Once, I was in LA and rented a car from Avis. While I had the car, I got Covid. This was in 2021 so Covid rules were still quite strict. I had to quarantine and couldnât return the car. I called them and offered for a friend to return the car for me but they insisted they had to come tow it and decontaminate it. The reason I was in LA was for our first big LA party, which I had been planning for a long time, and it was my first time getting Covid, so it was already a very stressful situation. They insisted thatâs all they could do and I didnât need to worry. Two months later they called me and said they were just getting the car back after 2 months so they had to charge me thousands of dollars. I told them that they had the car towed two months prior and they told me I was lying and that I had kept the car for two months, even though I was no longer even in LA. After two days on the phone arguing with people, I kept getting transferred to other people and all of them insisted I was lying about the whole situation and that I had the car this entire time, which didnât make any sense. I eventually reported the charge of thousands of dollars as fraud and closed the credit card. I then took out a new credit card, and a little while later, they somehow managed to charge the new card thousands of dollars again. I donât even understand how thatâs possible. It took weeks of arguing on the phone with them and eventually the charge just disappeared, even though everyone I talked to this second time around still implied I was lying up until the bitter end and never backed down. By the time the saga was finally over, it was months after my trip to LA. I was so angry about it I swore to myself right then and there that I would find a way to air out this petty grievance in a public forum, and inspire the masses to take a stand and never rent from Avis. When Tyler asked me to do another Perfectly Imperfect, this was the first thing my mind went to. If you really want to help my cause, every time you see an Avis Car Rental at an airport or whatever go up to the desk and say you will never rent a car from them because of Curtis Everett Pawley.

Especially late at night, but it works during the day too. I think because youâre not on the move but youâre also not at a destination or at home. Itâs kind of like the ultimate in-between state. Thereâs something very romantic about it to me, and I like other âin-betweenâ settings for the same reason, like airports and rest stops. I think itâs because your thoughts appear more naked to you when you donât have something familiar around you to latch on to. And you also arenât in a position to take any kind of action at the present moment, so itâs easier to confront your thoughts. Thereâs a book called Non-Places: An Introduction to Super-Modernity by Marc AugĂ© that kinda speaks on this. So Iâll recommend that too.

Randonautica is an app that generates a âquantumly randomâ point on a map which you go to. Youâre supposed to set an intention, however vague you want, while it generates the point and see what you discover with regards to that intention on the way to the point and then at the point itself. Then you can set another point from the first point and keep this process going as long as you want. I guess it was a thing on TikTok for a while but I swear it isnât corny. I did it by myself out of curiosity and had a really crazy experience thatâs too complicated to explain. No one I told seemed phased by it until I forced my friends to do it when we were in London and we had an equally crazy experience. I know itâs annoying that Iâm not giving details but trust me, itâs too complicated to explain. But we found something so related to our intention that kinda freaked out. I love the idea of playing with reality, becoming hyper-aware of your environment, and seeing whatâs around you in a different light. Even beyond the eerie metaphysical element, itâs a really interesting way to explore your environment.
