@MatthewModine@FMJDiary Ordered one a few hours ago! Two of your movies came out when I was in high school…Vision Quest and Full Metal Jacket and both are all time favorites of mine. Thank you for the incredible performances in each.
If you are thinking of leaving NYC and moving to NC, don’t.
It’s hot and humid here.
There is nothing but fried food and pizza here and not the kind you like.
People speak with a southern drawl so you can’t understand them.
People let their dogs run free. Kids ride in the back of pickups.
Lots of snakes!
Maybe the most important thing you learn by attending public school is that we are all at the mercy of the bottom quintile. The rules you follow in life will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile, the taxes you pay are to support the bottom quintile, the greatest risks to your life and property will come from the bottom quintile, the dearth of comfortable public spaces is because you have to allow the bottom quintile to be there, our zoning laws are developed for fear of the bottom quintile.
I've been divorced twice, fired 3 times, traded 3 times, gotten 2 DUIs
Not exactly a highlight reel.
But here's what I've learned: You've prepared for your future through your past - if you paid attention to it.
Since 1998, I've been sober.
Since 1999, happily married.
The lows make you appreciate the highs. I appreciate happy because I've been sad.
Every setback can lead to a comeback if you're willing to learn from it.
