This is the reality of getting older. All the talented entertainers who were adults when you were a kid start dying off. There will soon come a time when none of the actors and musicians we grew up with will be alive, and only the faggots whom our kids enjoy will still exist. The only consolation is that we'll be dead soon after.

I'm glad I'm still alive after all the reckless nonsense, but it hurts seeing a lot of my friends go. In my crew, half of us are dead.

After hitting my late 30s, not a day goes by when I'm not filled with existential dread about aging and disease and death, and the eternity of nothingness that comes after. I have a wife and a lucrative career, but deep down this is all I can think about anymore. I don't know how every human in history hasn't become totally dysfunctional over this anxiety.

We have to keep on. A year ago, I had to bury my friend from a heroin overdose. I put him in rehab and the day he got out, we played scratch offs together. Next morning, they found him dead in his car.

No motherfucking way. I've seen female bodybuilders before who look very manly but how much gear was she on that literally every single person who has watched this movie was convinced it's a dude in drag?!

One of the best cinema experiences i've ever had. The laughter from the showing i watched shook the whole building. The last comedy that had that "The Naked Gun" style of humor and nailed it. The sequel/s can't hold a candle to it.

I echo the sentiment, this one really hurts. I remember when one of my older brothers came home with TDN's eponymous first album, which contained the act's first Top 5 hit, Harry Nilsson's "One."

Fun fact: Three Dog Night was not just the three singers Negron, Cory Wells (d. 2015) and Danny Hutton. It was the name of the entire group, the singers  and the players, including the incomparable Floyd Sneed (d. 2023).

Here's one of my favourite tunes from that album, the Lennon-McCartney composition, "It's For You."


ETA: If you listen to this through headphones, Danny is in your left ear while Cory and Chuck are in your right.

Dying is something that happens to other people, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Haven't died yet, have I? Not planning on.

I had one of my first panic attacks about this before I was 10 years old. Still get antsy about it, but tend not to dwell on it too often.

Of course, another way to look at it is that you were dead long before you were born. Infinity long, even.
 
My youngest grandson was born two months after my mother died, and he will never know her.
I most likely will be gone by the time he has children.
What's the saying, after two generations you're forgotten?

I will be 63 in a couple of months. At my age, you don't really worry about death.

We will all be memorized in text. Some LLM will learn your wisdom.

I am already forgotten. All my family died before me, and I chose to not bring offspring into my world. I am the dead end. Once I am gone, this bloodline has perished.

At least I think there is no heir to this kingdom of mine. Who knows.

You are my mother's age. Or, you know, would be, if she hadn't left so suddenly.

Ah, well.

RIP Finnegan Fox. Heaven got a lot more heheheheheheheheheh.
