✍️ Writing
✍️ I wrote some brief thoughts about the concept of ‘F**k You’ money & why I’m not surprised our billionaires persist in their moral malaise. I realize this is semi-political & therefore subject to polarization, but I hope the more pertinent theme I am trying to circumambulate comes through.
✍️ I wrote an open letter to the anonymous person who stole my shoes last night. 🥾🏃♂️
✍️ New post on the blog: Conversations With Dead People—Who’s On Your Mt. Rushmore?
Thinking alot about those special voices we internalize and the dead people we converse with.
In hip-hop, the Seven Minute Drill (made famous by J. Cole) is a songwriting exercise where an artist has 7 minutes to write a verse with no prep. I am short on time today, so decided to test myself. This is what came out. Will definitely use more often.
✍️ I wrote a brief journal entry on my blog about imagination, monotony, and a thirst for life. Here is a snippet:
But what Chesterton forgets is that many adults do experience this “eternal appetite” — it just requires that they fall in love first. After all, romance has many side-effects, and surrounding your beloved with an atmosphere of irrepressible timelessness is one of them. Lovers are hermetically sealed from dullness and become ever new. Can it be that children are just in love with the world in a way that adults are not?
✍️ New post on my blog: Moving From Curiosity To A “Thirst For Life”
Brief thoughts, simple, and thrown off quickly, but definitely a topic I’m going to be meditating on for a while.
✍️ Some of my thoughts on a favorite Kendrick Lamar lyric and why Progress Is My Favorite Form of Procrastination.
