I basically ask this as a chance to expostulate my own thoughts, but it would still be interesting to see how others respond, and could be useful perhaps in a general sense.
So i'm like retired, and i got nothing but time on my hands, but time is slipping away. This is an important factor.
I have 3 loves, film, books and music, film is what i've chosen to focus on for at least 2 years, 2024 and 2025.
I see watching films and shows as a dream job, only i usually pay for it, because i love it so much. A regular job is 8 hours a day, so what i gotta do is average at least that per day.
I go by wake periods, i keep on going till i get so tired, and achey all over from sitting so much, so a good day i'm awake for 20 or more hours.
The challenge is to make more of those 20 or so hours into actual watching time, i need to perfect this art, and put up with a little ache here and there.
This turned out not to be a philosophy so to speak, using academic mumbo jumbo, don't like that kind of philosophy anyways.
On Letterboxd i started all over a few months back and only really got back to watching mid December last, so i've been saving myself a lotta goodies, not enough time for anything in this world when you love it enough, mom died last year, and i dread my pops passing away too, but he's hyper religious, and is of the opinion that me and him will be alive during the rapture, can you believe that hogwash??!! So not only do i watch shows and films because i love them, i do it to escape from certain insanity, whilst keeping him company in the living room, which is a no smoking area, which then also cuts down on my nasty habit.
But enough about me, what's your story?
