Did you ever watch Mad About You in the ‘90s?  Do you remember the theme song?  (‘The Final Frontier’)

It had this slightly misogynistic line:“Tell me all your secrets, and i’ll tell you most of mine, …”

I hear that now and it bothers me a little.  The woman is supposed to tell him all her secrets, and the man says he’ll only tell you most of his.  That really doesn’t seem fair.

Tell me all your secrets and i’ll tell you all of mine.  That would be fair, but is it as good a lyric then?  Does the tension between “all” and “most” in the lyrics add something to the song?

Maybe.

Or am i being over-sensitive? Maybe I have too much time on my hands and I should be working more on my own shit.

I took a 4-mile walk today, so i guess that was something.  Doing errands.  Not a trip to NARA Park, unfortunately.

I guess i can move at my own pace now; married, i always felt like i had to hurry and get things done according to somebody’s schedule, but now it’s just me. Maybe i’m a little slower. Maybe i stay up later than i used to — who cares? You take enough THC and alcohol, and it doesn’t really matter at all.

Well, i learned a lot by being married. I learned about people, i guess. I learned about myself. And i learned that i wasn’t very good at marriage to begin with, so I’m sure not gonna try that again. I’m too disabled to make much of a spouse anyway. I gave it a good shot, and that’s enough. I’m done.
