cryptic things are cryptic yo
post will be created with a simple <Atbash Cipher> for words I want to elude the crawl…
I have an obsession hole that needs filled. Ever since the <fhvmvg> war of 2012 and the subsequent collapse of the <MAY> community, namely <maynzgirc>, I’ve been in a bit of a mental funk. Most of you will undoubtedly be scratching your heads and have no idea what I’m talking about but for someone like me this is a big fucking deal. I’ve been able to channel certain aspects of myself into time consuming collections and tasks. This keeps me occupied and focused. For more than a decade I’ve been accumulating a movie archive for my own personal satisfaction. It started long before that, but it was in the last 12 years that I became obsessed with <fhvmvg> and the other side of the world wide web, behind the veil of <gsv lmrlm ilfgvi>. I don’t want to go into a lot of detail here because of reasons that those who know what I’m talking about will understand. In fact, that’s why I’m posting this using the Atbash.
For more than a decade I’ve been <wldmolzwrmt> between 500GB to 1TB of data each month behind a <EKM> using <yrmhvzixs>, <MHYnzgirc>, <HZYmayw> and <zhgizdvy>. That roughly breaks down to 100 - 200 movies per month for my own personal collection. Each one archived into a spreadsheet and tucked away for no reason other than filling a void. More than 20,000 movies sit in spindles, nylon books of all sizes, shelves, amray boxes, slimline cases and plastic sleeves. They are in 30 gallon tupperware containers, Gilden T-shirt boxes and aligned under my bed. Some are displayed (for whatever reason), others are archived while some are backed up off-site because of their rarity or the difficulty in which they were attained made the thought of replacing them seem less daunting if I had a backup.
Was this <roovtzo>? I had rationalized it as not because they were being used for my own sanctity and not for profit. Also because of how they were obtained. The nature of what I was doing fell into a large gray area. <Gsv nlervh dviv wrerwvw rmgl sfmwivwh lu kzigh gsvm krvxvh dviv ivnlevw.

Each week I would get on <erwvlvgz.xln> and see what was being released on Tuesday. I’d add all relevant titles to a queue and start up the mad monster. I was fine as long as the saga continued. Now it has stopped and I’m doing more than freaking out.
I’ve looked into all possible alternatives but have finally decided I need to quit cold turkey. It sounds like a good plan but I’m having a really hard time moving forward.
I know no one is reading at this point and I certainly doubt anyone has taken the time to fuck with the cipher so this is more of a post for me than it is anyone else. Sure I could have made it private but where’s the fun in that?
This actually may be a little bit of a blessing in disguise. The DVD format is about to be defunct anyway. My next project may be to find an Asian distributor of blank Blu-rays and start converting the archive to a format for the coming decade. You can fit 5 4.3GB ISO’s onto a Blu-ray… I’d be able to compress the existing archive to 4,000 discs which would fit into the twenty 200-disc books sitting below my active t-shirt collection…

Tomorrow is the last day to get LOST IN INFINITY for free
I'm currently starring in an off-off-broadway one-man-show reenactment of LEAVING LAS VEGAS...
…starring 4 dozen sugar cookies in the role of the golden hearted prostitute, Sera previously made famous by Elisabeth Shue and a medley of chocolate, caramel and peanut butter taking the place of vodka, whiskey and rum. It’s a family show.
