he don't show much these days; it gets so fucking cold

Los Angeles is a dangerous and exhausting city. I can see why people hate it.
It's also magical. That's why they never leave.
The most important thing I've learned thus far in the things that I don't talk about: People have limits. We can only do so much. Drugs, sex, rock & roll. You'll die. You'll pass out. You'll go deaf. Strive for perfection, but accept that you'll never achieve it. Things won't turn out the way you plan, but sometimes they'll turn out better. The trick is to not let it get you down when they don't.
Thursday is going to be a really great day.
