#ASKBOXHEAD - Nostalgia

Hi Boxhead,

There are certain scenes, songs, places that fill me with an intense emotion that I can only classify as nostalgia. It is a mix of pleasure, pain, longing, lost, emotional memory wash.

Once the sensation begins I often immerse myself in it fully, i.e. turning the music up or driving closer to a location that has significant memories.

My question is, would I be better off avoiding nostalgia or is there no harm in it?

Pervis

 

Dear Pervy,

One of the great advantages of a life with your head encased in cardboard is that you have no shame.

Absolutely no shame at all.

In my box I can do whatever I want without the worry of what my “peers” think. And when I get that “more than a feeling” I can close my eyes and drift away in a endless revelry, with the smell of wet cardboard up me nose and not a care in the world about what anyone thinks...

You on the other hand are a respectable member of the community and should have no time for such girly nonsense.

Love,

Foxy Boxy

    Might I suggest that the man in the box has misunderstood the question once again? Reading the question carefully I cannot see where the enquirer has any concern about how his "peers" might view these bouts of nostalgia?

    It appears that the enquirer is more concerned with the psychological or perhaps even the physical affects of the experiences?

    I dern't know nothin 'bout this here boxhead dude. Think thar's more than one of 'em, cuz he look a might different than that thar original boxhead.

    Anywhoo, I git somethin ta say 'bout Smith & Wesson. Why dern't some of you occuyp wallstreet hippies go shut that commie whore gun-maker down. Used ta be a fine American gun maker - TILL THEM LIMEY BRIT CASTRATED SACKS-O-TITTY-FAT git hold of it. That carpet-bagger Billy Clinton made them S&W sacks-o-titty-fat queers bend over 'n ram-rod 'em real high 'n tight. Yessiree, now they make cooter-guns with all sorts of "safety" crap on 'em. Make most of 'em of plastic too. What a cry'n shame! Reminds me of city folks that take thar prized pit-terrier to some abortion doctor that rips his testicals off so's city-woman dern't git scared.

    Why dern't you hippies go ta one of them abortion doctors 'n git yer balls sliced off so's ta be more "politically correct"?

    The past is over. The future is yet to come. Seeking the former brings sadness. Awaiting the latter brings idleness.

    I recall the past always. Thinking of her nakedness...

    Then my memory rises and off i go!

    Been thinking about this too... Hearing tunes for sure sets it off; getting lots of Daddy Cool lately. Hi Honey Ho. Then I gets the feeling of that time... early 70s Melbum. Mainly thinking of going to footy and such.
    How does the past exist?
    Is it just memory? Or still acting out in some forgotten theatre?

    More I think it/feel it the more I disbelieve this 'time' parameter.

    Its just static, tiny electric discharges in the synapses, the same phenomenon observed during near-death experiences as the brain starts shutting down. Just static. Lay back. Relax. Enjoy the moment. It will pass soon enough.
