Your incredible hook about Hook being panned is tickling my brain in the nicest way. Plus a Rob Hamilton cameo ♥️
My love audit for deeper-buried influences uncovers Have a Nice Day, A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks, the autobiography of professional wrestler Mick Foley. It's the only book I would have read multiple times as a kid, and I (foolishly) cut out several pictures for various scrap projects, only to later get it signed when I saw him speak in New West 15 or so years ago.
He wrote the entire book by hand, refusing to use a ghostwriter. I still tend to view my life through the working your way up narrative he used to tell his story. As my interests and careers have changed, I have always held in the back of my mind that I will one day write an autobiography like Mick's—so I'd better have enough material to make it interesting.
What a thought provoking piece on how to reclaim your joy....a much needed emotion these days!!! It brought to mind the Gidget movies for me. I loved them so much and I guess it was for the joy of that first love!

Right! I'm going to have to finally watch a Gidget movie. ❤️
The original one with Sandra Dee is the best!!!
