Here’s the funny thing: I’ve been incredibly productive today. Incredibly productive these past couple weeks, even.
But I sure as hell don’t feel like it. The pile of things to do never ends.

Welp. I am going to move to the Dominican Republic in August. The whole thing hasn’t quite sunk in yet, so I’ll have to do a good hard think (for the first time in a long time) before I can decide just how stoked I am to go there. :D

Me: Makes for a good Ricardian model of trade
Me: I get cough drops, I value them little
Me: But food is valued highly
Me: Whereas you are the opposite
Me: So our two curves intersect and we would be able to trade and the tradeoff would have equal value for both of us

On Jack White Releasing a New Solo Album
Me: Jack White is releasing a new solo album guys!
Luke: Oh yeah?
Greg: Who's Jack White?
Me: Yeah, the dude from the White Stripes.
Greg: Oh, cool!
Me: I heard the single he just released, its pretty good. I'm excited for it.
Greg: Have the White Stripes done anything new?
Me: They're history, old news. Broke up.
Greg: It was him and that one girl, yeah?
Luke: How'd that happen?
Me: Well I mean, they were married and then divorced.
Luke: Did that play a factor into the breakup?
Me: Dude. They were married. And then divorced. How could it not?
Luke: Well I meant did they continue playing after the divorce or was that the cause of the breakup?
Me: Oh no, they were still playing together. But gone now.
Greg: Probably couldn't stand it.
Me: Yeah, he was probably like "I don't wanna see your face when I can't get into your vagina anymore"
Greg: That should be the title of his new album.
Me, Luke: Those would be great song lyrics!
Me: Writing it.

Catching up
Trevor W.: Things are coming together now. This is my year.
Me: You watch, throw yourself into that fire enough and you'll be on top of everything. You're where you need to be right now.
Trevor W.: And what about you?
Me: Watch me. Watch me closely. There's a lot I've set in motion. Things are happening. And you'll see it pan out. I'm making sure of it. Watch me, I'm going to kick so much ass.

Disparaging
I’ve always taken stock at what I’ve done every year, right before I officially add another +1 to my age. I’m never really sure whether I’ve done things correctly (by some meaningless abstract definition of ‘correct’) but I’m always surprised by how much time I’ve spent doing things. You never really seem to recognize how incredible your...

On the difficulties of creative expression
There’s been many times where I’ve been inspired to build a sculpture, pen a story, or write a piece of music. Heck, my various sketchbooks have all sorts of half-baked inspirations; ideas which came to me in a flash, and then proceeded to disappear just as quickly. As an artist, I’ve found that I have the most difficulty expression myself beyond bursts of sheer creativity. For...

No. This is NOT okay. →
If I had any hesitation about the Occupy protests, its gone now. Not only is America being ripped apart by corporate greed, but we’re not even able to exercise our right to protest without fear of police brutality.

Lately my head’s been taking to having pounding headaches at the end of every day. I’m eating right, my alcohol consumption has been drastically cut down, and I’m even finding a little time here and there to work out.
I think its seriously the amount of stress that’s causing anomalies like that right now.
