This is the answer. I made the same decision with regard to Eric Clapton. Yes, he’s a brilliant guitarist, yes, his music has moved me for my whole life, but he’s just one guy. Turns out the world is full of amazing musicians, and new guitarists are coming up every year. I fell in love with West African blues, and so many other flavors. Painless.

I never travel with black clothes, because I never travel, and don’t own any black clothes, because I never wear black, or attend funerals.

My great grandmother used to put out saucers of Coke to kill mice. She believed it worked because rodents can’t burp. I have no idea whether any of this is true.

I’m so bored with big budget movies, especially the superhero genre. It was fun for a while, but they’ve made the same thing over too many times. The story beats, the kinds of jokes, the generic sexy actors, the attitude, the strutting, it’s all the same. I’m tired of the arrogance, and the skin-tight suits, and the glamor. I’m far more entertained by stuff an ordinary person makes with a cellphone.

Those two were so gorgeous, and the two actors had amazing chemistry. Too bad it was all wasted on an idiotic storyline, and it was too bad that Izzy was such an awful character.

I brought a little boa onto a plane many years ago. Cargo pants were in back then.

My old partner and I used to travel to rural areas in our rv, to work on low income ppl’s houses, as part of a different government program, and our clients often gave us some of their commodities. That cheese made some mighty good tacos. I used to make them directly on the propane flame to melt the cheese and toast the tortilla. We’d stuff them with avocado and alfalfa sprouts because we were hippy weirdos. The honey was great, too.

My favorite part of this is “Real people are suffering…” Oh no! Real people, you say? I better take that seriously, unlike all those fake people whose suffering is both imaginary, and completely justified. Who the hell cares about any of them?

.25. If I already hate the show or the characters in the first 15 minutes, it’s not worth wasting any more time on it. I used to try to push through, but the effort has never really paid off. I have no regrets about Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, or Bojack Horseman. There are lots of great shows out there.

Good. I like seeing these busted institutions doing more to make themselves irrelevant and obsolete. Try alienating still more peeps, folks, yer doing fine.
