it's important to remember and some facts about la croix

 Timothee Chalamet, he's just a person. He's just a guy. Like you and me. A flesh and blood human being. He's going through everything you're going through. Ups and downs. He's been righted and he's been wrong-ded.

Michael Jordan. He's just a person. At the end of the day he's a human being like everyone else.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, she's just a person. Let's not forget that no matter what position or label is attached to someone, above all--they're a person.

Seth MacFarlane--the guy who made Family Guy. He's a person. Real as they come. We have access to so much information that our perceptions of people we've never met feel more real than reality.

My neighbor Eric, he's a person. He's just a person.

Donald Trump. Well he's just a little man beneath the stars and moon that have shined for a long long time.

Hedorah aka the Smog Monster is a Kaiju from the Godzilla franchise meant to be the embodiment of Yokkaichi asthma which affected a lot of Japanese citizens in the 60s and 70s because of pollution. He's not a guy.

But Travis Kelce, well you bet your buttons that he's just a person. No different in any way--both physical and mental--from any other person. 

All people are indistinguishable from each other as far as I'm concerned. One human collective mass.

Abraham Lincoln. People call him a great American hero. Abraham Thinkin' they sometimes called him. But I know what he was really thinkin' about--probably about how his son Willie died at 11 years old in 1862.

I've lost the thread on this. I just wanted to say that while it's definitely logically true that all people are people I can't accept that and I think it denies the myth-making NEED that we all have--like I think it's a fundamental human thing--human process for a thing to represent a thing. I don't know.

Did you know La Croix means 'the cross' but it's called that because it's from La Crosse, Wisconsin? How crazy is that? La Crosse is also where the St. Croix river is, which is pronounced like 'croy'. 

You can't even find the inventor of La Croix. It was some beverage company that wanted to compete with Perrier sparkling water.

Plants are people. Spiders are people. Dogs are people. Trees are people. Carrots are people. Steam is people. A frog in a vest is a person. It's not--
