Hahaha you guys are hilarious. Annnd this e-mail made me feel kinda sick. I agree with you on most counts, except for “crayon.” “Crayon” doesn’t bother me. However, I HATE when people refer to a “lollipop” as a “lolly.” Ughh.
“And therein lies the whole of man’s plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.”

—Milan Kundera, in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, via Bunnynico, who added some interesting commentary.
One notable resonance to this thought comes from Kierkegaard’s description of how “rotation” and “repetition” are the strategies used by the smartest of the superficial, how we return to hobbies, abandon them, call exes, go back to visited cities, travel away from youth, regress to youth, etc. We devise ways to rotate and repeat our pleasures so we don’t wear them out.
Hence the various “life crises” one reads about: forever the “longing for repetition” in a universe where it isn’t truly possible. I often think the cruelest aspect of the world is the diminishment of all experience -love, drugs, pain, happiness- with repetition.

I sense a pattern. Come on, let’s take bets - will the next city they tell us to move to be Cincinnati, Chicago (nah, too expensive), Chattanooga, or Cleveland?
$10 says this “New Hipster Trend Is To Move Out Of New York” article fad is completely funded and planted by NYU so they can pluck up our vacant apartments for freshman dorms.
You heard that here first.
Oh my. My mom moved out of Buffalo 40 long years ago. And I don’t think she’s looking back. Most of my relatives live there and while I enjoy visiting them, I’m pretty sure I would never move to Buffalo, even if I needed to save some money.
