My Midlife Crisis
I wish I would have fell off that fucking mountain and went out like a champ. Now I have to live in a world where my friend is in a wheelchair and other people complain about bullshit. So where do we go from here, everybody? I still want to do good after all of that. I still want to do the work. Do you want to do the work? My friend in a wheelchair wants to do the work

Rooster Collins. You know, it's funny. If I didn't know any better, I would say that you were Dave Chappelle incognito on this. But that's just that, you know, that's just my science fictional brain working. But anyway. Yeah, what? I mean, what is the work? That's crazy. I'm sorry about your friend. You know, metaphorically, it seems as if some of us have all fallen off a mountain
I'm not going to lie to, uh, this specific piece is very important to me. And the words that you said, it's incredible. Thank you. Yes. I'm not secretly, I just have. Sometimes I fall into a Dave Chappelle cadence to my voice, and that is simply a symptom of watching the Dave Chappelle show. When I was in high school, that's when it came out

It's. Damn it, Rooster. You know, I am having a midlife crisis myself. Born in 1979. Father died when I was. You know, he died ten, nine, eight, seven. So October 1987. I had just turned eight years old two weeks before that. It doesn't matter, but I never really got to my dad, and I never really got to know my mom either, because she was always drinking. But I love that woman

You said something about I'm awake, and I think I am awake. And it's scaring me a little bit because I don't know if people are. I've had this thing, like, are people recording me? How did I draw this? And then this is in this comic book. How is this comic book telling the same story as my life? Literally the same exact, step by step, pretty much judge Dean or judging Dread is a comic book from 2000 AD
Don't waste any time. The thing is, man, I had to stop what I was doing because I want to be a director, and I want to make real things. And you know how it is these days. When I was in college, man, it cost a lot of money to shoot things. Now I own all of the gear necessary to make something that is, like, I could make it myself
I did it when I was the president of the debate club when I was in high school. I've just always been an excellent public speaker. I always wanted to be a stand up comedian when I got into a regular job and I became an OSHA, like, OSHA safety, hazardous materials, all full board certified training people. And I would get up and I would give lectures, and no one would laugh. And I was like, this has never happened to me before
And I started laughing and I just think that's whether that's my conscience, my voice, or God, it really is a fucking funny statement. And I was like, man, God is funny. You really do complain for somebody who's every wish dream prayer has come true. You complain too much, sir. You complain too much, son. Stop it. Anyways, man, yeah, just keep making art and it's going to come for you
