Better call saul in a bad world

This t.v show is great but as i watched this show many years later. I realized something. A theme. In this world, everybody is bad but stays away from the truth. One scene in particular is with chuck in the hospital bed, after the police tazz him and he experiences real mental issues with what is "proven" later by jimmy that its all in his mind. We are led to believe his condition is real because at the print shop, he really gets the symptoms. So, we are thinking its real, we know the truth, and chuck is experiencing his truth, and the characters are unsure if they do believe or dont believe or they are entertaining him..

But this is not it.

It dawned on me. Its really saying something else. Its not about if chuck is a liar or if its facts that he can have this condition. Its in plain sight. Chuck is old. Chuck has medical problems with age. But since he is so ego maniac (big shot, rich millionaire) that he blames his "condition" as a lie for the fact that all great men , just become old or useless. He cannot live with this truth. He blames the electricity for his health problems. The show clearly says, "he was the champion" of law. The king. Yet, its because of his condition that he cannot perform no more. As the theme of the show, walter is also a bad heinsenberg because he cannot be the "king of a good family man" Everybody is living a lie. And as i reflect upon this, i realized, i meet old people, has-been, arrogant people, old woman who still think they are hot, and in society, we all have to be "entertaining" to others egos. Its hard to accept the truth. Chuck, you got nausea, tinnitus, chest pain, sweats because your simply "old" Live in truth or lies. We lie to ourselves all the time. Am almost 50 years old. The hardest thing to admit is that am over my prime, peak. Lol Am just a old dude now. But as i look around, i see that alot of people are very interesting. Some clinging on to glory days, some clinging on to their youth, yesterday, and yet, its kinda only thing that we have , "our narrative" our story. Because the idea that life just washes it all away like sand 🏰 castles at the beach is a hard truth to bear. Yet, here we are. This finally led me to a conclusion. Is life really just bunch of people struggling to deal with reality and fantasy? We grow up in a world and we learn what is reality and fantasy... For example: your not that special at school, you were not from a rich family, the girl didnt choose you, can you dig it? And sometimes, fantasy and dreams do come true, she did pick you, you did get that job... Lol but at the end of the day, its never over. New level, new day, new devil At the end of the day, its a constant battle ground in our mental health. Life is good. Life is harsh. Life is bad. Life takes you for a ride then you got to get off. Times up.

Bored? 😴 Spare time? Try vettix

Yuppp. Vettix. If your a veteran and low on cash Or simply bored and dont want to spend a ton of money on events/concerts/festivals/bar hopping without knowing if you want to spend hard hard cash on something that may or may not interest you. Try vet tix.

Especially, when you are in las vegas or in your home state

Its a charity (donor based by veteran) who pay it ⏩ forward.

I used it several times now.

I went to mind freak show in las vegas that would of cost me 70$ for like 10$.

Its (comped) complimentary. Okay the venue place was a bit rude, hostile, didnt give me the "preferrential treatment" but they did honor the comp and let me watch the show live.

I ended up buying over priced beer, which was like 15$ for a heinkein.. but i got the ticket for like 10$.

If i paid full price i would of spent 100$ probably but comp tickets are cool.

Anyway, got nothing to do? Bored? Need a short night out or comp event? Try vettix.

I never knew this existed. Wwe would sometimes show people using this for like 1 minute but i didnt bother trying to figure it out. I am almost 50 years old so my life is pretty routine, boring, got almost everything taken care of. So i started to look for ways to speed up time.

Happy days bro. Maybe if your lonely or just wanna go have fun (volunteer) fun..

Basically, you pay only for the "delivery fee" of the ticket and its no-scam.

I was suspicious and paranoid too. Anyway, i then was back in my home state. And i found bunch of random shows and base ball and basket games.

I saw a concert. I even went to see some random show ,comedy show, she wasnt that funny. But if its "comped" i didnt mind.

I bought some pizza and soda for 20$ but the tickets were free. And it was local so it was like 10 bucks on gas.

Hello.

I have used 35 months of the post 911 gi bill and got this letter in the mail.

(Yes i know, i went to college and these va lingo is still very confusing to me, plz help)

Okay, so , what does this mean?

I can get 12 more months of mgib? But i might have over payment because pgib pays higher?

Then, i have to calculate if 12 more months of mgib will pay more after the "overpayment" of 35 months?

Or is this just an extra 12 months so i can finish getting my B.A?

Anybody do this?
