I was with you until there. There is something to be said for fellowship "not on your terms".

At the same time, there is an age we get to.

Reinforcing the story of denim.

I completely forgot about those. I liked them both, above God and Demon.
I actually know how to make shoes, I've worked on a shoe plant for some time, very beautiful job, the environment is not the best, but is a beautiful art, I plan on doing it again.
Talking about shoes, I'm lucky on that aspect, Portugal make the best shoes there is, sometimes you think you are wearing Italian made shoes and they actually are made in Portugal with Italian design. I can spend 40 euros on shoes that you would pay four times more somewhere else, they also last very long, they don't fall apart with holes and all that, the leather gets deformed eventually but that's normal. Also here you pay very little for a shoemaker intervention.

But yeah, being practical/frugal is something I respect. (Though the poor man needs someone to buy him a new suit.) I've had my laptop for over eight years. I'm on my third mobile phone in that time, though. It's like the software is only built to last three years maximum... I hope it's not the same case with my current phone since it cost well over $1000.
I'm not so cheap, my colleges say I am, because I don't like to spend money on unnecessary things. I'm also like Werner Herzog when It comes to party, they invite I don't go, trash conversations and load music is just not for me, I invite them and I cook for them. My laptop I had it for 12 years, was a Fujitsu Amilo Pro, unfortunately it broke down and I bought another computer for 180€ used, a Lenovo Thinkpad. My cellphone is a Nokia 3310, the new ones, and before that was a flip-phone I had to put aside because I needed something with a camera for my type of work. I just spend money on clothes, and because they are so cheap they don't last long. The only thing I'm careful on buying are my Nag Champa and proper food. Oh, I drive a Fiat 126 for some time, I love it.

I don't know why I'm shocked really, I kinda get that impression from his movies.

I like Only God Forgives , but not an easy watch. Neon Demon was attractive, but not an easy watch. The Pusher movies were great.

I know Drive might not be arthouse enough, but it seems complete. Mysterious leading man, love story, revenge and Cliff Martinez on ...I'm not even tryna spell that thing.

I know of a local mechanic here, who is a staunch Republican and anti-Obama, was grateful for Obamacare.

His wife got cancer, he would have gone bankrupt and lost his business.

I'm not gonna speak on much more than that.
I’m still meaning to get organezized.
