Sorry, that made absolutely no sense! I was just trying to work the Pink Floyd angle in there somewhere and…aw, just forget it! So how the hell is everybody? I’m afraid I don’t have much good news to report, ergo the long-ass break between posts. Seems like every year I go about 2 or 3 months without talking to you because I’m depressed.
Truthfully, life nowadays is starting to look a lot like it did when I lived in Chicago almost thirty years ago. (30 YEARS, wow! 🤯🤯) Yeah, back then I didn’t really do a whole lot with my days. I was trapped in an office from Monday to Friday, with every morning starting with an exhausting cardio or strength workout. And while everyone else was spending their weekends trying to squeeze in seven days’ worth of activity into two days, I was sitting on my 🍑🍑 watching football in my sardine can of an apartment. Have a look some of my recent self-medications.
I mean, I didn’t think there was anything WRONG with it at the time. I was raised an athlete and had spent my entire life honing my body. And I had dreams of being a fitness or a runway model, so that meant a lot of hard work. And I didn’t have any money, so I couldn’t really afford to go anywhere. But yeah, that was my life then…and today.
But…and this is a BIG but…I do kinda feel like I’m turning thangs around. GrubHub kicked me off the app for two weeks, which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. What happened was I got called in to do background work on the show The Rookie (don’t ask me which episode) and I missed a shift. Yes…ONE shift! And with GrubHub, any sort of absenteeism means you can’t schedule any delivery shifts for 14 days. So instead, I just learned how to make more money with Uber & Lyft. Years ago, I invented something called Kravitz Mode, whereby I only accept paid rides heading IN the direction I want to go. (Get it? Kravitz Mode: 🎶”Are You Gonna Go My Way!”🎶) Well, this week I learned to PERFECT that mode. Now, instead of praying for someone to get in my car, I will actually just sit around and wait for someone going where I want them to go. It might take up to two hours and about 50 or 60 rejections, but I’ll eventually get a fare. So I’m real happy about that.
Also – – and you can file this in the “Better Late Than Never” category – – I’m actually learning to be a responsible adult. Back on October 3rd, I cleaned and vacuumed my room for the first time in a year-and-a-half. How ’bout that! And from now on I’ll have Wilma here to document this amazing accomplishment!
Anyway, enuff’ with this responsible adult bull-💩💩. Aren’t these vintage Steve Madden platform thongs every-thang! I wanted to do this shoot this at Lake Castaic, but I didn’t feel like paying $12 for parking. So, I found this cute little spot at the intersection of Ridge Route Rd. & Castaic Lake Dr.
Also, in the “Further Education of Johnny Cotton” file, you see that cute little waterfall surrounded by the pretty flowers in the photo above? You’ll see scenes like this scattered all throughout Southern California in front of gated communities and high end malls & establishments. Well, I learned that these thangs are actually called “Entrance Sign Monuments.” Never too old to learn, right? 👴👴💡💡Any-who, ’till next time…Love, Peace and 👡👡👡!
