Too many things going on at once that I wish I could properly pin down, but it’s all constantly going a million miles a second. It’s all visceral, at times I feel like it’s the only thing giving me life. Giant ocean waves building up and crashing mid-storm, some old pixelated rock concert (possibly some Johnny Rotten footage I vaguely remembered), a huge timelapse of lights flowing in and out of new york city, past failed friendships and relationships popping up like demonic apparitions, snow falling from the sky like twinkling stars, Christ all bloodied up laughing on the cross cause he knew he had the upper hand, memories of hanging with my best friend when we still lived together in late 2022 (the best moments of my life), thoughts of my mom and dad, a atom bomb going off mid-sea and whisking forest land away, me starring in an old black and white movie playing some caricature of MacArthur with an eye patch on and smoking a pipe, the World Trade Center, a cheeseburger I ate last week, an angel in a trenchcoat trying to conceal it’s wings, some stupid remark I made in a conversation or a phrase I liked popping up in a speech bubble, a knight riding horseback through the streets of NY at night, me trying to picture my future wife and kids and longing to fix the past. I usually hear something that sounds like a mix of Revolution 9 or Ligeti’s Requiem/Kyrie playing over it. It’s like this cosmic force I can’t control which reassures me that everything is inter-connected, and that I need to make a life that’s as beautiful and chaotic as the one I see in my dreams. What does it all mean?

I don’t understand how yall end up at these random ass places you do, come across the books on ancient polyrhythmic science or whatever you read, listen to those indescribably niche tracks I’ve never heard of before or since, or host art installations from your makeshift garage, but I love hearing about every little bit of it, beyond fascinating to know all your stories and passions and the things that occupy ya mind and keep you alive. It’s like a big canvas comprised of different jagged pieces that all add up to a whole. I’ve only been on the app for two weeks or so and it’s already partly helped me heal from a lotta past grief and pain so I’m grateful to interact with yall.

It’s cool to learn new things, it’s cool to develop some new skills. It’s cool to be able to access a whole bunch of data and knowledge at your fingertips. Don’t let some guy on a podcast become your father figure or give you financial advice or try to anoint you with another monolithic identity not too dissimilar from the one you vowed to leave behind. Life doesn’t get any better, but YOU do.
