Your pointless thoughts & observations

After almost a month of working as a delivery person, I'm surprised to notice that Monday seems to be the most popular night for people ordering in, and Friday is the least popular.  Thought it would be the reverse.  Kind of makes sense though, as Friday's more of a "let's go out to eat" kind of night.  Not sure why Monday's so crazy busy though.  9-5 workers trying to cure their start of the week depression?

Also, this is the only job I've ever legitimately enjoyed, aside from studio work (and sometimes I don't enjoy that).  My boss is an app!

I always get a rush of lush music when I'm tired as shit, just as I'm starting to fall asleep sitting in my couch or wherever, has come to the point where I go "oh here comes the music again, time to go to bed". It's pretty good, I wish there was some way to record it.

 

Not sure how many musicians have done this (RDJ has IIRC) but many artists and scientists have attested to using this phenomenon as part of their creative, inventive, and problem solving process.

 

I've considered that it's Hypnagogia before, but I'm not sure what happens to me counts as that. It's definitely not directly tied to sleep or sleepiness, though it can happen at those times as well, it's much more common when I'm wide awake. The excerpted parts quoted here sums it up relatively well, though for me, obviously.

Snatches of imagined speech are common. ...typically nonsensical and fragmented... the voices of others: familiar people or strangers. More rarely... music is heard.

 

Given that it's something that feels like it's ALWAYS going on (as in, I can hear them at any point I want if I can quiet down everything else), has always sort of worried me, and ultimately that's what makes me wonder if it's something different entirely or just a more rare form of the same basic thing as hypnagogia (which btw is a great slumbr release! I forget who that is on WATMM but I've always loved this album and I had to mention it since we're talking about it).

Wish I had lush music happen, mine's always weird and terrible and almost exclusively what I would normally deem as annoying trash. Oddly, there's more and more music that's getting closer to the sounds in my head these days, so I guess I'm psychic? That's definitely it. My mind has been hearing the shitty Soundcloud music of 2020 for the past 30 years of my life :)

 

Actually, there's been some scientific progress in the last few years in translating thoughts and memories into images by reading the right parts of the brain, maybe they're working on sound as well? It's very much fringe right now, and I'm not sure the science is fully legit, but from the little I've heard it seems to be at least partly real. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/08/japanese-scientists-use-artificial-intelligence-to-decode-thoughts.html

 

Top post.

^^ I would say it is the imagination of sounds going on, not merely allucinative hypnagogic state. When your brain is more relaxed, and near to sleep or at swallow sleeping phases it can do that better, and a part of your default area of activity in the brain is responsible because somehow it likes or enjoys to do it. Heavy Intelectually driven people are more prone to this mental behaviour I think

Great stand up routine Zephyr, I'll certainly never see crocs again without giving your sister's snapping alligator shoes in 7-eleven a quick though.

Thanks man.

Was really happy about having solved a bug in my program, but then thought if solving a fuckup that you yourself caused in the first place is something to be proud of

fucking song slays me. it's so good in every way and that melody is happy bliss but all of it is amazing.

Just noticed on heli shots of the Dakar that "NOISIA" is "VISION" upside down.

 

I feel about as smart as when I first noticed the C in the Carrefour logo after ten years or so of shopping there.

Just realised VHS Head is a pun.

milo yiannopoulos' white privilege grant charity has shut down. sad

I love how at the beginning of every Bob Ross episode he says something like "So today I thought we would just do a fun little painting...". Like, I thought we were going to be doing spreadsheets or algebra or something, but a painting? Sweet. And a fun little one? Even better. I don't mean this cynically at all.

i should get off the internets

there's a plumber here all day replacing old pipes.. so, i think if i order a pizza and go hide in the closet a porn might happen.. but there's a lot of variables to consider

I grow chest hair at an alarming rate

Spring is awesome

up here in southern sweden we had 20 degrees today from snow last week.. weather is fucked

It rained so hard on my drive home from work that I had to go less than 20mph on the highway. I could barely see the car in front of me.

Yesterday I splashed hot (vegetable) oil on myself whilst frying chebureki at work, and then I realized it was Friday the 13th.

Superstition confirmed?

I like driving in thick fog.

Thicc fog

My favorite underwear is too warm for this weather.

Since I stopped taking drugs (yeah yeah yeah apart from beer) I've turned into a right fucking boring cunt

yes I feel one with nature, yes I can remember loads more stuff I did from way-back-when, yes I no longer want to kill myself (that's probably the deal breaker), yes I awake 10 minutes before my alarm rings at 4.30am, yes I can now run for half an hour at full pace without really struggling, yes I can cycle my bike all day long up a hill without breaking a sweat, yes I read more books, yes I have lots more money in my savings account, yes I am no longer some fucking rat-scroat drug dealers bitch, yes I can do 50 press-ups, yes my family think I am once again a good, responsible person

And yes I am a total fucking boring cunt. One on the most boring fucking cunts at work turned round to me the other day and laughed and called me boring cunt. You know what? the cunt is well right. I'm not joking mate

Boring Beerwolf over and out

boring in what sense?

beerboss seems pretty exciting to me tbh. 

And fuck judgemental people calling anyone else boring. 

How come dogs & cats don’t have belly buttons?
