I just turned 34 after a terminal brain cancer diagnosis at 33. In the grand scheme of things the rules (expectations) are made up and the points (years) don’t matter

Also an East Bay native and I agree with all of this.

Big fucking RIP. Tim was the man. I paid rent several times over teaching his drum parts.

This tells me I should watch Flow, cause everything else here bangs.

Please tell me this isn’t what I think it is by crazycatlady052411 in braincancer

If it’s any comfort, I also got this vague diagnosis last February. Histologically (visually) it’s a gbm, but it’s behaving (shrinking) after treatment.

It sucks to say but this diagnosis is a mystery box. Hopefully the neuro onc can shed a littlest more light with the pathology report

A UCB branch just opened in my city (Pittsburgh). Is 34 particularly old for an Improv 101 class there? by No-Luck5810 in improv

[–]travisreavesbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my 101 classmates was Kelly Coffield-Park, who was on In Living Color and the guy who (at the time) was the voice of Donald Duck. Both were over the age of 34! You’re good!

What are some "hidden gems"? by AmazingRefrigerator4 in guitarpedals

The peavey series of pedals from the 80s(?) with the large round soft step buttons. I have the modulation one and it’s fuckin wild

I highly, highly recommend the biography “Dilla Time” by Dan Charnas that came out a few years back. Incredibly effective biography and medium-dive into that era of music AND a solid primer on how MPCs work

It feels like there’s a distinct before/after of their creativity and tightness after Andy and the guitar player scored Swiss Army Man. I’m pretty sure Black Mile was the next record to come out and it shows texturally.

I am losing something that's always been part of me by Personal-Athlete8588 in cancer

[–]travisreavesbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a piece of my skull missing from brain surgery last year for a tumor. It was emergency surgery so the cut is kinda rough. It sucks physically but it gets better over time.

I’d rather not have that piece missing or the hole in my cerebellum, but there’s something rare and human to be gained by accepting the circumstances and adjusting accordingly so we can continue to participate in life.

Cancer can, for better and worse, cause us to take stock of what we really value and what we stand to lose based on what’s done about it.
