Caring about getting a job
Family Friend: All this is very creative, but, you're not getting any money for it, or are you?
Brother #2: No, I'm not. It's really a positive outlet for me, keeps me away from the Doctors, Therapists and Drug treatments, I can't afford. Can't afford to loose my life over it, I know that from experience.
Family Friend: Well, I know the medication helps so many people and they're coming up with new ones all the time to help people.
Brother #2: For some, it works, for me, it hurts, for Mom, it killed.
But, I found something, I think I'm pretty good at doing, I enjoy making people laugh, getting some attention and making a positive impression. That's what I enjoy, and most people, I know, now, seem to like it or at least are slightly amused. A writer writes, I learned that from Billy Crystal's character in "Throw Momma From the Train,"
Brother #1: We all got the irony in that one.
Family Friend: And you brother #1, what, have you been doing?
Brother #1 (long pause) Relaxing, enjoying myself.
Family Friend: How are you able to relax?
Brother #1: I get the paper, do the puzzle, have Chinese, watch Jeopardy on tape, listen to music, The Fan, and stay up for the rebroadcast of New York Sports on One at 4-5AM.
Brother #2: I wish I could be like Brother #1, he has mastered the stress free life, totally. I wish I could get a fraction of the satisfaction in life he gets in his life. It would be great to ignore the Computer Age, sleep through it, until the end. Wow, to be able to keep your calendar at 1975 is a great thing, a WNEW-FM, calendar, at that.
