dead tired
A lot of his friends now had an Amazon Ring. Or some other type of home security system. He really ought to have one of those. It was the 21st century after all. Why wouldn't you have one of those? During Christmas he had watched the first

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.

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.

Why people are unhappy once they achieve the things they've wanted
... is because people are not wise enough to want the things that they want.
We go about living thinking we want things, so sure that we know just what it is that we want. But unlike how a person with no background in software would claim not to know...

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...
