Also... I'm continuing to sort of be here? An approximation of a presence maybe.

As Roger Murtaugh once said, "I'm old and this shit sucks."

Okay but can plumbers be pipelords?

It’s so easy to figure out where people are. At some point this will be a serious imminent problem as is hinted there unless there are massive changes everywhere.

My biggest problem is trying to define my brand. I’ll need to meditate on this.

And there were so many people I met who were totally struggling by their mid 30s. People that had been in bands on MTV and whatnot. The labels always prospered (and now the streaming services).

I spent almost all my 20s (in the 90s) trying to make a living as a musical artist, and then realized I needed healthcare. Also watched peers get absolutely fucked by labels so it was a rude awakening all around. I was lucky to be able to go back to college.

Messiah of Evil has become a rewatch staple for me in the past few years. Love seeing this reference. And also yes they should kiss.
