The amount of emotions that the original video and story bring up 25 years later is just crazy to me. This was my first, real, experience with what 20 years later I finally understood: oh... SHE was a narcissist. Literally took until 2022 for me to even understand that as a reconnection lead to one of the craziest emails I've ever received. Like Talya started reading it and said "Has this person met you?" and of course she was my manager, we were extremely close, she knew me for the better part of a decade... just insane how obvious it was to everyone else - my ass just kept thinking communication was allllll that was needed.
 
Story of my FUCKING life.
 
The original entry this song came from is nearly impossible for me to read, because it's a KID in the midst of this gaslighting trying to work through it and 50 year old me is like "DUDE, FUCKING RUN" - I have to imagine it's what it will feel like when we watch our kids make similar mistakes? EVERYONE fucking told me she was a cancer... but she was the only cancer that would fucking talk to me so watchoo gonna do - LOL. Anyway, it makes for a cute song and of course: TIN PAN ALLEY! My favorite genre...
 
 
What I love about the genre is it's just so easy to see it being performed live and how much fucking fun that would be... ya know? This is where this whole project becomes an absolute dream for me: in that video? In my head? There's a band all around me. If you play these songs through some nice speakers? It's fucking unreal. I cannot believe this technology exists, I cannot believe how much it has healed my heart and soul... and in VR180?!?! Oh fucking hell - you're THERE dawg. It's so amazing. I mean... too bad hardly anyone sees it - but SOMEDAY MAN. lol SOMEDAY they will look back and be like: "Wait, this dude was doing this shit in the early 20s?!?".
 
I will be dead. We'll have been homeless... but boy that recognition might be nice to my kids.
 
LMFAO.
