I just want to give both of y’all a big ol’ hug. I feel what Mike was saying so much! I’ve known such turmoil and grief throughout my life that the last thing I want to do is inflict that upon others.

That interview with mike judge really touched me especially about his experience taking care of father. From my own experience have to parent you own parents is especially a tough transition. I never thought my father who seemed like Superman to me when I was young would grow old and deteriorate mentally. For example he went to the movies to see power of dog a critically acclaimed film and instead of seeing power of dog he saw the movie dog and he saw the movie the dog and didn’t recognize there were two different movies. But mike also touched on another subject that also intrigued me the concept of the narrative arc and does life have a narrative arc? When he said that judge was the best thing he even done it reminded of interview that Ian mackaye said in a interview with British magazine “huck” where he mentioned being in bands which people who thought this is the best thing they have done he never understood that. And said they no such thing as a narrative arc when it comes life. But I asked my aunt who is a playwright about can life have a narrative arc and she said absolutely. But as Ian said while he was in embrace “what is wrong or right I can’t say.”
