I've been kind of glum recently...feeling the effects of time passing me by. (I swear I'm having a midlife crisis...I'm too young for that!) This'll be the perfect thread for me to vent a little bit.
I miss the days when I could really connect with the media. Some of those 'cult classic' TV shows that were huge when I was a teen, like the whole Buffy the Vampire Slayer craze, or X-Files! I wiki'd some of the actors the other day and I'm horribly depressed that many of them can't find work, or have 'unofficially' retired from acting to persue other things. ):
The good old days of NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, PSX...I started to outgrow them slightly by the Gamecube / PS2 / XBox generation, it seems as if I'm just not the target audience anymore. Whatever happened to the RPG Genre? It feels like such a sell-out. ):
I miss my highschool friends, who have grown quite different from me...most of whom did actually attend McMaster for various things. Back in highschool I could have had any number of discussions with a variety of friends from different backgrounds/opinions, and nowadays I just can't...most of my friends have gone the humanities route, so they validate their arguments using qualitative sources (which I'm not knocking here), but I'm a math guy so straight logic, axioms, rules of inference, that kinda thing, are my idea of a proof. I'm just growing incompatible with many of them, even though we've had some amazing times. ):
I miss a few of my friends who went to teach overseas...in particular, one whom I have not been able to contact. I hope she is in good health. ):
I miss my one friend from Kinesiology, haha. (What a cliquey faculty!) She was (just about) the only other person, besides me, who did not play a Varsity Sport. She's going off to to PT in London, so I won't get to see her very much. And she owes me lunch! xD
I miss having sessions with the Mac Break Club...everyone's on hiatus during the summer, and no one's in Hamilton to practice. ):
On a related note, I miss my brother (who is not literally my brother, but 'best friend' wouldn't do it justice) who is doing his co-op in Oshawa. We never get to just chill out anymore, and he's getting all stressed out and distant. (I gotta kick his ass a little bit haha) ):
I miss my long-time girlfriend, even though I just saw her earlier today. (:
And I miss my father, who passed away in 2004. It was tough to graduate without having him there. ):
