original Matrix trailer was such stylish mystery and intrigue. Media consumption volume of the average person was drastically less than today and its release predated wide broadband availability. IYKYK but that film dropped like an absolute hype bomb and deserved all the love & success it received.

People will come to work and say “oh sorry, I can’t read that since I’m not wearing my glasses” and I’m like “why would you go anywhere without glasses if you need glasses?” I just don’t understand it.

Just watched the Stop Making Sense A24 remaster in IMAX two weekends ago and it was absolute fire.

Forced Retirement

I literally slapped myself in the face like in the movies. Then I pulled over for a 30 min nap when I got to a rest stop.

While I did use Wordpad pretty regularly as a scratch pad, I get Word access through work and mostly use Notepad at home for config stuff. I don’t see this as that big of a blow.

I have heard this my entire life and now that I recently have kids and a home, I find it to be an insane take. If anything, the greater my knowledge of the world becomes the MORE liberal I am. I’m significantly more aware of rigged systems and injustice as I age.

You def won’t be able to play EVERYTHING. Probably most things actually. But I bet there is some song you like or your parents kinda liked (that you don’t mind) that only uses A, D, C, G, Am, Em, Dm.

In addition to finding some online instruction, I highly recommend looking for a song you actually want to play instead of just folk songs and traditionals. Unless you’re a die hard jazz fan, I’m certain if you made a list of 10 songs you’d be able to find a tune within reach. There are so many songs built with open chords that most beginners learn first, defiantly seek them out!

People who use exfoliating gloves and wash clothes are fine and all but it’s not like the majority of the world works in high viscosity grease factories. I roll bare-handed and never stink or feel dirty during a typical day.

I’m a real estate office drone who loves guitar and video games. Took a programming 101 class and absolutely hated it. Fuck Spez!
