It's pretty fuckin' stupid that I have to pay $35 to see my shrink when all we do is bullshit. Today's topics: me quitting smoking, my Paxil lawsuit check and my love life. It's like talking to a friend I haven't spoken to in a while -- I just sort of catch him up on things, there's no actual therapy involved. But in order to keep the meds coming I have to go see him every 2 months or so. Couldn't I just check in by phone..?
As far as my love life, the Gypsy is out but there's already another gal on deck. We'll call her 'the Heathen', as under 'Religion' in her profile she put 'not religious', and after seeing pictures of my tattoos said "I really like the red devil one." Now that's a far cry from the Throat, who asked why I had tattoos with such "negative connotations." From her photos she's attractive enough, but like seemingly every other young lady I've dated in the past year she's 5'8". What do women eat these days? Are there any under 5'4" out there???
The 'celebrity deaths come in threes' hypothesis rang true again as actor Dennis Weaver of 'McCloud' and 'Gentle Ben' is dead, joining Don Knotts and Darren McGavin. Not sure why that is, but more often than not it is. And these three were all relatively young, each in their early 80s, not exactly favorites in any ghoul pool (especially with Bob Barker and Abe Vigoda still around). What was it with Dennis Weaver and cowboy hats? Practically every role he played his character wore a cowboy hat; he even wore them in commercials...
'Gentle Ben'. That was a pretty cool show, although highly unrealistic, as proven by the documentary I watched last night called "Grizzly Man." It was about a bear activist who spent 13 summers in the Alaskan wilderness with grizzly bears. In his last letter he wrote:
"My transformation complete—a fully accepted wild animal—brother to these bears. I run free among them—with absolute love and respect for all the animals. I am kind and viciously tough."
But apparently not tough enough, as he and his girlfriend were killed and eaten by a bear, the events recorded by the microphone of his camera for posterity. I'm all for conservation and animal husbandry, but living amongst the largest land predators in North America with no protection whatsoever isn't exactly ingenious...
Good news for all Shrek fans: he started working out, and despite his calves being freakishly large he's working them out as well so they should become even more ridiculously ginormous. He'll have to have his pants made custom to fit his calves. After only 3 weeks he's maxed out -- the calf machine doesn't have enough weight for him. He's gonna have to hang cinder blocks from it to increase the amount of weight he can lift. Gotta love Shrek. Fuckin' mutant...
Although I've gotta give the big guy credit, he sure makes a cute kid. Take a look at Shrek II:
