And I tell myself all I need is a little bit. What a nasty mess. Thank God I don't have a housecleaner.

And blues blend into oranges and reds and grays and back again. Oh, who am I kidding?

I have that weird feeling you get sometimes, like something is missing. Like when you leave for a trip and you're so sure you forgot something even though you double checked all the bags.

Then again, I have a nasty tendency to think waaaaay too much.

	Over-thinking is a burden, isn't it? I do it all the time. That feeling's definitely there for me, too. It's an empty space on a dusty coffee table just beyond your field of vision. You know that something's supposed to be there, but you don't know where 'there' is, or what the thing filling that space was, in the first place. What do you suspect your missing piece is?

...I couldn't tell you for sure. I've just been thinking alot lately, about people I miss and some I don't miss quite so much. It's like I feel like a skipped a benchmark somewhere. Like there was something a should have done a while back, and I missed it without realizing it. Didn't realize I'd missed the exit until I was a couple miles down the road, that sort of thing.

I'm probably not making much sense, but ah, well. That's what overthinking does!

You make plenty of sense.
I should miss some people, but the fact is... I really don't. Not as much as I should, at least.
And as far as skipping benchmarks are concerned - I skipped over fifteen years from where I was to now. It's a lot different back home, in 1991. Not much, but technology is definitely something I'm trying to figure out. It's pretty weird. Might not the same page you're on, but that's what I got out of it.

I'm confident I'll get over it, given time. But for now, it's at least a little comforting to see that I'm not the only one wholly muddled by the entire thing.

	I didn't miss any years, but I was out of the world, so to speak, for about eight months. So I can kind of sympathize. I think that's where I feel like something passed me by. No kidding. I think there's quite a few of us around here who are. Well, what's your name, fellow overthinker? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would think that those of us who lost some time between our realities and this one would all feel a bit of a gap in their lives. Teague Brennan, nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Funny thing is, I lost it in my own reality. It feels pretty much the same, though.

I'm Jonas Jane. Initials JJJ, actually, but I prefer Jonas Just Jokes. Sounds better to me than 'Jonas Joseph Jane', and it's alot more fun to say.

It's weird. I don't think much about how big the difference is between the early 90's and now, but I think the internet basically accounts for the hugest difference. It's a beautiful thing.

Mine would be Teague Turner, but luckily my parents decided to hyphenate. It's also lucky for my wife, Brenda. Hers would have been Brenda Annn Brennan. She would have died from the breberenenrnrnen. :D

Music, special effects in movies... art style. It all changed pretty dramatically since then. But then again, I hang out with an odd crowd. The internet, however? That's VERY much a big change. It's like a macroverse in our own reality - The combined consciousness of everyone with access to a computer. It's amazing, and daunting.

	That's actually pretty awesome. I mean, I'm sure it would be miserable for your wife in reality, but it's such a cool name in theory. So many nnns! Didn't think about the movie angle. And me, a cinephile, for shame. Yeah, it's quite cool. Unless you snare up the tubes of the internet by downloading one too many files and fry your computer, of course.

I always liked movies, but I'm more an artist by nature. I was actually working for an art software company before coming here - I take one look at the art software that's around now and truly am surprised. They've made it so easy to mimic the mediums I usually work in. I may wind up getting a tablet and see if I can create a 'painting', so to speak. It'll be interesting to see what I can accomplish.

I've only downloaded music since getting here. I've been VERY surprised how quickly I can find songs I'd long forgotten.

	I'm not much of an artist, or a moviemaker for that matter. The only creative skill I can really claim is mean bass guitar skills. But that's about it. :D I admire it when people can put what's in their head down on paper, drawing it or writing it. Isn't casual illegality a beautiful thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heh, I can't string one note together with another. I just like music, can't create it. So your talent is just as envied. At least by my standards. Oh, it truly is. Why bother paying a dollar for something that nobody is still being paid for, other than the record label? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then we can be jealous of each other. It works perfectly! Yeah! Power to the people! Stick to the man, and stuff! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Especially the and stuff! And hey, jealousy isn't that great. Admiration is what I prefer. ;D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-08 04:29 am UTC (link)
	I need a sign that says "Support and stuff!" Okay, okay. We'll "mutually admire" each other to death, then. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poetbrennan 2008-04-08 04:33 am UTC (link)
	That works! And I want a mug that says that, now. Hey, feel like grabbing a drink sometime? I'm on a short leash these days with the sweetheart about to bust out a kid, but I'm free for a couple drinks with new people at any time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-08 04:35 am UTC (link)
	IT SHALL BE DONE. I don't really drink, to be honest? But I'd happily hang with you and watch you drink. And congratulations about the wife and the baby and everything, that's really cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whoa, cool. I can completely appreciate that. You good for coffee, or are you completely straightedge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
