Working on Life

Riders in the Arroyo, Pasadena, CA (circa 1930). My barn, San Pascual Stables, is still located in the Arroyo of South Pasadena since at least 1916. Riders still go out on the trails around the Arroyo. Some things haven't changed.

This is a video of David Cross, circa 2004, ranting about Fox’s inability to market Arrested Development. Obviously the show has had over seven years to grow its rabid fan-base, but don’t let that take away from the fact that Netflix has magnificently executed the marketing of the show’s return. The escalation of the whole thing has been beautiful. Just when I feel as though I’ve hit a fever pitch, Netflix does something else, and I get even more excited. And there’s still 10 more days to go! It’s like, my God, what is this feeling? It’s like my heart is getting hard.

I am boundlessly excited for these new Arrested Development episodes.

I am not a toy you can play with when you’re bored or lonely or horny.

I am not the girl the guy gets at the end of the movie.

I am not a fantasy.

This is why we’re gladiators.

Glass Beach, Northern California

From 1950 to 1967, residents of Fort Bragg, California chose to dispose of their waste by hurling it off the cliffs above a beach. No object was too toxic or too large such as household appliances, automobiles, and all matter of trash were tossed into the crashing waves below, eventually earning it the name The Dumps. Then in 1967, city leaders closed and reclaimed the beach. Various cleanup programs were undertaken.

Over the next several decades, the pounding waves cleaned the beach by breaking down everything but glass turning the sand into a sparkling, multicolored bed of smooth glass stones. The California Department of Parks and Recreation purchased the land and incorporated it into MacKerricher State Park in 2002.

Lately, I feel like I’ve been more sensitive to stories like this because if the marathon bombings including the earthquake in China, the fertilizer plant explosion in West, TX, and the protests and riots to the election in Caracas.

Every time, I just get sadder and think what can we do to prevent something like this again. I think we all need to start feeling about other people again. It shouldn’t be weird or noteworthy when someone helps someone else. It should be the norm. We should care for all human kind because what good is hate and destruction? I think Patton Oswalt was right when he said the good outnumber the bad, but I also think that now we’re caught up in an age of apathy and ambivalence to look cool. I’m over it. Care about someone else. Then I’ll think your the coolest. And if you don’t care about my opinion, that’s fine but I’m just sick of being sad.
