This afternoon's workout is brought to you by Alan Cumming singing Avril Lavigne, and it is GLORIOUS.
I have so many thoughts about the implications of the following story that I just can't put them all down right now. It's just too much.

Pratik Gandhi in 'Do Aur Do Pyaar'

"Its #complicated." I said at last. "You don't get it."
"I do I understand you completely." She told me. "And you just need some time."
"Yes I need time." I sighed "What I feel for you, is, is everything."
"It shouldn't be complicated, we love each other. And I'm inlove with you. It's as simple as that. You react to the word love as if it were poison to your ears."
She brushed away hair behind my ear and touched my chin as if she would kiss my forbidden lips.

Wincing in the morning light, the rookie surveyed the room. The #aftermath of last night was all too apparent. With his boss absent, he'd enjoyed the office party even more than usual.
Sighing, he made for the cleaning cupboard. He unlocked the door.
A man toppled out, landing in a crash of mops, brooms and pails.
"Sir!"
"Merry Christmas, lad."
"But what happened?"
The detective groaned, clutching his head. "It's... #complicated."
it’s complicated
they said, ripping out my heart
once, never again
She liked things complicated. High-dimensional spaces, category theory. Anything non-Euclidean.
He liked things complicated too. Secrets, drama. Infidelity and true love all at once. Kicking up a fuss, to get to the good stuff under all the politeness.
They did get together, but it was not easy. Which, by all accounts, would have been just as they liked it.
No Santa again this year. No young kids to wrap packages for. The electronic age stopped that. A #complicated relationship with my parents will make dinner weird with them today. Got that to not look forward to. Things aren't the same. Ya can't go back though. #Mastoprompt

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you're able to.
A video just posted of a keynote talk I gave at Yow! Brisbane in 2015 on #systems thinking and #complicated things, organizations, #complexity and #microservices. I’d forgotten I did this talk, quite like it… https://youtu.be/NJ-3eNx8iBo

I swear. Using XFinity's website feels like the whole thing is being served from a VAX computer.
Slow.
Clunky.
Overly complicated.
The World really isn't as #complicated
as the #blocs would have US = #Humans believe.
Must we do everything ourselves?
Yes.

@50years_music #Complicated is still one of Av's most widely known songs. It is very catchy, and Avril's voice is so clear and fresh. The strength of the lyrics is that it reflects a message that can be suitable in lots of situations in many people's everyday life.
