its truly shitty, unnecessary suffering is always crap to
hear, one thing about living in the UK we generally dont
have natural disasters

sarcophagus

the afterlife

it always felt like a skit that flying circus never got to:
and now, today's deaths!

then the telly is all "247 people died in italy," and two
englishmen dressed as old women are like, "ohhh, that's not
bad!"

on a deeper level, i'm almost paranoid about caring at a
distance for things of this sort. it feels like it just
distracts me from the here and now. it distracts me from
stuff i can actually do something about.

it's horrible, yes, and if i spent ten minutes really
stewing on it i'd probably work myself up to tears. that
this is expected of me for every tragedy around the world is
absurd. i'd be crying all day and nothing would be fixed. so
i've become thick-skinned for reasons of self-protection. it
is not about tuning out sadness so much as reserving it for
the things i deem appropriate.

i took this attitude consciously, and i found it really
pissed people off at times. that i have almost zero reaction
about some family of four killed by a drunk driver on the TV
news at 6pm gets hair ladies upset. i'm supposed to join in
this moment of pain for some people i didn't know, but if i
did that i'd be drained and miserable real fast. so the hair
ladies will just have to remain cross with my autistic
behind

i have come to view it all as a rippling feedback loop of
emotional control. we're supposed to be sad about things,
and if we aren't, we're either horrible monsters or need
doctors to give us pills. people harass the bad monkeys who
don't do as they're supposed to. over the years it's
internalized, and pretty soon all it takes is a few sick
puppies on the telly before you've maxed out your visa card
to sketchy TV charities. no, no thanks. that's not me

anyways, in real life, i make myself scare when people are
boo-hooing about strangers on the telly. it is suffocating.
there are many reasons i don't keep a can of silly-string in
my pocket, but one is that i would not be able to resist
hosing the whole sit-down. cheer up! you're alive! you
didn't know them! people you know are still alive! heck,
they're right here! let's all go for a run! no, nope. not
them. so i sit tight as all the robots throw sparks and try
not to draw attention to the fact that i find the whole
thing so automatic it genuinely frightens me to the point
where i want to snap everyone out of it.

since i can't do that, i rant on the internet, and there is
a modicum of harmony

if freqy reads the above and is like -- well, yes, i get
it
-- then that is a hell of a bonus. but, really, i'm
just in this thread to earth my frustrations with society in
a marginally constructive manner, and it works.

those quake beds are amazing.

not cheap i bet , a few grands.

yeah, what if your in the living room and your partner is
in bed ...does the bed get confused then? what if you jump
in bed at that precise moment and lose your pencil?

Your right if you get emotionally involved in every tragedy
you hear in the news you would quickly go mad, i know i
would

if an earthquake happed while i was recording a track, my
reaction would problably be: "wicked, i have to mash up the
fader on the room mic immediately" and they'd find my corpse
sheltering a minidisc recorder with a pretty good track out
of it. 9/10 material

but, misread of the day: quake beds? the textures in
the first quake game. the purple i stole, adjusted slightly,
for the official nevenen purple, #666699. you can go #222255
for accent, #BBBBDD to take it up a notch, and black font on
top

i should steal some of those textures too, they sound
somewhere between clark and snares

5.6 here yesterday
nobody died
stones fell off a building
overhype, propaganda and sensationalist news reporting
were abound
