From now on I’m just going to pretend that people really dig the shit out of me. I’ve been so afraid of rocking the boat that I’m not sailing anywhere. I’ve been trying to prove to people I’m not a douche bag by not dating, by keeping my name out of Us Weekly. That’s fucked up, man ... So now I’m going to experiment with “fuck you.”
To the degree that we're all able, I think "fuck you" is a good place to operate from. I don't mean being nasty, I mean living from a place of "fuck it" and "fuck what other people think." My daughter is 6. She had my wife to dye some of her hair pink because she thought it would be cool. Yesterday she told me that some kids in her (kindergarten) class are making fun of her for it. I couldn't exactly quote the John Mayer interview to her, but I told her in essence: fuck the people who try to bring you down because they don't "get" you. Conformity is so dull. The people that interest me most are the abnormal ones! The goofy ones. The left field creative ones.
Other tangents and fragments:
Best free app? Naturespace. Lots of seamless outdoor loops: waves, streams, wide open fields, etc. Very nice. Very free.
For the first time in a while, I'm in budget mode. Having a coffee on my night out instead of getting dinner or seeing a flick. It certainly isn't all that extreme of a budget, but until things pick up a little I need to tighten the belt.
Trying to convince myself that this massive blueberry muffin I'm eating is not breaking my no-sugar pledge for this month. This thing prolly has more sugar than a bowl of Froot Loops. Mmmmmm.
I still have many ideas rolling around in my noggin for the parenting book. I've taken some time off from writing, but more will be committed to hard drive soon. My efforts to drum up a few interview subjects came up entirely empty: C'MON PEOPLE! Let me plumb the depths of your parenting soul! Seriously: email me if you're interested.
Watching LOST I am definitely entertained, but feel a dwindling sense of hope that the conclusion will be really satisfying. I may swear off TV for a while after it's done. Lots of movies I'd like to see though....
Speaking of which: Oscars. This Sunday. It's the only awards show I ever watch and I look forward to it every year. Now if I could only win this Oscar pool I enter. Damn it's hard.
Reading a book called "Bridges Out of Poverty" and attending a seminar on the Circles Program (www.movethemountain.org) in 2 weeks. This is part of my effort to learn how to financially mentor people who are stuck in a debt cycle. I can't see ever turning down voiceover work, but I do see a time in the next 3-5 years when I begin to direct my life towards something more fulfilling than the commerce/advertising efforts of VO.
I think that's all there is to say! New DETOUR will be getting underway soon. I am trying to 'remaster' all the old episodes without intros/outros and at higher quality. Someday I'd still like to submit to Solid Steel.
BTW, check out some cool, old R&B mixes from my buddy Megatrip: he's giving you a complimentary membership to the Soul Society all year long: http://www.bmbx.org/category/king-megatrip/
Bye for now. Be well.

ahhh jon - you're too kind. btw, I've been "experimenting with Fuck You" for 20 years now -- a lot of time it works, but then again, sometimes it's not all it's cracked up to be.
peace... MK (King Megatrip.)
