You may have stayed on the bus one or two stops too long. What condition is your condition in?
Somewhere beyond that horizon, somewhere beyond the neon sky, there must be something better...
There has to be nice farms and vineyards where poor guys like Willy Loman can go live and work in a nice vineyard instead of succumbing to nepotism and the machine.
And for the homeless people a nice home working in a garden with a community would be better than being homeless and feeling isolated and alone.
I thought about going and trying to get a job as a cook at Francis Ford Coppola's winery, I could live in the wine country, and cook, and also make connections in the film industry. But, I kind of like Hollywood, and Anaheim, and Malibu, and I would love to have an office at Universal, and maybe someday buy Universal, but who knows, my best bet might have been to go cook for Francis Ford Coppola on his vineyard.
And I refuse to grow bitter and angry as I grow older, I want to gain wisdom and be a positive force in the world. And I just need to remain humble. Anaheim is cool, and the people here like me, I even have friends at City Hall, my Representative came to my door and introduced herself, she is very cool, Natalie Rubalcova. Right now Anaheim is about to be flooded with $2 Billion, and the economy is going to become fantastic here. And Newsom lowered taxes for filmmakers, etc.
We have cruising now on Sunday nights, and the city started to complain, and I reminded them that the cruisers are customers who we can sell stuff to, and we can have events at Pearson Park and at the amphitheatre which has 2,000 seats, we can sell food and beverages and stuff to the cruisers, God is sending customers to Anaheim Blvd on every Sunday night now with the cruisers. The asshole cops want to make everyone into criminals instead of selling the cruisers tacos and ice cream, etc. We need to manage the cruising on Sunday nights in a healthy way, like the Universal City Walk, we need to make it nice, and we can sell stuff to the cruisers. And the same with Hollywood Blvd, they need to embrace the tourists and make it nice for the tourists, and realize that the tourists are customers.
The Bible says to always look for the beauty in the world, we cannot focus on that bad stuff all of the time. And we need to put our smartest people on offense instead of defense, and we cannot all be cops, and prison guards, and border patrol agents, etc. We need to reward the teachers by raising wages for teachers.
Anyhow, I respect the farm workers, and it is good to remain humble, and to think that I would always get out there in the fields with the workers if I had to, and it would be better than ending up like Willy Loman. And I love Carlos Santana, and Willie Nelson, and I support the farmers, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
