What’s my current status? Like in class? Or financial? Maybe emotional?
At this point, they’re all the exact same. One word: bankruptcy.
So. Over. It.
It being anything you want to think of ….other than pumpkin pie or Peaky Blinders. I’m not over those yet.
Everything else is just filler. Like those default system apps no one uses and no one can ever uninstall.

It is all about words. Your words are enough to shatter someone's heart. Your words are enough to make a broken heart unbroken. Words have the power to change your life perspectives.

Poor Mad. be happy because it is Friday. Except for nuclear war the world has nothing to worry about until Monday. Then you can be happy you made it through the weekend. You should share with us Shinboners your thoughts about Trudeau. Read headline said his win was a personal disaster… how does that work?

Thanks Nat! I like your rationale.😁 Yes, I should write about our turd of a leader and his minority govt. Basically nothing will happen and nothing will be accomplished. As per usual!🥺

Maybe your bankruptcy is really a new beginning in disguise. Or maybe it’s just another sucky thing. Either way I like your one-liner

I call for an immediate independent investigation of the apps you can’t possibly uninstall. I am sure they drain away minuscule amounts of bank accounts and force people into unintentional financial problems. It is the deeper state, probably controlled from Doral.
Yes, your days will get better.
Keep focussing on the absurdities of daily getting it done.
And, of course, keep writing. You are always thought-provoking.

I totally agree! It can’t be a good or arbitrarily innocent thing that the system apps take up 3/4 of the damn space the minute you buy the damn thing. Thank you my friend for understanding and for reading me, even when I whine.🤣

I am sorry you are bankrupt in such a variety of ways. Is there any way I can help?

Awww thanks for the offer but I think a lottery win and a labotomy are the only options at this point.🤣 Hope all is well with you my friend!
P.S. my days always get better eventually.

A lobotomy seems a tad excessive, though I can probably scrounge up some grain alcohol. Same effect at lower cost with less slicing and dicing. Joking aside, my wife has long suffered from at-times-crippling anxiety and generally-less-crippling depression–as have I, I have learned. More depression than anxiety, actually, if you want to split hairs. So, been there, done that, gave it a very poor Yelp review, We are dealing with the usual array of back-to-school ailments and issues but generally we are good. my friend. I am stubble-deep in editing what I have written of my book thus far (approaching 92,000 words of actual text), which is like the most joyful tedious thing ever. Ironically, given how this project started, I am struggling to complete the four (of 11, counting the Introduction) chapters that are actually about *my* life, Kicking up a lot of what Nell would call “unresolved issues” they are. Well, no better therapy than finding a publishser to arrange for folks to pay me to read about ’em. Yeah, I should really get on that one of these days…:)
Stay awesome…and keep writing!

I feel you and your wife on a spiritual level! More depression than anxiety but the anxiety is mostly ‘new’ thanks to having to give up life-long coping mechanisms that apparently drowned or numbed my anxiety. I’d love to take back those habits some days but nooooo….I’ve been told they’re not just illegal but also bad for me. I hate adulting sometimes.
Also, I shivered with recognition regarding your difficulty with writing about “you”. I’ve been told many times over many years to write my story. Um…people, for the record….it’s not cathartic or even romantic like in the movies. It’s horrible. Worse than therapy. At least therapy the unbiased professional keeps you on a timeframe and on track.
If anyone can do it, I believe it’s you Matt. I cannot wait to read your book!! I’m absolutely excited about it.
Happy editing and thank you for baring with me!

You are wicked kind, thank you.
Here is how I put it in the introduction:
“I was surprised how hard these chapters were to write, especially since they were supposed to be the ‘easy’ chapters. But the process of selecting and organizing the stories I tell in them kicked up what Nell might call ‘unresolved issues,’ including ones related to alienation, loss and grief. Not that my childhood was especially dark; I had a wonderful childhood. Still, as Lynch deftly revealed in his 1986 neo-noir masterpiece Blue Velvet and in all three seasons of “Twin Peaks,” underneath placid surfaces often lay nightmares—as good a definition of film noir as any.”
Florid language aside, everything in the prior chapters is either recent history or stuff I was learning for the first time, making them wicked interesting to put to paper. By contrast, the first 20-odd years of my life–the good, bad and the meh–are old news to me. Been there, lived that. So there is a certain tedium factor as well. Which is bizarre, because I usually love telling my stories. Just bear with me, and all that.
As for *your* stories–which your reticence makes even more intriguing–you will tell them or not on your own timetable. In the meantime, we continue to follow your musings, mad or otherwise. 🙂
Back to adulting…
