static fade;

I’ve reached this point in my life when I need a hobby or something.  I don’t want to take up golf, or surf.  I grew up on an island.  If I wanted to do that, I would have started already.  I’m newly divorced and I should be exploring this new freedom, but I’m also not the guy who used to hit up the clubs and party all night.  Ideas, suggestions, thoughts of randomness?  I’m here for it.  @gonehollywoodstarters​

Part of me wants to say Summer Brothers era -- but I’m also really looking to play footie more. I think it’s time we return to our true roots, become professionals, and let this band gig thing do what it wants. Alternatively... because I can only imagine your laughter to that suggestion, maybe let’s go get drinks or something? Life’s been a little empty without Mikey time. 

For the last year, I've been working on one project after another, and now that I finally have some off time and I don't exactly know what to do with myself. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit of a workaholic. If something sounds good, even if I'm already working on 5 other things, I'm quick to say yes because I love to stay working. I've been starting to feel a little burnt out, however, so my agent suggested I take a break and now I just don't know what to do. I'm tempted to just tell my agent she needs to start sending scripts my way because I don't know how to take breaks. Does anyone else have this problem? ( @gonehollywoodstarters )

It’s so surreal when you get time to yourself after pushing and pushing out content -- be it both just getting to breathe for the first time in ages and having to slow down and enjoy life as it is for a minute. I dealt with that a lot when I was younger -- constant music, touring, and publicity. It feels almost selfish to step away and take time to focus on yourself, but it makes everything else you do better. Gotta take care of yourself before taking care of everything else, otherwise all the cracks start to show. Video games, beach days, gym, and friends are my sage advice. 

You’d think after I deadbolted myself out of my hotel room in Paris a while back I’d not do something equally stupid again any time soon, however - I have locked myself out of my apartment and spent a good 3 hours on my own fire escape today so clearly doors and I just aren’t meant to be friends. Anyone else completely unable to open or close the most normal thing in life or is it just me?

Y’know -- I’m not even gonna lie, I’ve had door issues too. Usually issues with hitting the top of the door frame or knocking my arm on the door. I tend to lose keys a lot too -- so I’m the haphazard bastard that leaves my shit unlocked. My sister insisted I get private security for my house, but like -- I’m just gonna lock myself out, what’s the point? 

So, I'm giving Last of Us a second watch, because I was still kind of hungover during the first watch, and you miss things when you speed watch something. And, not going to lie, I would absolutely say yes if Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally asked me to be part of a thrupple. But fuuuuck. Mr Pascal, and I say Mr out of respect and not age, I bow to you sir. Anyone else in awe of this show?

The casting for that show? *chef’s kiss* Absolutely phenomenal. I can’t believe they got Offerman for Bill, but it was an iconic move. It also doesn’t help that Pascal is just a literal God among men and owned every single line that left his mouth. I... yeah, awe of this show would sum it up. I, admittedly, was also obsessed with the game, so this show was everything I could have wanted. I also am fully obsessed with Bella Ramsey’s performance; they fuckin’ killed the role of Ellie.
