So about that ennui thing...

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I have a Soviet Navy coat which usually stops my bitching. Except... I had bedbugs and shit this year.

Twid,
Praying to plastic bag.


I really really love that Soviet coat. Warmest thing ever. I mean, it's Soviet. What says colder than fuck than Soviet?

[Dildo Argentino]

Twid, I hate to be the one to tell you this...
But my popularity is increasing and I have an irresistible compulsion to do something about that, so (I've been keeping this to myself for weeks):

Your music sucks. Choose something different to define your life.

No, you don't want to drink all that marvellous stuff, it's the booze talking.

Move more. Find a boxing club. Have a fight with someone who has a reasonable chance of not breaking your nose by accident the first time.

I'd take your musical tastes into consideration, but I don't fucking care about your take on it.

If any other PDers agree with Holist about my music, feel free to tell me. I won't be offended.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Maybe Holist is right.

Maybe my music sucks. I'll just assume you don't want to hear about any of it unless you tell me otherwise.

Roger- I know you want a copy, it's coming with the Christmas card.

LMNO, I know you already have a copy.

Holist, thank you for your money.

so hey. I bought this album by some irish spag and his band easterners. it's not too terrible. When is the next album coming out?

Coyote, his musical tastes are probably shite.

I don't want to turn this into a drugs thread... but when I've been bitten by ennui (which happens on the rare occasion) I've found that a mild LSD trip pulls me out of it and seems to reboot my brain. Not recommending it for everyone, but it seems to work for me.

I don't think LSD is a magical thing that magically shows me the real world or any hippy shit like that... but, for me, it does seem to shift my perspective enough that I forget about how bored I am and creative stuff starts exploding out of me like an over full twinkie. Maybe its the several hours of uninterrupted distraction, maybe its something else. One of my friends would engage in what he called extreme meditation (the yoga freak ) to ward off ennui and it seemed to work for him.

So maybe its just that there is sometimes a need to completely distract yourself in some way for a day to restart the brain? Maybe its the daily repeating pattern that drags us down?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Coyote- i hear this band wants to write new material in january because they are tired of playing the same set list.

Rat- my ompletely absorb brain reboot is usualluy playing civ for a whole day. And ive been playing civ and i find myself getting frustrated because im playing civ.

[LMNO]

I don't have the ennui.  Had it a while ago, though, and it sucks.

I think ennui might not be the right word for what I have. Maybe it is, but it feels more like Spring fever at the dead wrong time of year.

What ever it is, it feels wrong, cigarette or not.

I want to EAT

everything tasty to the human palate seriously gimme that food

I want to DRINK

all the wicked good shit. I want the good booze. I want the balance of percentage and novelty


I want to FIGHT


I've never been in a proper fight in my life. GIve me a reason. Seriously. There's so much to fight for. Pick a fight.


I FEEL ALIVE.

FEEL ALIVE WITH ME. OR DIE.

It honestly sounds like you have a case of the Dimos.  Go down to RI and go to a hardcore show together.  Then start writing music with him. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Not a bad idea. I am due for a visit.

[EK WAFFLR]

This makes me realise I'm long overdue for a good old fashioned pub brawl.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Doesnt even really have to be that for me. I just need something to do. I feel even more fidgety today.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Actually the less alcohol it involves the better. Its easy for me not to be bored if im drinking. I want to address the root problem though. Im bored with myself.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So, it occurs to me that I'm a student again, and that my college has a gym, and my college is between home and work. Next week I'm going to get some sneakers and my student ID and just go every morning.
