♟️
Playing chess with no stakes in the park with fun people while finishing off a bottle or two. Getting a little crew together, choosing a nemesis, and getting pizza at the end of it all.
Haven’t done it since coming back to NYC but if you’re around Tompkins or Seward and wanna get some chess + drinks going I’d say let’s get it going.

I love gabbing over any game. That being said, there is something delightful about a causal, low stakes buy in poker game as you chat shit with your friends. Sneaky I’ll play all night. It’s a non-taxing social activity that kicks off the weekend. The learning curve isn’t as crazy as you’d think--If any of y’all NYC PI.FYI wanna do a fun lil practice game (I’ve done M&Ms instead of money), let’s get it going 😎

Sometime in 2018, back when the world was our oyster and NYC offered a Cheesecake Factory length menu of places to drink alcohol with friends and strangers alike, I lost interest in activities. ‘Activities?’ You may ask, ‘What do you mean by that?’ I’m talking card games, tennis, gingerbread house making, dodgeball, chess, you name it. Now that bars slam their doors shut at 11 pm, I have been forced to refind the joy of games, crafts, challenges and group athletics. A game of pickup sticks among friends is actually an exciting change of pace from spending too much money on martinis till too late at night. Thursday afternoon kickball is a great way to get some sun and take out some pent up aggression. Activities forces you to put in effort and organize with friends as well as frequently pits you against them, strengthening bonds and competitive tension in a way that adds a little spice into your social life.

Being comfortable is nice when it’s a reward but as a state of being it’s boring and makes you boring and a boring life is a waste of whatever this is supposed to be. Go be uncomfortable (me talking to me)

1. Don’t go to sleep until at least an hour after you stopped drinking
2. Chug like a litre of water with liquid IV
3. Pee like twice before you pass out
4. Wake up kinda early and chug a liquid IV water again
5. Eat a sausage egg and cheese sandwich (replace where dietary restrictions apply)
6. Take a cozy nap for an hour before noon

If you don’t define yourself by “what you do” then you can comfortably try (and fail usually) at everything. Do what you love until you don’t love it and then do something else. dont equate “what I do” with “with my life”. If you have a canvas and you paint something and you say wow this is garbage, just paint something different!
life’s only as serious as you make it out to be. Enjoy it and learn shit.
