My current obsession is: Finding five minutes to just lie there.
If I could meet anyone, alive or dead, it would be: Socrates is the funniest person to have existed, I’d like to drink a flagon with the guy.
If I could change one thing about the world it would be: Eliminate all technological advancements since about 379 BCE except concrete and the skateboard.
Whoever is reading this should try: You ever shut the fuck up? Feels great, give it a shot.
For my next trick I will: I’ve been thinking about nose manual bigspin flips for about 24 years, I should probably try one at least. I think the loading dock behind Kellogg Marsh would be amenable to such a maneuver, gets you leaning in the right direction.
I give my thanks to: Atoms and the void.
