I never did it, and
          	  Iā€™ll never do it again
          	  Iā€™ve never trended, and
          	  That seems to be the trend
          	  
          	  Stripe, I gotta right stripe down my back
          	  Itā€™s bluish orange and black as molasses strap
          	  
          	  I never did it, and
          	  Iā€™ll never do it again
          	  Iā€™ve never trended, and
          	  That seems to be the trend
          	  
          	  Hype, it tries to getcha in the sack
          	  It pulls your guts out, then fixes you a snack
          	  
          	  I never did it, but
          	  I might just do it again
          	  Iā€™ve never trended but
          	  I might just pretend
          	  
          	  Chorus:
          	  I know it takes a village
          	  To form a pyramid, but
          	  Self sabotage and pillage
          	  Gets ya replaced by some kid
          	  
          	  Iā€™m not offended, but
          	  Thereā€™s not much to defend
          	  Iā€˜ve never bended, but
          	  Iā€˜ve gone around the bend
          	  
          	  Gotta jimmy leg that wonā€™t stop at my ass
          	  It wraps around my throat makinā€™ my voice sound crap
          	  
          	  Iā€™m not offended, but 
          	  Thereā€™s not much to defend

          	  I know it takes a village
          	  To form a pyramid, but
          	  Self sabotage and pillage
          	  Gets ya replaced by some kid x2
          	  
          	  Bridge:
          	  Every day is a Wednesday
          	  Every month is November
          	  Every age feels like 51
          	  Not that I can remember
          	  Each discipleā€™s a Judas
          	  Every tearā€™s gonna simmer
          	  And every fucking one of us
          	  Wonā€™t go out with a bang, but a whimper
          	  
          	  I never did it, and
          	  Iā€™ll never do it again
          	  Iā€™ve never trended and

Hi Sean! I hope you don't mind, but I made a poem based off of the title of your book, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well Lit Room. I credited you at the bottom, just thought better to let you know. Best wishes :)

Itā€™s beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It illustrates one of the main themes of my book perfectly.

12 minutes into Netflixā€™s new mini-series ā€œPainkillerā€ you will find a familiar face. I improvised a whole scene where sad-sack Mike goes on and on about all the stuff that his ex took (most fun Iā€™ve ever had on set) that had my co-stars fighting back laughsā€¦which mostly got cut (common occurrence)ā€¦but Iā€™m feeling so VERY grateful they left even a little bit in. Comment if you got a chance to see it! ā¤ļø

@Sean_Browning I believe I saw your scene. I think you are the customer with cash in his wallet. The video I was able to obtain was in Spanish, which I don't understand, so I'll watch the complete episode (and potentially the series) whenever it's available in English. It looks good so far. I only glimpsed the first 12 minutes and saw the main character fussing at his rig worker. Then I noticed him stroll over to Mike. That's fantastic. Another author who enjoys acting. :)

@Sean_Browning Hi. Is the series about America and opioid addiction? If so, which episode are you in? I'd like to watch the show asap. :)

Hey! I just read some of your work (I donā€™t see so brightā€¦) and love it. Shades of Douglas Adams. Quirky, playful dry humour sprinkled all over the most universally profound of themes. Thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks for the lovely reply! Still reading and enjoying it.
