That thing is your style. Probably itās still raw, which is why others donāt see what you see. Refine your thing, your idiosyncrasy. Sharpen it but donāt smooth out all the rough edges, these are what stick in peopleās brains. Be inelegant. Be brave.

I donāt actually want you to surf. Already there are too many surfers. If you do try surfing, you will not look coolāyou will look like a kook. The worst look in the world. After years of embarrassment, maybe, maybe you will learn to ride a wave without looking like a kook. Still, the ocean will try to kill you constantly because, fundamentally, you remain a kook. But being so close to death where life on Earth started will cause you to reassess your place in the natural world. You will never dump your petroleum lube down a storm drain that leads to the ocean. You will never eat goosefish because itās in the red on Seafoodwatch.org. You will learn to laugh at yourself, because in one way or another, weāre all kooks flailing to keep from drowning.Ā On second thought, I actually do want you to start surfing. If youāre in Los Angeles hit me up, I have an extra board you can borrow.

My second date with my wife, Allie Rowbottom, was a yoga class. I was wearing jeans so she let me borrow a pair of her momās maternity sweatpants. I was bending over in prasarita padottanasana when I ripped the ass. I like to believe thatās the moment Allie fell in love. Probably thatās wishful thinking. Now we do yoga videos nearly every night together on Glo.com. I also enjoy in-person classes, but in these situations there are too many variables out of my control. Other people's farts, yes, but my real fear is encountering an instructor with a mean streak and too little understanding of male anatomy. With Glo Iāll never again be trapped in a dimly lit room, grunting through a torn cremaster, too embarrassed to head for the exit.

In a neighborhood of bad Irish bars this is the best. They just celebrated their 100 year anniversary and most of the clientele are approximately the same age.

My first date with Allie was a dog walk. The uncomplicated joy of dogs running free allows for the clarity to make good life decisions. No leashes, no masters.

You have to be a member to shop here. Members only. Sorry. Itās called luxury branding. Canāt let just anybody in on these deals. These softer than soft, warm, fuzzy deals. Better luck in the next life.Ā Whatās that, you donāt need a membership to buy online? Aw naw!

I discovered this stuff in Morgan Krantzās medicine cabinet while we were writing the screenplay for Body High. It has SPF. Ladies go crazy for Morgan, so I used some to shine my old shoe face. Then I peed in Morganās shampoo. Take that pretty boy.

Coyotes are a problem where I live. They have no fear of humans because weāre 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 isnāt 100% effective as a coyote deterrent but it works better than Morganās shampoo. Plus itās an aphrodisiac.

Ancient Egyptians believed that once you die your soul makes a leap into this spot in the heavens. There you must pass a series of tests before gaining entry into the afterlife. New Yearās Eve 2020, I smoked DMT in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida and tried to astral project myself to the nebula. Luckily, I went somewhere else. To find the Orion Nebula in the night sky look to the constellation of Orion, below his belt, at a cluster of light some say is his sword but looks like his penis.

This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, āHuman beings are a species with amnesia.ā 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. Iām a natural born skeptic, but Iāve read several of Hancockās books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists havenāt, or canāt, sufficiently answer.Ā Ā Sometimes I wonder why Iām so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion Iāve come to is that they calm me by making my own problemsāfinishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, deathāfeel less significant.
