I understand this is part of being human, and therefore not really sad, but usually I wish I was beyond such things. I offer it as an example of the human creature. Submitted for your approval, in the twilight zone.
A recent discussion, entirely within my own skull, while browsing this web site:
Voice 1 (Creative, Passionate, Carnal): Oh. My...
Voice 2 (Reason): What? That?
Voice 3 (Spiritual, Higher Reasoning): Awwww man… things were so quiet here in the moment. Here he goes again…
Voice 1: Yes. That. The one on the right. Oh my…
Voice 2: You don't need that. You…
Voice 1: I know. I don't care. Geez. That's. So. Cool.
Voice 2: You do not need that. You don't even...
Voice 1: I know. But that's, just, cool. Don't you think?
Voice 2: Well, yes, but, do you have any idea how much that must cost?
Voice 1: Does it matter?
Voice 2: Hah! Uh-yeah… Let's see… Uhhh-yep. As I expected. This is four or five grand. Four or five thousand dollars…
Voice 3 Good Lord!! You shouldn't even be thinking about this. You should be way beyond…
Voice 1+2: We know.
Voice 3: It's humanly criminal for you to think about that. You don't even…
Voice 1+2: WE KNOW!
Voice 2: But yes, one. Three's right. And look… Seriously... Come on. You don't even play.
Voice 1: I know. (That hurts, by the way) But that's… that's not the point. If I did play, I'd play that. This. Just like David Gilm…
Voice 3: This is sad. Just, really, really sad.
Voice 2: I know. Very.
Voice 3: Is this humbling you, two? It should be. I mean, one's completely out of the question, but you...
Voice 2: I know. Yes. Yes it is. Well, I hope it is…
Voice 1: I am going to learn. I want to. I really do. And I am. Soon. I'm not getting any younger, you know.
Voice 2: Aw geez. Blah, blah, blah. Why are you always in a hurry? Why do you have to do things now, instead of…
Voice 1: I see. I desire. I feel. I imagine. I create. It's what I do. You know this.
Voice 2: Yes. (sigh) Yes, yes I do. Fine. I can give and take. So do it, but do it later, after…
Voice 1: Helloooo! There may not be a laterrrr…
Voice 3: Well, that's true. There really is no later; there is only an eternal now, and…
Voice 2: Stow it, three.
Helloooo yourself, two: if there isn't a later, do you really want to spend now on this trivial crap, instead of, oh, I don't know… Your family? Writing?
Voice 1: Well I…
Voice 2: Has it ever occurred to you that maybe later is the proper time for frivolity?
Voice 3: (Excellent point, two. Excellent, excellent point.)
Voice 1: Well I… But I…
Voice 2: And for Pete's sake: did you even notice that this thing doesn't come in a lefty?
Voice 1: Huh? It… what? Oh. (Damn!) Right. Of course it doesn't.
Voice 3: I think I see an easy resolution to the moment coming…
Voice 2: Um-hmmm… me too...
Voice 1: That's… that's good, I guess. That's a good thing. Yes. That's… that solves a lot…
Voice 2+3: Yes. Yes it does…
Voice 1: Well, sure, and better, I mean, I can be sensible. I can give and take. We'll just get an American Standard lefty for a quarter of that, you know, replace the pick guard, change the electronics…
Voice 2: Oh gawd… We're losing him…
Voice 3: (Charging…) CLEAR!!
