i noticed if i take a shower i come out of the shower with opinions so i usually write them down but then as i slowly dry off i stop agreeing with the opinions i had in the shower so what i’m saying is i only have opinions when i’m wet

People think showing emotions is cheesy,
but you know what else is cheesy? PIZZA
And pizza is pretty damn great, especially with extra cheese.
I’m good at Art and Literature. It’s the freakin weeken.

i never thought about it until cell phones became ubiquitous but
when it is bright outside your screen needs to be brighter for you to see it
it is competing with so much other light
when it is dark your phone can be much darker and it feels better that way for your eyes
i always assumed it would be the other way around earlier in my life
the darker it is the brighter you need to be
but i have learned that when things are dark a little light can go a long way
this is strange and makes me happy
this has been an unexpectedly sentimental post
inspired by something i often consider to be not very sentimental at all but thank you
science

most of the time
poetry is not fun
why would people pay to read poems
when they can watch parks and recreation for free
why would people spend time reading poems
when they can spend time looking at pornography
why would people spend time writing poems
when they can do anything else
just think of something
you can do that thing

i could smash this computer
i could take out my dick really dramatically
i could smash this computer with my dick
i could smash my dick with this computer

Love you were the loveliest Love I ever loved.
I was not your maiden.

This is water.
In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.
We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested. However, we encourage everyone to seek out the full speech (because, in this case, the book is definitely better than the movie).
Everyone who follows me needs to watch/listen to this. Trust me, it’s worth it.
I love David Foster Wallace.
