"I listened to it for years and I found myself singing songs from it by default all the time. All the time. And it's something about his delivery. My friend John pointed out probably 20 years ago that he sings like he plays trumpet, not the other way around. It betrays his sensitive delicate self. Somebody who would go hide himself in something as insidious as heroin. Yeah, and just his big fat gentle beating heat – never far from me, I love it."

The Epic of Gilgamesh

Book Favorite

"I enjoy reading epic stories from ancient history and in recent years have been reading abridged versions aloud to my kids. This epic poem was found on a series of ancient tablets from Mesopotamia written down over 4,000 years ago, and involves the central character Gilgamesh, an excessive and oppressive leader, and his arduous journey in pursuit of the secrets of immortality. His character evolves through his personal voyage towards accepting death, and you encounter so many tales that you recognize from history."

Game that can be played forever!

I played this game years ago with my eldest son (who has now moved on to Fortnite) and we used to spend hours creating real life buildings in our Minecraft world. The possibilities are endless. Then we moved on to survival, which can either be challenging or hard enough just to keep a young child engaged.

Then having not played it for a few years my youngest son was wanting to play on my Xbox and Minecraft was again the best thing for him to play. With all the updates to the game over the years, it has kept the game fresh for returning players and we are having so much fun building again!!

This documentary is one of my favorites. It's really hard to watch at some points, not because it's bad, but just because it's cringy and uncomfortable. It's surprising to me that people still catfish to this day, but I guess it works out for Nev because he made an 8 season show about it.

I wish they would make an addendum or something to see what their relationship is like now. It's been 10 years since the film came out and 12 since it all actually happened. Nev is married and has two kids now. He said, a couple of years after the film came out, that Angela is still a big part of his life, but that was 8 years ago. I wonder where they are now.
