  • Some people are simply night people. I’m one. I usually feel sluggish throughout the day and only really gain momentum after the sun goes down. Even without a night job I usually stay awake nearly to sun up.

    I’ve been a bartender most of my life, usually working shifts till 5am. It just works for me. I wake up at my leisure and run my errands while everyone else is at work. No rush hour, no lines. I still have days off to spend with friends.

    Frankly, I don’t understand day jobs. When I wake up I’m usually still tired for a few hours. Then I gotta work all day which makes me tired. Go home and be too tired to do shit. Go to bed because I’m tired and do it all again the next day. That feels like not having a life to me.

    We’re all wired differently. Maybe you’re just not a night person. You should do what works for you if at all possible. If you have no choice in the matter then I say embrace it. Don’t try to reset yourself too hard to a daytime schedule on your days off. You are getting up around the time most people are getting off work or school so you should be able to find time to spend with friends or family. If you commit to it you just might be able to find a way to make that schedule work for you.









  • Ishtar is a great movie but it never had chance.

    The production was plagued with problems and it went way over budget. It was getting trashed in the entertainment press daily before it was even completed. Making fun of it turned into meme. It was a running gag on Johnny Carson.

    Eventually, things got so bad with the production that even the studio execs were talking shit about it to the press. They hated director Elaine May and wanted to tank her movie and her career. They got her blackballed, the film bombed and Ishtar got the reputation as one of the worst movies ever made despite the fact that nobody even bothered to see it.

    Watch it. It’s a lot of fun.
