Music Social More…

I'm not sure if I'm able to enjoy an experience 'live' anymore

inside-outside [Edit] [Delete] 11:05, 18 December '15

These days I find myself always wanting for things to be over so I can just enjoy the memory instead

I went to a gig last month and the whole time I wanted to be home already, so I could look back and think about what a good time I just had. The idea of the memory of the experience I was having was already more preferable to actually having the experience itself.

Same goes for many social events too. Had an xmas dinner last weekend at some mates house and the whole time I was waiting for the shit to be over so I could go home and think oh wasn't it nice seeing people at xmas, isn't it all just lovely. I got home and did just that - basked in the warmth of social interaction, glorifying the afternoon I had just spent, while simultaneously enjoying the fact that now it was done it didnt need to happen again for a while, since now we all have this new memory to live off.

I have a theory about this new star wars too, it seems adult-babies worldwide are clamouring to see it as early as possible so that they can get the unpleasant experience of actually having to watch the film out of the way and get to the sweet, sweet memory of seeing it instead. Mmmm lovely memories. Remember 1977? Remember the good old days?

I already can't wait to remember Euro 2016 next year.
