Some essays aren’t planned. They just happen. Like this one. I just started writing and it flowed out of me. I have never shared these words or thoughts with anyone… until now. open.substack.com/pub/larryfli...

At the Utilita Arena in Cardiff waiting for Pentatonix to take the stage.

I hope you’ll give this a read. open.substack.com/pub/larryfli...

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to still believe in things like Santa and flying reindeer.

In case you were wondering, you can do the entire dance routine from Britney's "I'm A Slave 4U" to "New Song" by @bentleyrobles.bsky.social ...

Being a hipster has got to be exhausting. Personally, I'm happier vibing to pop music and watching corny shows like "Strictly Come Dancing." Life is far too short to clench your innards in a bid to be perceived a certain way.

There is something so delightfully liberating about finally cutting crap “friends” from your life. Bonus points if they realize that they blew it with you.

Can you tell me how to get to #SesameStreet?

Powerful words by Huy Nguyen…

No matter how absolutely lucky you are in life, there will always be something missing that makes your heart ache.

I am perilously close to becoming a cranky old man... and, oddly enough, I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Absolutely loving #BeyondTheGates ... but let's please save the proclaimations of its superiority once they run through the stories they had months to refine before going on air. Endure the inevitable slump or unpopular story with grace and creativity, and then I'm with you.

People are truly wacky.

Sometimes the best part of a workout is the 15 minutes I allot after for a quiet cup of coffee alone in a cafe.

I keep thinking of things I would like to say. But meh, who cares, right?

Hmmm…

Whenever I go through streaming services and the films currently on offer, I am convinced that I am totally out of step with what average viewers want to see. Why are so many films featuring robots or zombies trapped in a dystopian enviroment?

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." - Anne Frank.

We all have to make a buck (and that includes me). But when an entire city is literally going up in flames, maybe pause your social media promotion for a day or two. #ReadTheRoom

No one warns you that time and age makes your life smaller and smaller until you are dependent on a scant few people for friendship and conversation. The advent of social media only makes it worse. Where are the hugs, the handshakes, and warm energy that only comes from hanging out in person?

Every time I start to write more than a social media post, I am reminded that few people read anymore. It makes me sad.

Wishing you love today and every day.

May she rest well.

We had such a grand time trekking through our fave songs of 2024. Have a listen!

I am so mentally tired and burnt-out that I cannot even listen to people I like prattle on about anything right now. LOL!

Just FYI: If I ask "are we still going," I'm not really confirming our plans. I'm hoping for a guilt-free cancellation.

Is anyone else wondering what Solange Knowles is doing right now?

The allegations about Jay-Z are a signal that the fallout from the Diddy arrest is going to be everything that the Hollywood Madame and Jeffrey Epstein arrests weren't. Diddy is definitely NOT going down alone. He is going to take everyone possible down with him.

Listening to "experts" who are barely out of puberty condescendingly and inaccurarely explain something that I witnessed firsthand might be the most enraging experience ever.

World AIDS Day 2024. Who are you remembering today?

Thank you for the beautiful shout-out, dearest @lukekerr.bsky.social ... I admire the brilliant broadcaster that you have become. I am forever thankful for our enduring bond!

There are a LOT of pretty good high-profile Christmas records this year, but the BEST I have heard is an indie gem by Mayer Hawthorne. It slaps hard, but it also has a classic vibe. Listen! open.spotify.com/track/5do0h1...

The criticism of what Amanda Setton wears in love scenes on #GH is wild to me. Let's see what y'all are rocking in bed, folks! LOL! Props to Amanda for setting boundaries... and to #GH for respecting them.

Being an American in the UK on Thanksgiving is kinda cool. I can peacefully celebrate the day without peer pressure or questions about why I'm not suffering through a meal with people I hate. I can actually sit in a private and quiet space of gratitude, hang with my husband, and eat whatever I want.

Catching up on #GH ... this has been a great sweeps month for the show. And a few intriguing seed have been planted. For starters, I am already vibing the idea of a Cody/Lulu pairing.

Oh YAY, my first big-tit female bot on @bsky.app... Sigh.

Just got my annual COVID jab. Sitting in a room with about 30 people who are in my age range, give or take 10 years, is sobering. It's also added incentive to get to the gym and start moisturizing.

Thinking a lot today about how the two greatest successes I have had in life were experiments; things I had no formal training in. It's proof that you should always give something a try, if only for the hell of it. My question is... what to try next???

All of that said, I have a deep affinity for countless hetero artists whose music speaks honestly and explicitly about their lives, but that also leaves room for me to relate and empathize.

I absolutely do not expect or demand that every song be inclusive of my life experience. But after a lifetime of hunting for even a molecule of myself in hetero-centric pop music, I have no more energy or emotional bandwidth to do that anymore.

I have to confess that when I see a song with a title like the U2 song "A Man and A Woman," I skip it without listening. As a queer man of 61 years of age, I am long past trying to enjoy a song that doesn't even attempt to be relatable to me or my life.

The view from my office window. #SnowInWales

Listening to my Christmas playlist while I do my morning email is the tonic that my anxiety needed before diving into a day of stressful meetings.
