Saw a bumper sticker on someone’s car that said I <3 My Mutt. On first glance I thought it said I <3 My Mute, and I thought, how nice. This guy really loves his mute kid.
It’s a shame we ever have to see Van Morrison. His old drunk uncle appearance doesn’t quite match up to all those ideas of true romance his early songs evoke.
It may very well be true that another person is succeeding and you are not experiencing success, but one has nothing to do with the other. There’s not a limited amount of success going around. In what world does it make sense that if I am funny, you are not funny? NO WORLD. We need to believe in, encourage, support, and massage each other’s egos. I believe in you. I believe in what you’re doing. Please keep doing it, and maybe do a little of it near me.
