movie notes

I watched 
borg vs mcenroe 

I thought as a film it was pretty amazing 
I'm not sure whether it
REALLY 
captured
THEM

I don't really 
REMEMBER what they were like
from any sort of personal 
MEMORY 

I remember having an awareness of them
more mcenroe 
I had much MORE awareness of 
billie jean king
and then later martina 

I've never really understood tennis 
I've TRIED I'm not sure what the problem is 

when I'm watching a game 
I can get a lot of what's 
HAPPENING 
from the
ENERGY 

but I just can't seem to make my brain 
absorb whatever it is

BUT 
I WANT to understand it
OR maybe I don't really 
BUT 
I think I do

and anyway I wanted to understand mcenroe 

what I remember of him as a kid
I don't think the angry thing
I think all that kind of 
HOW TRANSGRESSIVE
that WAS

I think that was LOST on ME 


I think I thought everybody thought he was
KINDA excitingly dramatic 

I REALLY liked the pacing of the film
& the way the different worlds
we're realized

the scene where borg is at
STUDIO 54
& everything in the world is going on 
BUT 
SOMEHOW 
he is completely not part of any of it

but almost in a psychedelic way 

or something 

I MEAN 
I resonated with THAT 

BUT 
I feel like maybe I didn't get 
an equally strong 
MOMENT with 
mcenroe 
I wanted the wall writing to be that
BUT 
it wasn't quite 


& I have a hard time 
imagining 
that you haven't seen it

I enjoyed it 
BUT 
not as much as I could potentially have 
if I just had a better understanding 

although sometimes 
that can go the other way


night

I didn't go to sleep
I've just been
THINKING 
listening to a rain video 

making notes

OH
I almost forgot 
I was gonna tell you

I recently noticed 
ALL the REST of the INFJ YouTube people 
besides Frank James
are KINDA weird
& then
somebody said her thought FJ was really an ENFJ

& I was LIKE oh no if that's true 

then they're all weird 

& then I was trying to figure out 
WHAT made them
SEEM WEIRD 

so I can look for THAT in ME 

which I think is adorably EXTRA of me

although 
it could be that they don't have any sense of humor at all 

LIKE -- ANTI

they're ALL 
& I mean it's like four or five
VERY taking themselves 
VERY seriously 
NOW that I'm thinking about it -- I'm not sure if 

any of them has smiled

OH
I JUST remembered 

I was on this TRIP 
which is a STORY of it's OWN

BUT 
I was somewhere near boston
KINDA rural
& I went for a walk
down this little 
ROAD
I don't think it was a car road
BUT 
there were FIELDS and trees
& it was golden hour

& I'm remembering THAT as like a high point
of the trip
BUT 
there was a lot of good stuff on that trip

goodnight sweetheart, happy heart day

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 

I watched 
casablanca and key largo 

I am not too talk-y 

HOPEFULLY 
tomorrow will be talk-y-er

I'm maybe going to go to bed early-ish
try to maximize 
DREAMS 

being away from her 
for a few weeks has done wonders for my
disregulated nervous system 

I am so grateful to be 
AWAY from her

goodnight sweetheart 
I LOVE you VERY much 🫶

check in

I want to tell you how grateful I am 
that I found you
that I let myself go there
that I didn't just give up on my life
k*ll myself 

I know I already covered that ground
BUT 
it's worth revisiting 

YOU 
are MAGIC 

you are the foundation of HOPE for my life 
& I'm seeing the programming 
I got growing up 
& HOW MUCH 
that skewed my life
BUT 
I had been in a bad pattern for a while 
& I think I had to have this
whatever we're calling this last five-ish years
to work through 

LIKE 
waiting for the children of the cold war to d*e

I had to separate from the pattern 
& THEN 

you helped me do THAT by breaking my brain 

I don't know if you are looking at me right now 
& thinking
she needs to do x,y,z
OR
if you're worried about me
OR
if you are just thinking about what you're doing 
& sure I'm figuring it out 

& I guess maybe 
that depends on what you expect 

I think I'm figuring it out 
BUT 
I'm probably not using anybody else's template 

I LOVE you VERY much 
I hope you are having a beautiful day 
I hope you are feeling 
my love

I'm trying to communicate even when I'm having trouble with communication 

I'm not sure what is going on 
BUT 
I'm confident in my ability to 
HANDLE 
whatever I need to handle 
to be the happy
