"What's Your Recomendation?" or "You Are What You Are Because Others Are, Too"

[Overcast]

1) The first time I had a mentos, after that the rest of my life was just living off the high of that first freshmaker.

Or. I was five years old, I was lying in bed. I was thinking. I realized that I could die and the paranoia of that thought burned at me for years until it became the underlying source of everything that I do in my life. It was that perfect understanding of what the meaning of life is, and that is life, so any extension in life is an expansion of the meaning. I won't be whole until I am immortal.

2) Kicking in the nuts, before that I once feared men that were larger than me. But from that point on I realized that anyone can be defeated with a swift kick to their testiculars.

Alright, in actuality art, in all its particular forms and its appreciation. A biological response arises from the stimulation of your senses. While pain is a way of knowing you are still alive I much rather prefer pleasure, and books, paintings, and most definitely music get me by. I set this as something a family member recommended because I didn't become so deeply engrossed by it until intervention from someone else. And now I live on it.

3) Krylo's Athenian Penis.



I'm sorry, can't help myself. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. If there is any one videogame that fully sold me on the prospects of a Transhumanism and has helped cement a list of ideals for the future to come it was this game. Sure we don't live on a planet we can one day make sentient, but the baseline of hard science and the potential of our own people keep me smiling. Also it will consume you life and still after many playthroughs somehow still keeps me up until late into the night when I really should be sleeping.

4) Your mom.


Don't worry it's almost over. Nothing really, I've lived my life on fair bits of moderation so I never fell on certain foods. I was never all that religious and God was just a plot point in my inane childhood sessions of make believe. I also have a STRONG connection to my nostalgia, it is one of my favorite feelings, and so even bad times in my past I can look back with fond bitterness, and bad media with an an amused grin. So...nothing. A life well lived is one without regrets.

5) My father for teaching me the worth of being kind. My mom for teaching me the worth of being self serving. My therapist for teaching me the worth of being amused at everything you do, good or bad, and learning from it rather than dwelling. My brother for teaching me that if I am too much of genius my neck will snap under the weight of my own bullshit and I should let loose here and there. And Seil for talking me into piercing my junk, it hurt but he's right it looks fucking sweet.

1) What - be it a relative, a friend, a pet, an epiphany - was it that was the turning point? Where did you fall in love with Chopin, at what point did you discover Kubrik, when did you first read Clevinger?
It'd be a lie if I told you I have an answer to that. One day I randomly decided to just lose some weight, which I did. From there it went up(down?)hill. Does that count?

2) What is a current passion, love, secret that was recommended to you by a friend or family member?
Motherfucking comics! I got back into them by myself, but I wouldn't be so deep in if it weren't for all the recommendations of really good stuff that isn't a crappy superhero story where they don't even try to make major events like, for instance, character deaths look like they matter for obvious reasons.

3) What is something that you would recommend, be it music, artistry, cinematic or prose? (1 thing)
Venetian Snares' Rossz Csillag Alatt Született. What really got me hooked was Hajnal then I listened to the whole album, and from there I acquired the taste for the rest of his Albums.

4) What was something you were fond of that you really dislike since you've gotten older?
Non-magic melee classes in RPG type games. Lawl I'm a node!

5) Name the most influential person in your life, be it someone you know or otherwise.
Your Mother. (e: Actually, overcast, and everyone else who stole the your mom joke from me through time, fuck y'all <3)
