  • Movies have objectively gone to shit.

    It’s like our culture got permanently constipated around 1985. The writers born before that are aging out about now.

    A creative culture is a relaxed culture with lots of free time. Now it’s common to work 2 jobs and never afford a house.

    Maybe a meteor will hit us. I hear there’s an “eclipse” coming soon.

    I got jumped once.

    (Walking home at 3am. Crowd of kids under a streetlight, a dozen. Figured there was a party nearby. I’m walking by, say hi, one kid approaches me, says “hey you got a light”. I aay “nope”. He walks closer and says it again. Then bam, somebody hits me on the head from behind with a bat. I’m out for a couple seconds. Come to with blood everywhere. 2 guys standing over me. One says, “give me your wallet, we know where you live, don’t call the cops, we’ve done this before”. So I give them my wallet and they run away down the street. Then I’m sitting there bleeding for a minute. The crowd is watching all this. Then one says, “I guess we should run”. Then they all leave. Then I get up and walk a block to a friend’s house and call an ambulance.)

    Still got the scar.

    After that, everybody was a suspect. Everybody I saw got my burning looks.

    For about 6 months I was like that.
