  • I came to Earth to prove it. And I think... so did you!
    The recording quality in this one is down thanks to
    • my phone placing itself into AMR format without me noticing it.
    • Boo Samsung
      • and its overprotective ways.
    That said, our corporate overlords at Samsung made the lone-voiced recording in my bedroom still listenable - even if barely.
    • And by barely I mean any of you audio nerds can just take a pass here.
      • I do not want/need to know what improvement potential my current audio efforts afford me.
        • They are plentiful to be certain.

  • In this case, I actually have some idea what I'm talking about.
    In this recording you will be subjected to 2 or maybe 3 post-correction add-ons (I really can't remember) and at least one preamble. If I needed that much "after thought" just to feel okay posting this recording - could it really be worth your time to dig in? If I don't want to review what's in here... why on Earth 867.5309 should you? You shouldn't.
    1. Good answer.
    2. Glad to see progress being made somewhere in this universe.
    3. Carry on.

  • No more pauses. This is where it stops.

    I may not know how to contrive an opening - at least not how to do so successfully. But concluding on a contrived moment of realization? Um... I believe that might be the entire point of what my simulation is testing... When is it, in a conversation I'm having with myself and only myself - in this diatribe of irrelevancy when do I reflex and pull a George Costanza?

    • Decide now's as good a time as any to cut the gig and leave myself, and the universe generally, on a high note?
    • Or could this entire exchange be a test designed to measure something about you?
      • Specifically, how and when do you decide to leave a mediocre listening experience to go start something in your own life on a high note?
      • I mean maybe that's what we're all simulating... it could be right?

    RIGHT?

    Right..

  • Now, how are men gonna save themselves? That's a real question to ask... I guess.

    It is fair to claim:

    1. that this dysfunctional society is exactly what we deserve.
    2. It is also fair to claim
      1. that this society, dysfunctional though it may be...
      1. is really nobody's fault.
      2. We have let it become what it is
        1. collectively - all of us.
        2. We're all at fault here.

    Realizing this is who/what we've become:

    1. it's time to address our contributions to the current situation
    2. while discussing wtf we're going to do about it
    3. to make things improve for all of us.

    AND THEN, doing something about it!

  • I like learning things about myself. I just do.
    So... ... what do you know ... finally ...it has happened.After all this time. It is now, today, that I offer something of value in one of these recordings.
    • Unfortunately ...
      • that value has a potential audience of only one...
        • and that one be whom?
          • Well - that one be me myself and moi.
        • Duh.
        • Double duh.
          • Double down duh.
        • So how can anyone else get anything out of this interaction?
          • Hmm...?
    That is a tough one to answer.
    • Or is it?
    • ???

  • ...and some of this... isn't actually my fault.
    It's sometimes difficult to remember that I'm so so so so sosososo much the same as you. Even you dudes. I mean...
    1. I get that there can be difficulties for me, a male, when relating to females
    2. given the lives they signed up for
    3. compared to my male meat suit roles and responsibilities...
      1. But even the rest of you guys
        1. out there...
        2. sometimes I wonder ...
        3. about the rest of you
          1. ...??

  • One night at a time, I am going to change this world. I promise you.
    This recording is so out of place (and yes that's very much hard to do for me) that I recorded a preamble to help any potential listener interpret the 41+ minutes that follow.
    1. I talk about my cat exclusively for at least 10 minutes
    2. and that isn't even the part where I cry uncontrollably...
    3. SERIOUSLY.
    4. That part comes later when I get frustrated about the society I was shown as a kid...
      1. versus the one I ended up in.
      2. But what else is new?
      3. This world's worse than you thought it would be?
      4. Take a number.
    At least you're not alone.octopical

  • If this feels forced well guess what?

    Third time is definitely not a charm. Mostly because there's way too much ex-girlfriend talk in this one. I don't know what overcame me to go this way but I've done did it so...

    I honestly might be losing my mind in real time here.

    1. At a minimumn my dignity.

    As if ...

    ...

    1. amirite ...
    2. ?

  • Or, are the limitations on your human experience self-imposed?

    Hmm. Okay. This one is a tale of two parts mashed together to make a single disjointed recording that may cause motion sickness if not properly hypnotized by a back-alley magician with the humanity to ensure no animals are used in their performances.

    • In fact that should be a prerequisite to board this ride.

    Feel like seeing a magic trick?

    • If so go to YouTube and watch one.

    If not... well abracadabra don't make me reach out and grab ya!
