My partner, when angry (which is often) and creating chaos will tell me that I 'love chaos.' She tells me I'm toxic. It's an almost complete inversion of reality. She says it like she's trying to convince me of it.

Thing is, we didn't get together until I was 36. I had 15 years as an adult. I've now worked for the same company for 20+ years. I have lifelong friends, and have never had a 'falling out' with a good fiend. I have a lot of friends. I have people that have worked for me for over a decade. My siblings and I are close. My relationship with my parents is great.

None of this is bragging because it's all normal for so many people.

My point is that my life, outside of this relationship, completely falsifies the shit she tries to say to me. She has to see this, and on SOME level, knows it, which I think just makes her more angry.

Wild world.

I'm 43 and a huge music fan (or so I thought). In my mind, for whatever reason, Roxy Music was a totally different band than they are in reality. I suppose it's because I so closely associated them with 'More Than This,' that they were kinda straight pop and even soft rock. I loved the track but had never really considered diving deeper.

Then I randomly heard Virginia Plain and thought 'hmmm, this is not how I thought Roxy Music sounded. This is badass' I then realized that Bryan Ferry was the singer on the cover of Johnny and Mary with Todd Terje. I thought 'this guy is way more interesting than I thought.' I then listened to In Every Dream Home a Heartache, and my mind was officially blown.

I'm now in month 3 of listening nonstop to their entire discography and I've decided they are the coolest and most interesting band of all time, and, at least in America, easily the most underrated band from the 70s and it's not close.

Shorter Version: I discovered that Roxy Music fucking rules at the age of 43.
