Especially over the last year as I was drowning in merde, I sometimes found myself thinking that if I ever did get to trade with anyone, I’d likely end up the gainer. But man, as far as I’m concerned, really it’s far worse than Pascal’s bet. Me, at least, I know I can sometimes handle.

And I’m guessing you *totally* look like a movie star every.fucking.day. The hott kind.

OTOH, who knows how many of them are happy. Or whether I’d trade with any of them. AND I saw a guy in the lobby with a bad toupee, which ALWAYS makes me feel loads better, or at least superior. Not that there’s any such thing as a good toupee. There is either the bad toupee you notice, or you think it’s hair I suppose.

And today some guy touched me and said, You look like movie star. And I’m all like, maybe I’m having a good hair day. And then I think, what, who, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou? And the waiter at the Chinese restaurant was nice to me. So things looked up today.

I’ve noticed that dopes tend to have better careers. there is some kind of force of attraction that drives mediocrity toward the word ‘career’, I tell myself. On the other hand, I also self-soothe that there is no such thing as ‘career': it’s just event after event, drop by drop, wist by whir by reverberating string, right?
