It's more like a list...
Watching Colin Quinn right now.
It's...not your typical comedy special. I remember when he was on SNL back in the day and I didn't find him all that funny at the time. This particular show though is interesting as he's talking about history and how it relates to us now.
It's clear he's thought about what he's talking about, which I appreciate.
I wanted to write about an idea that the last few hours I've loosely been thinking of as social rip tides.
Also...crud. What was it?
I wanted to write about interacting with customer service and hating having to do it by phone. The snack thing (I know, I know) and...something else...that's been lingering on the back of my mind sort of? I had close enough to grab it less than an hour ago.
That frustrates me.
I think it was dating-related and may have also been related to the idea of social rip tides which plays in to things like cookie-cutter people. A friend of mine reminded me of the old AIM profile I had for the longest time that talked about how I disliked cookie-cutter people, those who fit the role of a stereotypical (fill in the blank).
Colin said something earlier, in retrospect, about leaders that made me think of leaders as bullies. I may have more to say about that. (Probably not that much.)
On the way home I was thinking something about hating what I do for work, well no, not exactly. More like it would be a kind of torment to have to do it eternally. That was a brief thought compared to musing about how it should provide a unique perspective about people and personalities, how people work. Yet...I feel blind, like in truth I've learned nothing about people despite being able to, in a sense, watch them.
Rapture!
Not The Rapture, it was in the first eight pages I read in The Power of Myth where Joseph Campbell commented about that we should find our own personal rapture. That people who do a just because it pays the bills but don't find any personal satisfaction aren't pursuing their own personal rapture.
It was something that really resounded with me.
That was the missing topic.
I feel like that's only the tip of the iceburg.
My friend made an interesting point, about dating profiles being...pretty boring, overall. I had to agree, and that led me to think about the cookie-cutter people, profiles, and then from there it took me to social rip tides. I like the term, we'll see how well it works out.
