a regrettable waste of energy

i feel like a broken record writing this again and again
communication that exclusively relies on written words can never be complete.
if we're missing out on hearing, sensing, seeing the other, we are ignoring essential elements of mutual understanding.
how do you mark a joke, sarcasm, irony, criticism, reproach if not with tones of your voice, mimic, gesture. how can i make you feel all the love in my heart when im locked out. when i won't be heard out.

failed communication is such a regrettable waste of energy when what you write goes misunderstood, misinterpreted, mistaken. even the knowledge that its you im writing to cannot prevent that.
do you know what i mean.

My friend Fran is so down-trodden from the ripple effects of the recession ... she needs to see that survival is all in the attitude ... what she needs is a good dose of refreshionism!

refreshed

Refreshed - Slightly intoxicated, happy, chatty, feeling merry, glazed.

Over-refreshed - smashed, blind, extremely inebriated, pissed, tied one on, wasted

Refreshed - After a few glasses of champagne I would say "Oh, I think I'm slightly refreshed".

Over-refreshed - "I woke up in the wrong postcode this morning, I must have been so over-refreshed".

Refresco

A large mason jar full of ice, whiskey, and one can of fresca. It is an extremely refreshing beverage and plays off the Spanish word refresco which means a soda/refreshment

Hey man, I think that's your third refresco.

refreshing level

A level from Super Mario Maker 2 where it's easy as fuck and to be honest, takes about an hour to make. They're so uninspired, usually adding a bunch of sound effects. The fact that they get a lot of recognition gives me bad hopes for the future of the game.

Oh look, a refreshing level, can't wait to play it.

Recommendation Regret

The feeling of showing a video to a friend and realizing early on that they're not enjoying it at all, but you feel too awkward to turn it off so you both sit there trapped until the video ends.

Cameron was showing JT this awesome video but JT didn't like it all, Cameron had total recommendation regret.

Vaccine Regret

Among the many human actions that cannot be un-done resulting in horrific, but not entirely unexpected consequences.

Shoulda worn a condom
Shoulda worn a seat belt
Shoulda known 'cauze her mother was fat
Shoulda bought Apple, Tesla, Bitcoin, Ether
Shoulda gotten a COVID vaccine
Shoulda known better, Mr Vaccine Regret
