Heavy slice of life with just enough wry humor.

I’ve been reading less books this year. The overwhelm of our crumbling democracy inside the United States has been devastating, which I’ve used as an excuse to feed my screen addiction.

I’m making a conscious effort to take a step or two back from internet consumption, and read more physical books. Amidst a wealth of inspiration from On Tyranny, this quote is present for me right now.

Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey the thing you think everyone else is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.

Thought matters. Your thoughts change, for the better, I think, when they’re slower. As painful as changing any addictive habit can be, I’m trying to slow down and read. 📚 🇺🇸

I visited Flushing Meadows Park this past weekend, biking from my apartment up 31st Ave. Lovely day. Snapped a few shots of some sculpture.

On a whim, I decided to see what 404 Media’s 404 page was. It is, unsurprisingly, delightfully. Geocities forever.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. He was such an important musician in my life. Lots of folks knew him as a piece of pop culture, but he was a force. Here he is performing War Pigs with Black Sabbath in 1971. 🎵
