interstellar and "on blogging"

hello internet

I'm tim erickson

it's been a while. awhile.

and today I saw this movie "interstellar" and what do you know, Christopher Nolan does it again.



It was really great you should go see it. No like seriously, top 10 easily. I never even see movies in the theatres but that one, it was way worth it.

Another crazy thing is that Frozen, yeah, it came out almost EXACTLY A YEAR AGO

if that doesn't stop you in your tracks and have you like "what?" Then, well I guess that's nice.

I'm really not sure where this post is going, and I guess that's why I haven't written in a such a while. See, when I want to make a blog post, I get to it and I'm like "wow I have like nothing to say."

And then when I have something to say, I'm like nahhhhhhhh.

So here's an attempt at trying to not be like "nahhhhhhhh"

I think the digital blogging thing is kinda weird. For example, I read some blogs and they always seem to run like this: "6 WAYS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE TODAY" and then list some simple good things or they are just blogs by my friends and they post random stuff that is heartfelt or somehow i find heartfelt and im like wow that's great and I love every single blog post.

I want to run the 2nd sort of blog.

But I guess that's not the underlying motivation, really. The fundamental motivation is to make art, and to share a piece of my subconscious, my conscious, and my world.

It's so I can speak my truth. Wow that sounds all fancy my bad.

There's a lot of elephants. 

Ah, so something I've been thinking about. I feel like there's 3, maybe 4 things that we do with our time. There's the things we do/would do if we were like "I'm going to live this day as if it were my last", there's the ones where we prepare for the future and act like we're looking back at 60 thinking "what would I have done" so that I'm rich or educated or whatever, then there's the chasing of ephermeal impulses- "I'm going to sit on facebook for 3 hrs now" and then there's the last sort which I haven't really considered that much and that's the sort where you're sitting in a meeting that's a complete waste of time and you're like "this. this right here. this is completely worthless." 

ok. 

So. 

you don't have to remember any of that. just basically that I want to live my life more fully in the "moment yolo style" and also more fully in the "plan for my future yea" 

and I think that's something valuable we could all go for. 

I think I'll cut that. 

No really. Go see interstellar. I feel sorta bad that this is like a running advert for some movie but like actually, it's real good.

Also. Yo, you got this. You're on BA human being, yes you. Go grab life. Right now. Do something radical.

And now that I'm signing off, and I've restated like my desire to go live more and also that I hope you, whoever you internet reader is, whomever you are- that you go and be awesome. Well anyhow, after all that, and all grammar aside, I remembered this really interesting video clip a seriously epic human being shared that you should probably see:

our time is limited. that's all. let's party. life's rad.
