Sometimes I think people just don't understand what the movie Top Gun was trying to say about society.
I love the Fred Neil line from the song Everybody's Talkin' that says, "Goin' where the weather suits my clothes." There's something so wonderfully backwards and free about that idea. Most of us would just buy clothes to suit the weather where we are. Not the protagonist of this song. He's too wonderfully free and easy for that. I'm not like that. I put down roots, it seems. I just put on a jacket or take one off. I've been known to wear shorts in the summer, because of the heat, and long pants in the winter, to keep out the cold. Maybe you know what I mean. Maybe you do this too.
Remember last week, when I was upset about politics? I'm over that now. I can officially say that I do not care who wins the election, as long as I can still do my thing. Does that make me a selfish bastard, a bad citizen? Yes. Yes it does. Still, I'm going to cast my vote. That's really all I can do without putting forth any effort. I think that's all society can expect from a guy like me. I won't stuff ballot boxes or attempt assassinations. I won't carry signs or go door-to-door trying to convince people. I won't muscle my employees into voting certain ways. I won't steal the identities of dead people in order to cast multiple votes. I won't run for president. I'll vote. That's it. I'll go down and vote on voting day, whenever the hell that is. If someone could give me some heads up the day before that would be much appreciated.
"Sorry, Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower." That's damned right!
Hello, friends. Have you lost that loving feeling?
Love.
