WHERE THERE’S DOPE
THERE’S HOPE!
The living, he thought, should never be used to serve the purposes of the dead. But the dead—he glanced at Bruce, the empty shape beside him—should, if possible, serve the purposes of the living. That, he reasoned, is the law of life. And the dead, if they could feel, might feel better doing so. The dead, Mike thought, who can still see, even if they can’t understand: they are our camera.
“Imagine being sentient but not alive. Seeing and even knowing, but not alive. Just looking out. Recognizing but not being alive. A person can die and still go on. Sometimes what looks out at you from a person’s eyes maybe died back in childhood. What’s dead in there still looks out. It’s not just the body looking at you with nothing in it; there’s still something in there but it died and just keeps on looking and looking; it can’t stop looking.”
He heard nothing now. And forgot the meaning of the words, and, finally, the words themselves. Only, he sensed Mike watching him, watching and listening, hearing nothing; he did not know, he did not recall, he felt little, he felt bad, he wanted to leave. The Vacuum in him grew. And he was actually a little glad.

What he did not know then is that it is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
Reality is that which when you stop believing in it, it doesn’t go away.

wow. this is a really good picture of an obscenely wealthy person wearing stupidly expensive and functionless clothing
hey have i passive aggressively complained about this phenomenon on my website yet
by which i mean: you watch someone’s instagram story, or whatever, and they’re just like freakin recording parts of a movie while sitting in a theater
fifteen-second clips of a movie that has just come out
i sit near the front in a theater so i never have to be behind someone when this godawful madness is unraveling
anyway: what is this
this is completely insane to me
a movie theater is a place where you go to hide from the world for a few hours
you sit in the dark and go someplace else in your head
it is a reprieve, dude, from every miserable minute of your life that you have suffered through and will continue to suffer through after the credits roll
don’t bring THE WORLD into a movie theater
phone out during a god damn movie
what are you doing, y’all
like c’mon
guys c’mon
