don’t keep sweatin’ what I do 'cause I’m gonna be just fine
Yeah they’re both in their early to mid 70s now. Both had music out in the '80s & '90s, and both embraced a blue collar vibe, albeit in different ways.
My favorite Mellencamp song is Authority Song
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Lems are great wide-toed shoes, and they’re about half the price of the Vivos I had. They’re comfy, plus also great for orthotics.
This movie sticks with me. Such a brutal, dark, nasty movie, and it made me realize Colin Ferrell had actual acting talent. I’d never seen him in anything before and had this impression that he was just a pretty boy, kinda like McConaughey used to be.
Like, I completely get why Colm wanted to cut Pádriac off, he was so dull. But he was also so open-hearted, and so I empathized with both characters.
When Pádraic follows the trail of fingers… you know the scene I mean. I lost it, just fucking bawled my eyes out. That movie pulled no punches. It was amazing but I never want to watch it again.
…I mean, welcome to the internet?
That’s the dude who shot the United Healthcare CEO
Robocop
TMA-2 / Zagadka / Big Brother (the Jovian monolith).
if nobody wants to convert anyone, there’s very little friction
But your partner is a priest, so if you had children, would your partner want to raise them religious? And how would you feel about that?
Great, so instead of Joe the Plumber we get Joe the Crypto Bro. Cool, cool.
Come on India, get your shit together!

I’ve tried, and weirdly it made me feel rage. I was really surprised but most times I’ve tried meditation it ends in rage or a weird feeling of grief. I don’t know what that’s about but no thanks!
Haha we were all obnoxious young punks at one time. Probably why I love Authority Song so much.
I’m glad you like the rec!
