Hey, there's Jim Morrison, don't forget. I think you have spirit.
I live in NYC, for about the past six months. I'm 46, divorced, unfettered after a long time. So I just decided to bounce around Craigslist taking free parts, extras and photo shoots. In like a week, I'm getting more, one paying, one maybe soon paying good for a days work. I've always been extremely gregarious, and trippy. Most of my loved ones just can't deal with me anymore. They live upstate. They love me still, but I never shut up and bust eveyones chops. But really only loved ones. In public, with co-workers, with strangers, I'm the epitome of polite, chatty and nice. I help people carry their baby loaded strollers up subway steps. Yeah, it's a trip. It's fun. Sure I want to make money, if I can make it doing that rather than being a self-employed finish carpenter in the winter when it's slow and you really have to find work, and sometimes it isn't there, well that would be lovely. But I'm doing it because it's fun, and yeah, trippy. And the people you mentioned, and some of my favorite actors (I really only like underground stuff anymore. Rare a Hollywood piece will interest me, though there are good ones, and until recently there were many many good ones for decades) are indeed trippy people. Cukoos Nest, for instance. Or Last Temptation of Christ. Or
even 48 Hours. Nice post. Keep the positive attitude, take care of yourself, and focus on creating things. And when you're not creating things, focus on you. Keep things in order, don't dwell on love, family, work, or society's ills too much. Take my word for it, after getting divorced, my mind had a hard time with all those things for about a year. I let it go. Don't dwell, everyone has similar issues. Everyone. Most of the great novels throughout the world throughout time have been about family. The ups and downs. The Earth continues to spin to face the sun every day, and it's still beautiful here. There's magic everywhere.
