It was proclaimed "unputdownable." I beg to differ. It was throwable across the roomable. I'll pick it up again if I ever yearn to read unending rants of a GenXer's jealousy of her best friend's money and fame as an author. (Huh?) And that was the first chapter, my last.10 Feb 2025 14:53 +0000at://did:plc:ls6wwmwnv6cmynd6vp4ohwup/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhtfk3iwyc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/tearosekent.bsky.social/post/3lhmu3oxwac25I watched Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," where Jerry chats with famous comics one at a time. The most surprising comments were from Eddie Murphy, Alec Baldwin and Seinfeld himself. Each said they were loners in high school and had no friends. Introverts?

I like this phrase. It's fanciful, it's antiquated. And not one you often hear anymore. I'm waiting for the right moment to utter it myself. Maybe then I'll know what "that" is. But can "that" truly take the place of "it?" Why not say: "Be that as that may be."31 Jan 2025 17:46 +0000at://did:plc:ls6wwmwnv6cmynd6vp4ohwup/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh2kj64jcs2thttps://bsky.app/profile/tearosekent.bsky.social/post/3lgz5z3j7hk2eI think the world is overdue for a few good laughs.

In both, Seinfeld's laugh was long, but curiously silent with bowed head as if he were praising a comedy god. Both grew up in the same town on Long Island, NY.27 Jan 2025 23:03 +0000at://did:plc:ls6wwmwnv6cmynd6vp4ohwup/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgr2ead7oc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/tearosekent.bsky.social/post/3lggfjk6s522hLess is.23 Jan 2025 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:ls6wwmwnv6cmynd6vp4ohwup/app.bsky.feed.post/3lggfjk6s522hhttps://bsky.app/profile/tearosekent.bsky.social/post/3lgfzv2ba6k2mJUST ANNOUNCED: Oscar's Best Picture Nominees: Anora The Brutalist A Complete Unknown Conclave Dune: Part Two Emilia Perez I'm Still Here Nickel Boys The Substance Wicked23 Jan 2025 13:55 +0000at://did:plc:ls6wwmwnv6cmynd6vp4ohwup/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgfzv2ba6k2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/tearosekent.bsky.social/post/3lg7ddmcfzc23@nickwaswriting.com I remember you.

But I don't write like any other writer. I only write like me. When I realize that could be a good thing, I know my envy is actually admiration. Writing styles are like fingerprints.

I think we are. Just like dogs, humans have breeds. Certain characteristics classify dogs as dogs, but distinctive qualities differentiate them from other dogs and add up to a breed. We're a breed, too.
