I probably would not have posted so much on the covid related threads. I do sort of regret that. I stand by what I said but its so intrinsically political now in a way that cant really be argued.

I suppose you could say that all political threads are like that but with this one it feels a bit different. Not just pointless but really pointless.

Another thing I was thinking was go back in time and undo watching all the greatest movies and songs youve heard and then rewatch and listen to them.

Only thing is sometimes these things are wrapped up with other nostalgic events that you probably wouldnt want to forget. Still theres some albums I would kill to hear again for the first time like Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness

With that though, sometimes I think we have to be in a certain place, a certain time, a certain state of mind to hear an album for the first time. Some of Coil's best songs I heard in the Autumn and it truly adds another level to them.

Oh dont I know it man. I couldnt agree more. I got hooked on a weird Indie chick rock band almost 15 years ago when a good friend of mind popped the cd in my cd player on the way to work. A 40 min drive through the mountains each way. I listened to that album so much it reminds me of desert and mountains and will always be a favorite of mine because of it.

There was a BBC Canada show called "being erica" I watched last year or so. It was built on this sort of premise, main character gets a chance to time travel back and face each of her regrets. Surprisingly solid show.

If I had a do-over, knowing what I know now, I'd change my undergraduate to a more useful degree. But I am where I am. "You do what you do and you pay for your sin/ and there's no such thing as what might of been/ It's a waste of time/ drive you out of your mind"

I'd like to undo something I didn't do. As I've mentioned many times, in the mid seventies I was stationed in Seoul, Korea. Back then Hyundai was a tiny company. They produced a very small car that ran on LP gas called a Hyundai Pony. As far as I know they didn't export anywhere but if they did it certainly wasn't to America. I would love to go back through the Time Tunnel and spend every penny I could beg, steal, or borrow on Hyundai stock. I would be a very rich man today.
