  • Should be asleep ramble but…

    Honestly, had a lot of time to think back in chemo. Wasn’t even old enough to drink yet. Caught early, pretty high rates for success… But still… Lots of time to think. Sat next to sweet old ladies with much harder fights…

    I appreciate the cosmic absurdity of it all. This whole experience of brief life in a tiny blip of this stupid cosmic scale of infinity in all directions, billions of years either side… Meaning comes from what we make it. It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. Try to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

    Find hobbies. Learn a new skill. Get lost in a book, or museum, or at a disco. Get that extra slice. Take that road trip. Learn how to play that instrument. No, it’s probably not too late to start skiing, or climbing, or studying French. Grind if you have to. Cool shit often requires luck, but those who put in the hours get lucky more.

    I feed my brain new music every day, and try to add laughter to every room I’m in. Make art, be weird, find the helpers.

    Much love






  • Yo, heard. Reminds me of something familiar on my end as well. Nice when there’s a lil bit of wiggle room in a system like that. Gotta have a functional team though that can appreciate that work hard play hard work-life balance thing.

    Relatively recently got a decentish gig after only working “good bad jobs.” While the corporate culture shock is still abrasive at times, nice having some actual benefits and shit – other than being able to call in “sick” to fuck off or hang with the boyes without care or consequence. Have a decent stack of mandatory personal/sick days that renew annually.

    I can already tell I’m gonna be getting mighty ill around the holiday season, something definitely brewing.



  • I got into a fender bender with someone I knew from college. Spun out on ice so we meet front to front when we bumped. Once the cars stopped I swear we both practically did the cartoon eye rub of disbelief lolol.

    Not mine but old school crew story. Couple of lads bumped into each other in a bar in Europe - we from the States. Neither knew the other was traveling. Heard a distinct laugh across the pub and rest is history.
