  • There’s a lot of good advice in here already. I’m just here to say that, for me, even at my lowest now, I’m way better off than when I was drinking. Drinking never, and I mean Never, made anything better. It just took me 30+ years to realize it. And I’ve lost touch with some people over it. I’m just not interested in watching other people drink. And that’s OK, our whole life is growing and/or changing and not everyone grows in the same direction.







  • I’m not sure this is really from 1955. The Adidas the dude on the left has on is showing a style of outsole that, while could be found in the early and mid '50s, wasn’t mass-produced until 1959 or even 1960. He’d have to have been an Adidas rep or known someone really high up in the company. And frankly I doubt that is the case here. He would have to have either been living in Germany or close to someone that was. And if the later is the case, international shipping would have been rather difficult. And while I’m not decrying his stylistic choices of dress, I am skeptical that a high ranking Adidas professional would have been accepted if this were the look they came to work with.









  • Right now, Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I’m reading it because a couple of friends, a cousin and I do a little bookclub podcast. We do speculative fiction. We take turns picking a book then nerd out about them. This was Will’s pick. Last pick was mine, it was the first three books in the Hitch Hikers Guide trilogy.

    After this, I’m pretty sure I’m going to re-read The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. Its been dozens of years since the last time I read that.
