Dateline 7-14-2016

Sometimes I feel that I’ve Synecdoche New Yorked myself into a real interesting situation. At least that’s how I think I’m going to look at it from here on out. As I sit hear watching a guy on the YouTube curse like a monkey fucker as he battles with old Nintendo games, I can’t help but notice that he explodes into foul mouthed diatribes the same exact way that I do when I’m frustrated with technology, not just the energy but the same exact words spewed in a way that sounds like he might have Tourette’s.  

He feels like a character of me that I would write in one of my screenplays as a way to express my hidden anger in a comedic way. At one point my computer froze up at the same point he got stuck in a game leading to an impromptu synchronized swearing routine that would win gold in the Cursing Olympics. It was so on point that I couldn’t help but explore the idea that we actually do create our own reality in a more literal way than just perception and perspective forming your own personal narrative.

What if this guy actually is me, living out the life I would’ve had if I would’ve stuck with my childhood love of Nintendo and grew up to be a gamer with a similar sense of humor, the already mentioned rage and a desire to entertain on his own term. This is totally something that I would do if I only had an interest in being an onscreen entertainer.

It’s not just this video game guy. I see connections like this all the time. Whether it’s a podcaster I really relate to and could see myself running the same exact show, or a multimillionaire investing in innovative technology for the purpose of advancement over profit (at least that’s how I’d like to see it in my head), I want to believe that there is more to these links than just fodder for fictional tales.

This is basically the old concept that we all are one with a touch of the Simulated Universe Theory tied together and this advancement in technology where we now get to see what everyone is up to at any time is building up to the reveal in the story that this is all just a game where the we that is me is approaching the denouement.

Again, this is my storytelling mind laying out a scenario that I’d like to believe mix with marijuana and not what I really think are the rules of reality because I think the true meaning of life is much more mundane but I’ll save you the nihilistic ramblings of my true beliefs because I need to get to back to work leveling up my meaningless life.

Oh well, this is just something I started to write last night and woke up feeling it was interesting enough to finish off and share. Hopefully, I can come up with another fun thought to explore later tonight as I wind down my day.

Talk to you tomorrow,
