Thoughts, links, and project updates
A public stream of ideas, discoveries, and things I am building.
I just watched a really neat show titled “The Dark Side of the 90s” I watched an episode about the Viper Room and River Phoenix…and learned some stuff i didn’t know about…. I looked up.the title of the series on Google and saw where it is a series on Vice TV… there are several episodes available.
Since it came up as a suggestion on Youtube…. I probably would never have looked into it any further if the title on Youtube didn’t say Part 2….. Because of that I went looking for Part 1…
Surprisingly, quite a few of the episodes are still on YouTube.. But you can watch them on the vice TV website as well.. On demand.. But you have to have the channel on your cable package.. Which in my case is Xfinity.. Apparently, I do not have that channel available. I am not clear yet on how much it would cost to get it. Vice TV does not offer the option to buy it separately outside of your cable provider unfortunately.
If you have Amazon Prime, you can buy season 1 for less than $22 if you choose high definition or aprox $16 for standard definition. Amazon Prime also gives you the option to buy each episode at $2.99… But several of them are still available on YouTube to watch for free…. I’m not sure how long thar will last.
I’ve added this docu-series to my watch list. I’m looking forward to getting through all of them and learning a bunch of stuff I did not know.
I heard this song “What Is Love” yesterday and a wave of nostalgia washed over me. It came out in 1993… I was so lonely and isolated in the 1990s. I spent a lot of time daydreaming of having friends and socializing, but of course I had no friends and I never socialized. It wasnt until I met my first love that the cycle of loneliness was broken, but it was short lived…. It did reappear briefly decades later.. only to disappear again and never return. Such is life I suppose, right?

I found out that Marshall has a database online of all their student newspapers, the Parthenon. So guess what I’ve been doing?
I just watched “5 Things From the 1970s That Made Us Sleep Better (And Why We Lost Them)” on YouTube. They talked a lot about how things just shut down in the evening… There were blue laws on the books where stores weren’t open on Sunday and had to close at a certain time in the evening…
I lived in Germany growing up, and it is still like that to this day, they take their days of rest very seriously. I also lived downtown for several years in my hometown of Huntington, WV and the city was always quiet during the evening… There was a rhythm to it, a defined start time and a defined end time, something which I am drawn to.
