The summer of years ago nostalgia was a brutal feelspill. It will never be summer again. I'll never be young. I was listening to that Blink 182 song which they made when they were over the hill and broke up after a lifetime of fun... the oldest of them was 27 or something. I'm 29. That sums things up.

One of my non-blogposting troll posts was posted on /r/4chan lol. The topic currently has few replies. That's probably for the best. If r*edit liked it too much then it's probably stale and weak shit.

Today was strange in that I was reading next to a sunny window in the early afternoon and it felt kind of idyllic. Then I went for a long walk, where it felt mundane. Then in the evening just before the sun started to go away it felt nostalgic.

I liked the rddt speak at the start linking in with the r/4chan at the end, good stuff, whether intentional or not.
Have you listened to Negative XP? I think you would like him. Goodbye and Sophomore are his best albums.

I'll say, your collected posts have more literary value stored up in them on the subject of memory and nostalgia than Ishiguro's entire output, and you should know given that you live in the same country.

Perhaps nostalgia is so powerful because it reminds us of a time when we were prime movers in our own history and it attacks us so powerfully when we are at our most listless. I go outside to read because I feel this aimlessness too, but it always comes back.
