I’ve known my wife since I was nine, yo. So, my wife is not impressed by a lot of the things that other people can be impressed by. I have all these things, all these accolades, and it was like that’s not what was keeping her there, you know? My faithfulness, my attention, my dedication are the things that she was looking for. With those absent, fuck is she staying around for? And “Dropped the bomb, I couldn’t find a Tom Hanks,” that’s based on a great nostalgic movie for a lot of people called ‘Forest Gump’ where Tom Hanks tells a story of his whole life and how he impacted all these different things through just being himself and not even fully knowing how impactful he was. There’s a scene where he goes to war and there’s a big bombing, and he goes and he picks up everybody on his back and he takes them out of the jungle. So, he picks up lieutenant Dan, but he’s looking for Bubba. Bubba’s his best friend, and he’s trying to protect Bubba while all these bombs are dropping. So, he goes and he grabs lieutenant Dan. And he goes back out into the jungle to find Bubba, but there’s another dude’s leg got blown off that he needs to help. Then, he comes back to find Buba, and there’s another dude. He keeps making all these trips on his way to Bubba, but helping everybody else. Then, finally when he gets to Bubba it’s too late, and he’s dying. I thought that was a great explanation of how I have put so many things ahead of it trying to save everybody except for my best friend.
