i was in my lunch break yesterday

trying to take notes on my phone

big mistake

five minutes in, i was scrolling x (twitter) instead of working

as much as you dont like

the idea of "fake it until you make it"

it actually works

you only need to know its purpose

his hands were tied

and he was unhappy about it

like italian actor toto and french actor fernandel

in the french-italian comedy film

Autumn Angst

90 stephen king-like horror stories that go under your skin — for the scariest time of the year

they scare the shit out of you

i will release it on sep 21

but why am i broke not rich
why is the church a bitch
i cannot handle this

it has to stop now
or i will shout out loud

like my neighbors will start wondering
is it in his blood or gene
and the police is questioning
what the hell is he doing

.

the internet has changed

the internet has changed us

offline and online used to be two worlds

but they have become the same

using your self as a starting point to jump from

and distance itself from

so that there is enough emotional distance

for times of being attacked disliked even hated

i have a confession [1]

im playing a character

and if youre building a personal brand

you should do it too

distance creates longing

and longing keeps the romance alive [1]

but what if the point of creating longing

is the keep creating longing

its so alive

that companies like pocket fm

are able to expand globally

and offer audio series to more and more people

i like kourosh dini

i learned zen and the art of work from him

his teachings include a "visit-based approach to work" [1]

you show up to a thing
stay for a single deep breath
and do absolutely nothing should you decide so

unitree wins the gold medal for the 1500m run at the world humanoid robot games

setting a world record time of 6 minutes and 34 seconds [1]

the current mens world record is 3:26

and theres nothing wrong about it

my dad has an ai girlfriend too

but dont tell my mom

(well, she actually knows)

the moment you say it out loud
the magic disappears

a dream feels infinite in your head
but shrinks once explained

a joke makes you laugh alone
then dies when you repeat it at dinner

snow lands pure
until footprints turn it grey

not everyone knows the secret

knowing it means youre privileged

because others dont know them

so heres a secret of my life

and its not the candy M&M → EmEndEm, either

im talking about

the E’s you would rather not talk about

because they require you to show courage

and predicts your next binge

the secret is out!

because im going to reveal the algorithm

that saves netflix over a billion dollars annually [1]

an iranian friend from vancouver sent me a link to a documentary

over british columbia (1996)

"Watch this before coming to BC" he said

only if you choose to cut your senses

and think local

act local

and behave local

i care about the exciting ideas that an experience gives me while im on the go

because that is what the act of moving does for me pretty much every single time

but only if youre ready to get hurt, as i point out in PLD43 [1]

ive seen a couple of places in the world
