Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost
No, it's not an Iggy Pop retrospective, but instead a double length dose of lovehate goodness in respectful consideration of a number that is transitory and a need to get out of a mood and into a tall glass of thankfulness.
After the dreary despair I spewed forth in 395, I decided it was up to me to provide some counterbalance to an outlook that is so often bleak. Leave it to Mr. Hathaway to help me out.
A self-indulgent ramble about things I can't talk about and details not to be mentioned, but with a framework reworked from perspectives aplenty to hopefully refine some semblance of sanity.
Don't know what prompted the mood, but stars were in misalignment when I recorded this.
Archive.org is such a cool site for so many reasons. If you haven't explored it, you should check it out for audio, video, books, and any old website you might have thought was lost ten years ago.
I only used the Youtube link above because the embed from Archive.org was too high quality to stream efficiently. Check out the original site with the Prelinger Archives of How To Be A Teen in The 1950s.
The film above is supremely useless in that it raises a ton of questions for teenagers in the 1950s, yet gives little to no practical advice. Instead, the unending curves that are thrown at the morality and practicality of this impending relationships are probably meant to intimidate more than inspire. 58 years later... the language has changed, the settings have changed, yet many aspects of the archetype are timeless.
