Despite dealing with lifelong depression, various addictions (cocaine was the worst), and a life that had no direction and thus no accomplishments, I’ve never been suicidal. I’m too curious about tomorrow. But when I see where this world is headed, I almost, almost, wish I could be. I’m an old white man. This world has been ruined by old white men. Our country is being torn apart because white men are losing their privileged status.

I can’t imagine anything to be thankful for this year. Trump was elected, the democratic republic appears doomed, humanity still can’t live in harmony with nature, and to top it off I’ve just learned that I have to move in 6 months from the living arrangements I’ve enjoyed for a decade. I’m not pitying myself, just assessing reality.

All my adult life I played in a stage production called “My Working Life”. At work I wore a uniform (costume) and acted according to a script (the expectations of the job/my employers). I wasn’t me at work, I was a character in a play which earned me money that was used to enjoy my real life. In fact I took great pains not to mix my professional and private lives.
