Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good | 
pickI‘m a huge Kevin Smith fan in general (photo taken at one of his talks 11/2019), I listened to this book on #audible and I recommend the audiobook because Smith‘s delivery is impeccable. Major topics include working with Bruce Willis on Cop Out, making Red State, his relationship with his wife, the death of his dad and being “too fat to fly”. Plenty of humor and insight for old fans, or new fans.
Got in some audio walking today with Kevin Smith‘s Tough Sh*t. His Bruce Willis impersonation is 🔥#spring #audiowalking #bfc2021
pickI always enjoy Kevin Smith's writing. I love hearing his stories & perspectives. & all his stoner humor & dick & fart jokes (because I'm really a 14 year old boy on the inside). 😁 I'm glad this was my 2nd book for the #BookSpinBonanza! #DoubleSpin
& I think Isadora will be my costar for all my #BookSpinBonanza posts! 😻

That 70s Show has ALWAYS been one of my favorites. Kitty is my favorite character. People aren‘t getting the message to stay home, so I thought a some “KittyWit” would be appropriate. 😂🍷🥂🥃🍺 #stayhomeanddrink #that70sShow #KeepLitsyPositive #pandemichumor
So I go in to the optometrist for a routine eye examination and come out with a diagnosis of cataracts and macular degeneration. The cataracts are from steroid injections I get for a joint disease and can be surgically removed. The macular degeneration is really scary and could eventually lead to blindness. My solace in life is reading and I may lose it. I was not prepared for any of this. At least I have Rose. #dogsoflitsy #pitbullsoflitsy
#30junebooks @howjessreads #laughter My husband and I are really big fans of Kevin Smith. These books always make me laugh. The picture is of us meeting Jay and Dante from Clerks🤗 And my cat Kacy wanted to make an appearance.
Kevin Smith had a massive heart attack last night in between shows for a taping of a new comedy special. Fans of his know how verbose he is (quite the opposite of Silent Bob), and I recommend reading his Instagram/Facebook post about facing death. (This photo was posted from his hospital bed.)
Here‘s hoping he‘s back at it soon!
And who the fuck doesn‘t wanna be Batman? Batman has an impeccable moral compass, he‘s clever and mysterious, and when fucktards get sassy, he punches them in the face.
I thought this one was worth sharing in several places, so apologies if you follow me elsewhere.
So here's the tough shit: Security, normalcy, convenience, protection, and identity are opiates you've gotta wean yourself off before you can be an individual. You can't stand out if you're blending in.
As much as you want to walk your own path, you're terrified of standing apart because the path offers security, normalcy, convenience, protection and identity.
There's an accepted norm, and when you deviate from it, life gets more difficult.
It's tough realizing you're done doing that which defined you.
Art can't be graded, because it's going to mean something different to everyone. You can't apply a mathematical absolute to an art because there is no one formula for self expression.
Hockey analogy part 2.....
Yep, I'm sticking with it. (Hockey analogy part 1....)
Truth. It took a while to hook me into this book, but I think I'll finish it now.
We project identities onto movie stars, forgetting most are really just blank canvases across which some very cool performances happen.
But who we want or need people to be and who they really are tend to be miles apart-especially in the movies.
One of the things that helps you focus less on an undesirable present is the eternal promise of a hopeful future.
Figure out what you love to do, then figure out how to get paid to do it.
In the face of such hopelessness as our eventual unavoidable death, there is little sense in not at least trying to accomplish all of your wildest dreams in life.
pickI have been a fan of Kevin Smith movies since Clerks.
What I like most about his movies is that despite the non-stop profanity, they somehow manage to be touching and human. And hilarious. This book delivers the same, especially the audio, which Smith narrates himself. He dishes on the movie business, his friends, wife, Bruce Willis, Tarantino, Miramax, etc, with lots of body-fluid humor and candid insight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
