Title: When you have memory problems, Past You makes things fucking weird
Post by: Q. G. Pennyworth on October 29, 2016, 09:42:01 PM
"The monster could only speak in the gaps between clouds, the mechanism of its voice recharged in the darkness and released in the light. We were too close to the critical hour, and the skies were defiantly clear. Not a single cloud marked the still blue dome of sky over the placid, blue sea. So we called the weatherman."



I just found that written on a notepad in my room. It's in my handwriting, but I have no memory whatsoever of putting it down.

Huh. I've had that happen here on PD when I review a thread or when I dig into my older docs. Never had it sound so cool though. Nifty!

I once found a note I'd written without any recollection of it that said "The clock that is stopped is not broken; it has arrived."

That is definitely marginalia worthy

Fixed.

I found a couple of my non-sequiters in my phone's writer app apparently about here or about Discordianism.

This one was made on July 05 2016. I dimly remember writing a poem about PD, but had totally forgotten the context. I THINK it's meant to be a seafarers chorus because when I reread it my head had a tune I didn't recognize as well.

"We all are crew when call upon
For on the PD all are one
A ship of fools
And all for fun

The Good Times are here!!"

Another i don't remember writing at all and apparently stopped mid sentence dated May 3 this year.

"Local man's parents unable to accept son's choice to become a philosopher.

He said all his needs are met! -father weeping bitterly.
At least with a beggars they're really just looking for a handout. You know it. They know it. It's simple. You either"


This one is dated Mar 23 and i have no idea exactly what I meant.

"Every Discordian is Discordian, but not everyone that is Discordian is a Discordian. "



Cain... I sometimes wonder if She doesn't have a certain objective being. Just sometimes. Not a lot.

Love it when I find stuff like this, stuff I wrote and then completely forgot about to the point that it seems completely foreign. Rare, but it happens once in a great while.

I have a message I wrote my future self back when I was in my 20's. It's on a harddrive I have kicking about somewhere. I was either coming out of or going into a bout of insanity at the time. If I'd just written "Fuck me I got a lot to learn" a couple of hundred times it would have gotten pretty much the same message across.

Weird thing is, I remember writing every word  :eek:

Wow just today while cleaning I found a note I had apparently written years ago (guess based on content and location of the post-it) but have no actual memory of having written.  It was not nearly as interesting though, it had two things which appear to have been written at different times and different angles, with a different pen.

"244-199=46"
and
"GIMMEsomeINTERNETS!!"

The former of which is incorrect but that's what it says, and the latter of which was my wifi password a few years back.

Past you was bad at maths.

Also numerology = demonic influence = possession.  I've seen The Exorcist, I know where this is going.

I find random shit like this from Drunk Eris (often along with random food, weed, or someone else's lost belongings). Lemme see

"So they became merchants instead of monarchs with the fresh false promise of equality if only one worked hard enough"

Kinda pretentious but balance that with this dribble

"like Nebuchadnezzar, be seein mad signs and snorting mad lines, like the crop circles and the broken scruples, of a dead people Dead Sea and thirst world

Sweet like aspartame "

I don't know why drunk me does anything so don't ask

Pretty sure past me wrote a letter to future me that's around here somewhere.

That should be hilarious and a little embarrassing when I find it.

I was cleaning off my desk this weekend and found a nearly incomprehensible sketch I'd made along with the following note:

"He opens his mouth and shit spews forth continuously, ceasing only when he feels the need to poo from his butt."

Your guess is as good as mine...
...
...thanks, Past Me!

Drunk Eris stole a fancy pumpkin today but thankfully only wrote the drivel you see here

I just had Facebook remind me of a forgotten poem from EXACTLY 5 years ago.

I and you, embers living for hours
The slow lick, fiery tongue on hot coal
No flame this, warm sweetness and shadow
Slow moments, crawling as wood meets it's match
Completeness, a burning without concern of loss
Now timeless, you and I burn eternal as we part

This was WAY before I even started willing pursuing poetry as the muse strikes. I'm almost weirded out by the intensity of it, but kinda proud of forgotten past-me!

I just found a drunk note to myself in my desk. It says:

"If you know what and how to sell things, you can tell social scientists what to study, by writing about what you want to know".

Just don't FB and drink for now. I suspect sobriety has fled and folks now have a proxy to get angry through, but mostly under real names. Going to be fun to see the PROFOUND info powers of the various "intelligence" agencies come under Donnie's perview, well his people anyway. Other than having an apocalyptic nazi cult influence the most unlikely of executives ever to sit in office this worries me most. He's the kind of guy to delegate and just want "summaries" from his own trusted few. He will probably never truly know half of what he signs off on and what he might willingly and knowingly greenlight under seal is bad enough for bedtime consideration, let alone what he may never hear of directly or incidentally support.

I appreciate the advice.


You may not know me that well, but it's appreciated, nonetheless.

Fair warning intended only. Folk do as they will these days and I respect that in the way I would respect any other dangerous thing in the common folk. In your case, and a great many others here, I'm most interested to see the results. I don't drink much myself, but after seeing several folks I once had respect for there on FB playing their Trumps all loud while the shit goes down all over the country I'm thinking it's time to take the muse rather SERIOUSLY for a while. Whatever I happen to have left really.

Did you know that I can SING LIKE HELL and have nothing but a few drops of divine rage left keeping me going?True fact. I could just spit nails.  :evilmad:

FB sent me this one this morning. Again exactly 5 years ago to the day.

like all things it's done
in every way complete
a ruin with purpose made
stones fit for re-building
I will shed my world
I will start again
I will become the maker
I will make the stones fit right
