  • Radio and TV always sucked. That’s not a new thing. The only time I see ads is during sports.

    You have less free time as you age. Happens to us all.

    This is where social media shines. Go to any forum that’s focused on one of your favorite entertainments and ask the users what their top 10 things of late are. Check out the most mentioned. Fuck it’s December. There’s likely year-end lists all over the place.

    You already have a shared passion with those folks so it’s likely you’ll have similar tastes.

    Try listening to one of the records they recommend on your commute instead of the podcast that agrees with you.

    Sure that show seems stupid but it’s 22 minutes and I can put it on while I make dinner. …and since when do I hate stupid?

    When you were younger you prided yourself in ignoring the spoon-fed bullshit you referenced. It takes a little bit more effort at our age. You obviously care about it.

    Cheers.

















  • I didn’t care. I’d never made a big deal out of birthdays and had forgotten my age. Friends would tease me about turning 30 and I honestly didn’t know.

    I woke up on the morning of my 30th birthday and hit the bathroom to get ready for work. Then I noticed something…

    There was a hair growing out of my ear. Not a little blonde thing; a black piece of steel wool. I instantly realized that “it” was over.

    I got over it. Turns out your 30’s are the fucking best. If you’re lucky you have a couple of bucks to spend on fun and a bit of smarts to keep from doing dumb shit.

    Happy birthday, b.
