Brainwashing... Yep those were the days sitting on the steps of the law school and talking sports. Now we just have the occasional phone call to talk...sports.
I came to this thread specifically to see if Holden posted something depressing in it. Man, I knew you wouldn't let me down. I'm hoping that if you and DallasThomas spend enough time reading one another's posts, you can each achieve a happy median between existential angst and dopamine-joy.
i thought that was one of the most positive things ive ever posted. it was totally heartfelt, sincere, and not sarcastic at all. but hey, take it for what its worth. thats what makes me happy imagining the possibilities tommarrow holds, specifically regarding relationships. how is that negative? i dont understand.
In Holden's defense, i thought it was a pretty positive thing to post as well. If you put your hand over the computer screen and cover up the frowning face (that he always puts, for some reason) then it just seems like any other person who feels like the only thing missing from their life is love. That is not really all that depressing, that is life, and I can relate.
Holden, My response was not at all sarcastic either...I really meant that you are one of my favorite posters here. Your particular post here was rather optimistic regardless. And sarcasm or not, your posts always make me smile. Thanks.
Geez... Don't you people know a good Devo lyrics when you see it! I just got back from a week in the great north woods of Maine. I'm VERY Happy about that! I'm about to open a new play in New York, my wife loves me, my parents are well!
It could just be that your reputation precedes you. Whenever I see your name, I read your post in a Nick Drake voice. Everything sounds depressing like that. Even so, your post had a bitter edge to it: perhaps there is a positive hope for the future, but there was an implication (or at least an inference on my part) that there is something you currently lack that makes you less than whole. I don't mean to pick on you, though I feel like I am. It's just that I feel for you, but really can do nothing for you through an ethernet line but flail my arms. So I flail. So, sorry about the whole thing; I probably should have just kept my mouth shut.
