Maybe "escape" isn't the right word (or maybe it's too right?). maybe it's tolerate... and yeah, I mean the "feeling" of loneliness if we want to get technical about it... Do you have hobbies/talents besides movies? how do you cope?  (looking for a proper image I realized I could've gone with Joker and Beau too... there's a reason he is the actor of our era; he nails "the loner in us" type of roles) |

If it wasn't for music I'd shoot myself in the face......I listen to a new album daily minimum - something I don't know - it can be old but usually it's a new release......while working (um)....other than that........physical activity - exercise, weights, I'll go for a walk or bike ride ......instead of my car ....... .......I also work a lot of hours - like literally, slave hours - but my work is essentially very easy - it's just trouble shooting, "being available", "problem solving" and a well trained chimp could do it - once you get it down (I'm leaving it in a few weeks btw, and doing my side gig.....I worry  )......so there's always someone to talk to even if its just social chatting......it's hard to get lonely within that gig.......its not like I'm working in an isolated way......  |

I jerk off, quite honestly.

I jerk off, quite honestly. Exactly what I was gonna say. The brief relief of the dopamine hit is nice. It doesn't help with any underlying problems, but it works for a moment to make me stop feeling like complete shit. Probably not the healthiest way to cope, but it is the easiest. |

It's weird that jerking off was my first though too, and I don't even do it that much.

I've been meaning to ask you this btw; for all of your passion towards music (or film), have you ever (in all of your decades ) wanted to create/play music yourself or in anyway get into doing arts or entertainment industry (nah, the latter doesn't seem to be your thing)? or you've always looked at the arts as "supporters" of life and not something you want to dedicate a living to? besides (I assume) thinking that they may not make that much money, or something else... And good luck on your new thing buddy  hope it works best. |

I jerk off, quite honestly. Most of us do; but I believe it turns into a... problem, if that's all the solutions we've got. |

And good luck on your new thing buddy hope it works best. That one ^ - and also I don't have an aptitude or the patience for actually creating original Art myself - which is why tastybeverage11 is a fucking hero btw - and some others too - jakob and Ugolin - what's up Ugolin buddy? How ya been - why so shy? I see you! ........ people who share their Art with us or work hard to give something creative to the world.........I have earned a lot more money in my life from other people paying me to be critic than I would make by trying to "sell" my devastating, soul-bearing, and ........oddly punctuated......... poetry collection "Love Takes A Whole Box of Crayons - Ask Me About My Lobotomy" Of course I am not saying that because I have earned money as a critic that makes my opinions on the Arts matter any more than any of the other very fine people on MAR ........well, no.........in some ways I actually guess I am saying that exactly while pretending not to ............ wait...............what was my point again?  |

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. It's only that.
