i have been trying to let go of my own personal contamination framework, which is embedded in most of my thinking... but truly i think that legacy is not controllable or preservable; both controlling and preserving would be retrospective actions and so impossible by nature.. Which is scary but also freeing. nothing will be "tainted" bc nothing is "pure" and all is redeemable and ongoing until death when it becomes unchangeable or at least out of your personal control, as long as you act with reasonable discretion and goodness

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?

revisited this on an earlier stretch of the northeast corridor... i recommend listening to math rock in transit. there is something about the internetted and regular rhythms that when cumulative over the course of a song/album will lead to the listener being moved and “opened”. it is maybe the closest music feels to pure information. love it in tandem with transit-windowed visual information, sound and image feel “encoded” in 2 simultaneous and meaningful streams. while listening today i thought the words “sleepy bloom” about how it felt coming into my brain

this is a totally inward and wordless thing i find myself doing on transit (in periods when i am confused about myself). An anticipatory heterosexual practice and preparatory exercise in terms of returning to new york. where there is daily opportunity for this. I am recommending this while in the bus bathroom which is a mobile and speckled portapotty essentially. This “passes the time”

you can see on one side the sunset in one large beautiful glow backing the city image , and on the other side you can also see the apposite roseate light in lozenges against the beams of the bridge. looking back and forth is pleasant, and easy if seated perpendicular to the walls of the train. and soon after getting off the train to meet adrian in chinatown you will no longer remember seeing this and being happy until the next morning when on the N train slightly post-sunrise reforming the association from a similar experience on the same bridge
