Tony, get it through your head that Florida is a rapidly collapsing hell hole, a trap for feckless boomers who would otherwise be a blight on productive areas of the country like Anehiem or Lancaster.
What was immediately apparent to me when I came to California after extensive travels in the east and the heartland is that ghettos in California have better accommodations, more resources and better community feeling than middle class and upper middle class neighborhoods in most of the rest of the country. And those are the worst neighborhoods, the slightly better and even middle class neighborhoods are as nice as anyone could want while our extravagant opulence is as extreme as anywhere else while also benefiting from perfect settings. Many of our structures and much of our infrastructure is due for a rebuild, but fortunately in this state we have the cash on hand to do it and at the moment will see support rather than resistance from the Feds.
Florida is a state of sweat and anxiety, spiraling expense and deteriorating income, both driven by republican stupidity and boomer avarice.
You are gen x, Tony. At 55 it is high time you go back to school and learn from gen Z. Seek your answers in the students as well as the professors.
Choose yourself a completely new Associates Degree or Commercial Liscence. It is free to you in California in a way that just aint there for those poor fucks in Florida.
Remember education is Antifa and all fascists must go down.
I have always been proud to live by Hollywood, and I always enjoyed serving the stars at various jobs, I always thought it was cool to be able to meet the stars. As a child I washed dogs for my Grandmother who was a Dog Groomer, and we used to groom dogs for stars sometimes, I washed Victoria Principal's dog when I was a kid, and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And I managed a dog kennel with many famous customers, and I worked for Suzanne Pleshette, and I drove a limousine in Malibu, etc. I always enjoyed serving the stars and being around the stars. I always wanted to work in the Entertainment Industry, and I wanted to live in Malibu. I almost made it, I lived on the beach in Malibu for one year in a beautiful home, but I could not get any work in the Entertainment Industry, I spent a fortune on headshots to send with my resume, but it is a hard industry and I could not even get an agent. But, I had to try, and I am glad I tried.
At this point I am focusing more on the behind the camera stuff, and the writing, etc, and I would like to produce, etc. A couple of my heroes were Lew Wasserman, and Aaron Spelling, who proved that one is never too old to be a producer or to run a studio. I can also direct, I could direct Shakespeare, etc. Cecil B. DeMille went to the same acting school that I attended.
And yes, I can learn from the younger people, and I hope to find a smart wife who can teach me, we can teach each other, and it would be cool to find a wife to write and produce with, etc. And it all begins with going to the Chapman film school and meeting new people and getting involved with their activities and workshops, etc, and I can get a tutor to teach me how to use this Apple Laptop and to put the programs on it that I need. I can meet a whole new group of people by going to the film school. And I can act in student films for free for the students, I would enjoy that. I would like to find a wife who is about 30 years old who wants to write and produce, and maybe live in Italy someday and own a winery, etc, and maybe open a night club in Rome and shoot movies and television shows at Cinecitta.
On the issue of other jobs, I had a professor who worked at the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, and he taught me how they do their program, they helped Elizabeth Taylor overcome her drug addiction, and they helped Ozzy Osbourne, and a lot of other people. I thought about going to San Diego State University and becoming a Psychologist and then moving to Palm Springs and working at the Betty Ford Center. But, instead I decided to go to acting school.
The film school is too far to go a bicycle, and so I need to ride the bus, I have not been there yet, but it is somewhere over by Angel Stadium. I know how to get to Angel Stadium. I need to get involved with activities and workshops at the film school, and I need to hire a tutor and helpers. And maybe somewhere along the line I can find a great woman who wants the same dreams that I want, and maybe I can work as a team with a great woman and maybe together we can do great things, and it would be great to have a baby.
And I will always do charity work to help the Foster Children, and the Homeless, etc.
I need to find a wife, and together we can work together as a team to chase dreams and goals. And right now everyone wants to help and support women, I can love and support a wife and help her to live her dreams.
Salute,
Tony V.
