I was watching the Matrix the other day and got to wondering what happened to the Tank bloke played by Marcus Chong.

Turns out negotiations to return for the latter films went wrong. According to him he was blacklisted. According to them he was threatening people. He now seems to spend his days spewing bile about it - https://twitter.com/marcuschongsite?lang=en

If bad things happened I sympathise but it's now getting on for two decades ago, it ain't changing now and no one else cares.

A pal of mine can easily manage 6-10 hours of unbroken ranting about the end of his marriage and basically cannot think of one single other thing. This was ten years ago and it looks like the rest of his life will be thrown away obsessing over this. I feel for him but can't be arsed to give him any energy any more as it's an infinite black hole.

How many people do you know who are fixated on a perceived injustice done to them in the deep past?

I know a lady who is single. Her husband left her. They were married for 8yrs and together for 2yrs before that. He left over 20yrs ago now and she mentions him in nearly every non-work based conversation I’ve ever had with her.

She even stalks his and his ‘new’ wifes Facebook, Twitter, Insta and LinkedIn accounts weekly.

Insanity imho.
