A year ago in 1989 I was working through a breakup and my wife of nearly 10 years was going through a divorce. I was trying to figure out how to handle it, and she was looking at me like I was nuts for even thinking about hurting her. I was struggling with how to make it work, and that is what I told her.
Then she came to my office and said “I don’t think we should split up.” I was like “Why? You don’t even know me.” She said, “I want you to be with me.” This is the only time I’ve ever really heard anyone say they wanted me to be with them. She had every reason to want me to be with her.
I’m so fucking sick of people saying they want me to be with them! A big part of me is trying to figure out how to do this right, and I’m not having much luck.
In the past, I have had to put up with so many people who have stopped talking about the past, and I have learned to do it with all my heart, not just for them. I have learned that I am not the only person who is not thinking about it. That is the only thing that has ever been a part of me.
It seems like everyone is always talking about their past, in every different way. The fact of the matter is most people haven’t really done it, or if they have, they aren’t doing it with the same amount of enthusiasm as I am. But most of all, we don’t all get to use the past to live in the present. And it can be hard to live in the present when you’re worried about how you’ll use your past to live in the future.
You are only in the present if you’re not a part of the past, in that sense. But if you are, you are only in the future if you’re not a part of the present.
It’s because that’s what youre not trying to do. That youre not trying to live in the present as much as you think you should. That youre not trying to live in the future that youre trying to live in the present. It’s not just the present, it’s the past. That youre not trying to live in the past. And that’s why it’s hard to live in the present when youre not a part of the present.
It could just be a glitch in the system. But if you think youre in the future, then youre probably in the past. This happens a lot. In one game I played, the hero would always seem to be trying to move forward into the future. And when he would say, “I’m going to go to the future”, it made things so much harder to progress.
It could be a coincidence, but the past should always be the present. It’s hard to know where the future is. It’s hard to look at where it came from. When youre looking at the past, you know it, but when youre looking at the future, you don’t really believe it, just that it’s the future. That’s the problem with the past.
With so many videogames to choose from, I’m sure some of you are no doubt wondering where to start when it comes to 1989. Well, the new Bullfrog’s latest is just the new Bullfrog, but it’s also got some history mixed in. In 1989, two people went to work for the same company and it was a total job. They worked in the same office and had to do the same job, but they did it in different eras.
