Someone Q

I like finding a movie/song/tv shows that are good, but apparently quite old by the time I found it, and by old, I mean 5+ years have gone from the actual content being produced to me actually consuming it.

I think one example I really remember is when out of boredom, I decided to watch My Sassy Girl on YouTube. These were the days when YouTube did not really care about copyright enforcement. When you could find a full movie divided into as many parts as it needed as long as each part was less than 10 minutes.

It was 2011, so I watched it, and it was so fucking good, I decided to Google it for further details, and it turns out it was released in 2001, and I was awash by these feeling, a sudden realization that there's a lot of things that can and will happen without me noticing, realizing that a whole life-time went by the time I watched it. 

The film released in 2001, the actors were 25 and 20 years old when it was released, they were 35 and 30 by the time I watched it, they'll be 45 and 40 next year. I was 10 years old when it was released, I watched it in my second year of college - the third year if we're being pedantic, somebody's child would already be in 4 or 5th grade if they were born in 2001.

I guess what I tweeted at that time was something along the line, "where have you been all my life?".

I will be 29 years of age this November, 19th, to be exact, 7 PM, to be very exact.

When my mom was my age, she already has 2 children, me and my sister, she'd have her third by the time she's 34. Next year I'll be 30, the age when my dad married my mom.

My brother that was born in 2002 already 18 this year, oh, the 2002s are legally able to get married.

Hypothetically, I can marry someone who was born in 2002 and it'd be perfectly legal. Ethical? Might not be, but ethics and rule of law are two different things.

If I get married at 23, I'd probably try to choose an elementary school for my child with my wife, or I could be a divorcee, who knows.

Being an adult is hard, even when you have a stable 9to6 job like I do, I'm stressing at the fact that I don't have that much money that if I want to buy a house, I'd probably have to sell my soul to the bank, paying only the interest for the first 3 years. Imagine spending a shitload of money and your main debt is still there.

woooooooooooooow this post got dark quickly, I guess I'm just an inherently pessimist person.

shit's cray

I rarely have gone full-on angry, there's not much point of being outwardly angry, you know, screaming and shits, because most of the time, what I'm angry about is something that is outside of my control.

A shit campaign due to either agency guys haven't gone thru their Google's Academy for Ads training, or they're just too lazy to explain the intricacies of Digital Marketing to their client. The former I can kind of forgive it, it comes from a state of ignorance, the latter is just pure inconsiderate and unprofessional.

But then again, ignorance sometimes does not excuse you from your sin, you're working on digital media, having your certificates up to date is the least you can do.

There are cases of just shit managements, that as opposed to treating every project as a window of unlimited possibility with a chance of failure and learning, with each of us within our scope of expertise, would try to reduce that chance of failure - because things that can fail will fail - basically a collective work to get to your endgame, instead they will treat it as a way to increase as much revenue as possible, without communicating the potential risks and rewards, while putting all the burden to the lowest of the low of the food chain.

But then again in a normal working environment, rarely your credentials are being questioned when you get to a certain position. Sure there are careers where your credentials mean everything to your reputation and whether or not you're considered for the job.

I actually work with someone who doesn't understand the business model.

But to be honest, I don't care, they paid me handsomely, well, I care enough to rant here, but not care enough to actually raise it to the management.

The future's bleak man, if working an office job is like this, then I don't know how I'll survive the next 25 years of working.

It's funny, my best working experiences were when I was paid the least. I mean yeah I get paid like shit, I was overworked, the management sucked balls, but at least the ones that I worked directly with were a blast, every project was a fun prospect, sure sometimes it fails, but every concern I voiced were heard.
