If It Feels Good Do It

In the first two years of high school I wasn’t workin with much. In the second two, I worked with Repo Man.
Some people had a lot of friends. I had few. Some guys were in a band. They were cool. Or they could skateboard good. I couldn’t skateboard good. I could just skateboard. Or they [...]

Boring
A few nights later I went back to Fern’s. It was a Friday.
Same skate stickers. Same 25 oz Busch. Same dude who was there a few days prior. Apparently.
“Hey!” some dude said. “You were here a few days ago! You came up and talked to me.”
“…Yes! Thank you for remembering. Please excuse me for forgetting [...]

Whatever beer is cheap.
That’s how my conversation with the bartender began.
Most legs drove me crazy at that time. This was two days ago. The bartender’s legs drove me crazy at that time. This was two days ago. She wore a short dress to make sure she drove me crazy. She walked to the other side [...]

Is that a normal conversation? I ask that question a lot down here. Now that is crazy. I say that a lot down here.
Like yesterday. I walked down the steps. I live on the third story of a not complex apartment complex. It’s three stories total. One long staircase leads from my doorway to the [...]

I originally read about it in the Economist. I checked it out. I thought it was cool. I started [...]

I must be the only one in my family who drinks coffee. Well, my father drinks coffee. But he’s not really, “in my family.” He’s just my dad — an extreme individualist who lives in the mecca for such people, Los Angeles.
My mother inherited her drinking habits from her own mother, who is British. So, [...]

“If you are stuck in a rut, the best way out is to do new things. This is especially true if you don’t feel like doing those things.”
-Ian Bowman, 2009
Well, it might have been 2008 or 2007 when I originally said something like that, but fuck it you get the point.

I was 21 years of age. I was not particularly smart at that time. I’ve written about many things on here, but never that era. Never have I begun something “I was 21 years old…”
That was an embarrassing time period.
I could not bring myself to write about it.
Well, until now. I’m over it.
(Only a few [...]

Check out this cool letter I received from AEON yesterday.

Cool, huh? My favorite sentence is the middle one that begins, “Unfortunately, we regret to…”
Just kidding, that is not my favorite sentence.
I’m not a big fan of any sentence that begins with “unfortunately” and “regret to.” I am also not a smart man. I am [...]
