On Not Caring About Cars

On Not Caring About Cars

On not caring about cars, oh my word…

I wish I could completely convey to you how much I don’t care about cars.

I mean, it was not always this way.

When I was young I loved exotic and expensive cars.

And then. Then I grew up.

I grew up and I began having to pay for things myself.

(It’s amazing what that will do for you if you don’t know.)

Now I just see cars as an expensive tool. A necessary expense and liability.

Does it get me from point A to B? Is it cool in the summer and warm in the winter? Is it big enough for my family? Does it not break down?

I am convinced that unless you can afford to get a new car every four years (or stupidly get one anyway, even though you can’t affound it) cars are a complete hassle.

Of course, in some ways, I have grown up and come back around…

I have grown accustomed to the heated and leather seats, but haven’t we all?

I got a one-show job performing near the Russian River in Northern California. I drove there in my second great car, a yellow 1966 Ford Mustang (my third and last great car was a yellow 1967 Jaguar XK-E. Then I lost all interest in cars).

An Amateur In Physical Training

An Amateur In Physical Training

If you don’t know, this applies to girls too, 100%:

No citizen has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a disgrace for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

-Socrates

H/T to wherever I saw this on Twitter.

I forgot to write it down and now it’s gone.

DM me if you see it.

Thanks!
