Oh, the sweet, sweet existential dread of contemplating the dark—quite literally. Do you ever wonder about the meaning of life, especially when staring into an abyss that should be black but isn’t? I ponder this regularly, right before my morning coffee and existential crisis.
So, let’s talk dark stuff. Not my future—though, trust me, that’s bleak—but the color black. Or specifically, why can’t those nifty video projectors zap out a nice, comforting swath of total blackness? You know, like my soul.
Here’s the twisted scoop: shooting black out of a projector is like trying to grow an apple tree from blasting Led Zeppelin to a pot of dirt. Cool, but absurd—like my ongoing existence. When you watch those lovely dark scenes at the cinema, remember, you’re basically staring at a streamlined version of nothing. A lot like my love life, huh?
Now, picture a completely dark room. It’s supposed to be utterly void, like my will to live. Yet, lo and behold, your eyes betray you, adapting just enough to make out the unforeseen shapes lurking in the depths—somewhat disappointing, just like when I discovered life’s big secret: there isn’t one.
Ending on a high note here: think of dying alone. It’s said your life flashes before your eyes. So if you’re scared of the dark, just wait until the grand finale. Zero stars, would not recommend.
