Update on the last week

    Hi folks,

    A number of people have reached out over time to me on this message board asking for updates and such, so I was thinking I'll try to keep you all updated a little on what's happening for me. Maybe once a week or whenever I have time.

    Couple of minor events this week:

    I spent the earlier part of the week watching Virginia Madsen films. I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful girls ever to have been seen on television. Specifically: What she had that a lot of starlets today are lacking is a powerful and almost confrontational personality (she was no "shrinking-violet").

    I personally find that personality type very hot- but yes, she was also hyper-feminine and could be a sassy lady too. She has fleshy, firm, peach-coloured arms and juicy breasts, but actually, quite the demanding and inquisitive countenance. I feel like she would readily ask a lot of rather astute questions if she got the sense that you had knowledge in any field, even something esoteric, and she has said she believes in the supernatural, which I do too.

    Anyway, why this is interesting is because I was watching these movies earlier in the week around 5PM to 8PM each night, and I was eating humus directly out of a pot with celery sticks (I am a fifty year old man) and I kind of got this uncanny feeling a few times, like, wow life is passing me by. Specifically: would the man I was thirty years ago recognise the man I am now. Would he be even remotely interested in this guy even?

    Second related thing is that I discovered an old ipod from around 2006 in the garage. Hadn't been charged in fifteen years. In fact to be honest I have almost no memory of acquiring this device. It is not familiar to me except in
    an extremely vague and distant way (I think I maybe won it in a promotion?). But what a trip back to the past when I charged it up and listened to those old tunes. Everything was fastidiously ordered as per the course when it comes to me, and the strange thing was I realised my taste in music has not grown or changed much in this time and I listen to pretty much the exact same music I did back in those days. Okay so in some ways it was a strange mix. Specifically: I had for example both Xzibit and Monteverdi, Gnarls Barkley and Bach, Herman's Hermits, Whitehouse etc. But the point is, I guess I started to think about my age and a kind of unsettling feeling crept all over my body as I again wondered whether my thirty year old self would have sneered at the present me, looked down at me in some way, as if I have become to comfortable, too unadventurous, too risk adverse, and you can measure the slackening of the mind with the tightened feeling of my belt perhaps- I used to be a very lean guy, kind of wiry

    Okay that's it for now. Talk soon.

    Cool story bro. Aside from the hummus part. That's just wrong. No joy in celery and hummus...

    Yeah, I feel like I'm not in on some joke here.

    No, I don’t think it’s a joke. I’m guessing that user is just a busy person and doesn’t have “time” to reply to PMs.

    At least I’m not the only one. Anyway, have to say, if I’m being honest, I’d prefer Elisabeth Shue to Virginia Madsen. But that’s just me.

    It's a sad tale of unrequited love. :(

    Our hero had a crush on another boardsie, but alas, she didn't feel the same. He may also be married.

    I loved Virginia Madsen (Maya) in that scene from Sideways where she talks with Paul Giamatti (Miles) about the life of wine, perhaps the most beautiful and moving monologue on the silver screen about wine, and the parallels between the life of wine and our lives.

    OP, this touched me deeply. You could be describing my life. Except all the details and facts and anecdotes are completely different. Actually, when I think about it for a second, I don’t relate to anything you said at all. Except Whitehouse. You and me, we’ll always have Whitehouse. “Wriggle like a fücking eel” eh? Eh? I always wanted to have a “they’re playing our song” moment. And now I can.
