Alright, see you later

Alright,

Basically, I know people at the animating studio and was able to watch the first and second episode of Alley cats last night

This is my honest review of it:

First things first its listed under "comedy" but it just wasn't very funny.

And I was really excited because I thought Oh great Ricky Gervais he's really funny in that programme I must watch this Im gonna die laughing but god it was painful.

I think a bit of humour, a bit of prep would have gone a long way.

2/10

My body is screaming out due to my caffeine addiction, I feel like a raisin lol

Just wondering if we had time, alright?

Hi guys wondering if you could help me, been down the rabbit hole of modded ipods mainly 6/7th gens for the last month thinking about pulling the trigger although i'm wondering if its necessary for my situation.

I would only need the ipod for when I do cardio sessions about 2 times a week, and some light listening around the house, I'd replace spotify with it ideally. I'm guessing it would be worth it anyways as Spotify costs about £120 per year so i'd get just as much and way more out of one.

I guess what I'm asking is could I just get a standard Ipod or should I go for the modded?

Thanks

I just abuse this stimulant to mask my inner emotional pain, 3-4 cups of coffee a day sometimes an energy drink on top, I know how bad it is yet I can't stop.

I literally can't function without being stimulated and psyched up to the point when I'm shaking. The hilarious thing is I still think I'm somehow productive when most of the time I'm just staring at a screen doing nothing but fighting overly intrusive thoughts in my head.

During moments of the crash I just spend laying down because I can't function, can't even tidy up and do basic tasks this sounds so embarrassing now typing this out but it's true sadly and it needs to be a wake up call.

I have anxiety and OCD so Caffeine should be a no-go but I still don't take the hint even looking around at the mess my life is in...

Truth is folks, I need to quit not only for my health but to find out who I really am.

(sorry for the rant)

So to preface this I absolutely believe Christ came to Earth and was a being of deep enlightened knowledge. Not hugely important to this post just thought i'd say before hand.

Anyways about a year ago, loneliness was really getting to me it still does sometimes as I don't have many friends at all due to not finding the right people in life I guess, also I find it hard to talk about things such as TV, pop culture, drinking, sex etc which in my experience has been every friend group i've been in.

So last summer I walked past a church on my way to the gym, and I decided to go in as it was open for the summer for prayers, I found I liked to sit there everyday it was calm and peaceful, it's ambience, something about it.

I met a priest there and he was really nice, asked how I was doing, not judgy at all, real community centred guy, caring etc. He'd make me a coffee sometimes and we'd chat.

After a while he convinced me to start coming to church, and to a few gatherings etc it was nice because I got to meet people and I was lonely like I mentioned. But after a while I got the sense that I had feared, I didn't get any feeling of spirituality from the church and any question I'd ask privately that maybe poked a doubt in it I got the sense that you'd better just not ask.

Anything on energy, chakras, blissfulness, levels of consciousness seemed far too abstract, and free thinking and treated as heresy, it was at that point really that I felt it no longer right to me.

And to suggest some people who dedicate their lives to others, to their communities, who act of love would still go to hell because they may belong to a different belief... it just felt wrong.

I liked and still do some esoteric christian writings, obviously Jesus' teachings

but I also like Rumi, Hafez, the Tao, Ram Dass etc which wasn't deemed as compatible with Christianity.

And finally it got me thinking the feeling I feel in my heart so strong so deep this spirit body/ soul that seems to emanate within me to describe that is formless, beyond words let alone one religious philosophy.

"the tao that can be named is not the eternal tao"

Much love to you all.

Don't know if i'll get downvoted for this/ if this is the place to ask just thought I would.

I keep asking myself what Hunter would be doing today, if he'd even be published and writing or would he be doing another career, no doubt he would be living life to the full.
