They call this “Godfather Street,” and Francis Ford Coppola Avenue is “Star Trek Alley.” Oh, those Hollywood people!

Hush. This is more blessed and holy than any church or temple. The stage where Orson Welles directed CITIZEN KANE. The most wonderful place I’ve ever been.

Stage 19 at Paramount Studios, formerly of RKO when a twenty-five year old Orson Welles made the greatest movie ever. They also shot on Stage 32, but mostly here.

I completed the holiest of holy pilgrimages to these sacred sites… Paramount Studios stages 31 and 32, where they filmed the original STAR TREK and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.

Dumbass me walked from Sunset to Melrose on a whim but my dumbassery has been rewarded with the final spot on the Paramount Studios tour. I’m gonna meet Fonzie and the Happy Days gang.

Remember this movie, THE BACKWARDS-AGING ASSHOLE (2008)?

Brad Pitt makeup bust from BENJAMIN BUTTON. Or, if you wish, BENJAMIN BUTTHOLE.

Saw her light up an otherwise undistinguished segment of ROD SERLING’S NIGHT GALLERY just a couple of weeks ago. Always a delight, always original and engaging.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Guess I’ll make a video to share with you of the shit I see.

Today I’m going to Hollywood Blvd. I was going to Sunset to look at Joan Jett and Go-Go’s related sites, but the pull of corny ass tourism is just too strong. I’m a yokel at heart. A yokel who looks like a fucking supermodel.

But it’s not very interesting or rich fodder for the curiosity seeker.

If I didn’t have depression and anxiety attacks I’d never have any bad days at all.

So I’m free to enjoy the simple pleasures, like someone’s name cut in concrete, or a colorful snack cake wrapper in the gutter. A free sample cup of frozen yogurt can totally make my day, if not week.

Still, I’m impressed by interesting people and their interesting journeys!

It’s okay, though. I’m not invested in myself enough even to throw a pity party. Like most of the world I do not give a shit about me. Which is why I’m mostly cheerful and optimistic. I don’t have a care in the world.

I’m often confused as to why I have friends and this many Bluesky followers. Granted, many soon came to regret their choice and muted me because they are too kind to unfollow. But talk about your non-starters, your “failures to launch.”

I get why people might want to know more about him, whereas most people are happier once I’ve left the room. No, I don’t talk about myself when I meet people. It’s boring and sad. Also I never did anything.
