That thing is your style. Probably it’s still raw, which is why others don’t see what you see. Refine your thing, your idiosyncrasy. Sharpen it but don’t smooth out all the rough edges, these are what stick in people’s brains. Be inelegant. Be brave.

My favorite thing in getting to know new people is finding out the things they enjoy that seem a bit out of character. I think it’s comforting and a bit sexy when not everything that they like has to be “cool” for them to really enjoy it. Being self-assured and knowing your worth is hot.
After all, life is too short to try and shape yourself around a mould that doesn’t truly resonate with you. Just enjoy the things that bring you joy without caring if they are basic or lame to others. you can enjoy the band that everyone hates, enjoy the movies that people think are overrated, and wear the shirt that went out of style 5 years ago.
true authenticity is a rare trait, always has been. It’s like striking gold when you find that inner peace to just be yourself, regardless of how cringy others find it. Find the peace to like what you like without shame.

Stop worrying about what jokes and references are currently the funniest and not “cringe”. Don’t give into every microtrend because capitalism praises those who continue to buy. If a trend helps you discover something you like, that’s amazing, but discover who you are rather than sloppily tying your identity to something that will be worthless in a week.

I don’t think it’s healthy to say “my brand“. What does that even mean. Maybe I’m not internet famous enough to get what that’s all about but im guessing it means to be marketable to other people. To appear cooler than you actually are. If that’s the case don’t do that. Just be you man why the hell do you want to be treated like an object. You breathe. You live.

You have to be a member to shop here. Members only. Sorry. It’s called luxury branding. Can’t let just anybody in on these deals. These softer than soft, warm, fuzzy deals. Better luck in the next life. What’s that, you don’t need a membership to buy online? Aw naw!

This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, “Human beings are a species with amnesia.” To prove this he travels around the world to pre-historic sites and makes the argument that an advanced human civilization existed during the last Ice Age before being wiped out by asteroid strikes around 12,800 years ago. I’m a natural born skeptic, but I’ve read several of Hancock’s books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists haven’t, or can’t, sufficiently answer. Sometimes I wonder why I’m so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion I’ve come to is that they calm me by making my own problems—finishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, death—feel less significant.

Coyotes are a problem where I live. They have no fear of humans because we’re mostly wimps. So they cruise around without a care, day and night, looking for garbage, puppies, and slow children to eat. Yesterday, a coyote ran up on my dogs so I beaned it with a bag of their poop. Wolf urine isn’t 100% effective as a coyote deterrent but it works better than Morgan’s shampoo. Plus it’s an aphrodisiac.
