Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing wasn't it weird?
One time Marc was en route to Ireland with that one woman. She was in his lab. And he had a crush on her the moment he saw her. In Ireland he screwed things up with her. And he never forgot about that since.

Although he couldn't remember her name anymore....

How things go

There was a bar. Outside of town. Just beyond city limits technically; this allowed them to avoid a few laws or something like that. But nobody gave a damn about that and they called this their favorite bar in town.

It was my favorite bar in town. In fact it was...

Discovery

Writing is easy when it's an action of discovery.

It becomes difficult when it becomes the task that follows discovery.

Then it just a matter of time before we lose the willpower to write.

We like to cast people as superficial. As base creatures who want nothing more than recognition.

But if they wanted...

Discovery > documenting > announcing

Announcements are dangerous.

We make them, then wait eagerly for congratulations and permission from others.

But what permission are we thirsty for?

Now when you read this you might say you are not announcing but rather documenting.

Documenting is more truthful than announcing, but people never last with the documenting.

They'll make excuses: most...

The woman with no small intestine

She fed herself through four bags of saline solutions. She took the four bags twice a day. 

Four years ago her torturer ripped out her small intestines. The torturer must've been a trained surgeon, otherwise there was no way they could've pulled off such a clean job.

Besides the height and...

Food -> Shit

Food presented on the table is beautiful. Appetizing. Can't wait to dig in.

When I go to the toilet I create shit.

Thinking about what you actually give to the world versus what the world gives you, it's not hard to be humble.

It's once you start crafting these arbitrary playgrounds. Aspire for...

An artist who could not create I

There was a pub one artery and two veins from the square that sheltered probably who I'd consider the most miserable soul I've known.

He arrived that watering hole around the same time I would: the start of happy hour before the crowd ruffled through. It was my favorite time to...

Less ->

Less speaking about what you are going to do. More doing.

Less doing what you think you want. More doing what you like.

Less thinking you want what you like. More being open to what you actually like.

Less thinking you like what you want. And more liking what you like.

The Bill Collector I

First job out of college was for the national gas company. Went around reading people's meters and making sure we collected the right amount of money. Most people did pay the right amount, but you always ran into some troublemakers.

Even these troublemakers weren't that bad. You just had to catch...

Before the commitment

For me the worst part about the internet is the best feature: infinite access to information.

By this point in my life I've figured out and accepted that the best type of day is not the kind that starts with consuming. It doesn't matter how good the podcast is or how...
