comix64i realized that, yes, life really is about the pursuit of happiness. i personally find this is more a pursuit of entertainment to some people than general happiness, but those two go hand-in-hand, though not many really consider this. to have a partner is to be entertained by them. to take a stroll is to be entertained by the scenery. to be hurt is to be entertained by the wound. my point is, life is one big jest, one Infinite Jest coughsnort and so nothing really matters other than your own happiness. its ok to get hurt. its really ok to die i think. branching of the universes at every turn. thus far i just happen to be on the good branch. if life gets shitty thats ok too. im still alive, and thus at least a minimal amount of entertainment is pulsed through me.
i find if im not entertained i tend to drift toward depression. during this i feel as though entertainment (nostalgia et al) is some sort of plague. i see people on their Tick Tocks and their Instant Gratifications and i feel as though they're locked into it. that is, they're distracted to a ridiculous point. this type of entertainment is unmemorable to an extreme degree and so while it does fit the glove of "entertainment", i dont like it.
i like that i feel i'm learning relatively quickly in the "outlook on life and the self" department. obviously this wont help me in my day to day life, but it doesnt need to help me there, because it defines and outlines what a day to day life really is.
anyway, finally, things that've happened to me, rather than this bleachy sad work! i just got notified that pretendo network added Luigi's Mansion 2 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, so im excited for that online stuff, especially acnl, which i missed for a long time. hopefully i can make some friends on tortimer's island. writing about this old game on this simply-styled website made me feel much younger for a moment... :'-(
