[00:00:01] So, yeah, when I have a thought, I gotta let it out It's a bright spot that I can't even doubt my opinions, my point of view Even if things are a little tripped and sweet so, yeah, even if you disagree so, yeah, even if I'm not in your pedagree so, yeah, especially if you agree so, so, so, so, yeah.
[00:00:39] Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever and whenever you're listening to it. Welcome to the SO Podcast with your queen, Carolina Diamond.
[00:00:56] I have had this thought for an incredibly long time, and I really stand.
[00:01:03] I really believe that as a human being, we all live and then we do all die. Everybody will die. And I think in general, people really fear death.
[00:01:16] I don't necessarily fear death.
[00:01:19] I feel like if I. If I die tomorrow, I have lived a beautiful life thus far. Is there more life to live? Of course.
[00:01:29] But does that mean that I'm, like, upset with the life I have lived? No, I have not. Like, I feel. I feel, like, happy with what I've done.
[00:01:36] I have accomplished dreams, I've had heartbreak, but I think that's a real life. So anyway, when I say this to people, they're like, oh, my God. I personally, I don't believe in living forever.
[00:01:51] People are like, I want to live, so I'm a hundred. Why you want to live? I am 31. That means I'm living 69 more years.
[00:02:07] I'm a, like, a third through my life.
[00:02:11] I'm going to have to figure out what to eat for 69 more years, three times a day.
[00:02:17] That in itself sends me into orbit. Me paying rent for 69 more years? No, thank you. Okay. And I don't believe in, like, I want to live so long. I want to see so much life. Here's the thing. I don't necessarily want kids, so I'm not, like, sticking around to see my grandkids. So I feel like I have less pressure there.
[00:02:41] I. Believe me, Caroline, my opinion, remember that I believe in living a full, not long life.
[00:02:53] I want to die on my 75th birthday. Oh, my God, Caroline, that's so young. 75. That's actually really young again.
[00:03:03] I want to die feeling good, feeling great at, like, at a certain top of the game, you know what I mean? I want to have my mind, my body, and my spirit still intact by my dying day. I can't. I'm not crossing the finish line, like, croaking, like, on my fingertips, dragging myself forward to that finish line. I'm not gonna do it. I don't want to do it. Okay. And that's my life. That's my prerogative. If you don't agree, you don't have to die like that.
[00:03:36] Also, we don't get a choice, so joke's on all of us. Anyway. I always say that I want to. I want to die on my 75th birthday. The clause is, if I start to lose my mind and my body, I'm going to Europe and I'm getting euthanized.
[00:03:54] No blood, no guts, no nothing. Just go gentle into that good night. Just let me just let it all end and seen.
[00:04:06] That's how I want to go out again. We can't choose how we're gonna die. But if I'm in pain, take me out to the ball game and kill me, I'm done. I'm done. Not necessarily in the same world, but I guess it kind of is, you know, when the question of, like, oh, the zombie apocalypse. Are you gonna live through the zombie apocalypse?
[00:04:32] No.
[00:04:34] What, are you kidding me? Living in fear on the run, baby. These boobs, they can't handle living on the run. My back can't handle living on the run. I will probably do a little good fight, maybe for, like, a week or, like, go to the countryside away and then let them eat me later. But, like, no, I'm gonna be cooped up in my house. I'm gonna have a steak dinner. I'm gonna have a baked potato, and I'm just gonna let it happen to me. Okay? I'm not running. I'm also not saving people on the run.
[00:05:15] I. I just can't do it. I'm not the underground railroad. I can't do it. Like, I don't have that strength. I don't have that ability to be so anxious and live in a dystopian world.
[00:05:30] No, I love my creature comforts. Thank you. I need to be able to, like, figure out where I'm going.
[00:05:35] I need air conditioning. The minute that air conditioning stops, Caroline out.
[00:05:43] Exactly.
[00:05:52] This part of the podcast is called Currently, and it's everything that I am currently reading, watching, and listening to. Again, I have not read anything because I've been a writing slob.
[00:06:02] Sensitive topic. We're moving on.
[00:06:05] As for what I'm listening to, I have not really been a John Summit super fan. Like, there's been songs that, like, I like, but I wouldn't say that. Like, I like. Listen to his discography. And I don't know if I'm, like, that white to, like, really love him, because I know he's for the white men, and he Came out with an album not long ago and I'm kind of living for it.
[00:06:31] I really am. The. Oh, the single that came out was where do we go when the lights go out.
[00:06:39] Living for that song. Living for that song. And there's also this one song which I believe is one of the singles and it's been my vocal stuff him for weeks now. You say that I'm only on the time. I say only all the time. I sing only all the time.
[00:06:57] Love that song. I think it's called all the time. And then there's a song with Ray's sister.
[00:07:03] Her name's Absolutely. What's it called?
[00:07:07] You know, I got my notes here. Cuz I don't never know what's going on.
[00:07:12] Don't believe it. Love that song too.
[00:07:15] So if you want a little like to get you ready for summer.
[00:07:22] Put it on the speaker.
[00:07:24] Let's get loud.
[00:07:30] Cut the cameras. Cut the cameras.
[00:07:35] As for what I'm watching, I just got up to date with the last season of Abbott Elementary. I love Abbott Elementary. If you like a feel good show somet you need a feel good 20 minute show just to like bring you back to humanity. Abbott elementary is that show. It's about a public school. Elementary. Public elementary school in Philly. And it's really, it's so funny. All the characters are so funny and so well thought out.
[00:08:10] I have a pitch right now to you know, a casting director maybe that's lurking. Hey girl or boy. But hey girl.
[00:08:20] And I want to be Melissa Schementi's niece. I need to be a part of the family. Okay. Like I just feel like we are cut from the same cloth. Like obviously. What's up Ginger? You know and fun fact about that woman Lisa and Walter, obviously she was chessy for the parent drop. My favorite movie ever made. And I when I left my dance studio at age 15, I went to a bunch of different dance studios and one of the dance studios that I went to, one of the. The owner there went to college and was roommates with Lisa and Walter. What?
[00:08:59] So I don't even know how we got started on the topic. One day I was obviously talking about how much I love the parent Trap. Obviously. And the owner was like, oh my God. Like that's like, that's like my homegirl. Like I know her. And I was like what the. Are you kidding me? And she was like, yeah, like let's call her what me and my Leah pink leotard and pink tights. I'm was like called her. She was like oh, my God. Hey, you know what's up, girl?
[00:09:26] I have a girl here that, like, is a huge fan. I was like, oh, my God. Hey, like, I love you. You are an inspiration. I loved you back then. I love you now. This was like, I mean, this had to be, like, at least 15 years ago, almost 15 years ago.
[00:09:42] And she's like, oh, thank you, sweetheart.
[00:09:45] So get me on Abbott Elementary. As Melissa Shimendi's niece, I think that I love the universe. Put it in the manifestation cauldron. You know, I love to manifest up in here, up in here, and that's what I really want. But if you really like a fun, light hearted show, watch Abbott elementary. Also. Principal Ava is like, also my spirit animal. It's probably like, if I were to play a character on television, she is on my Mount Rushmore of people that I want to be because she's hilarious.
