I don't feel much like I have a sense of purpose unless I have a good piece of mail coming my way. Sometimes now I even accept PR offers for things I only vaguely am interested in just for the thrill of opening a box. It's actually maybe sort of a bad thing, though I let nothing go to waste. Emails fulfill this urge to an extent, too. I check my emails more than any other app.
way besides having one of my favorite album covers … it set the bar for what I “wanted a band to sound like” in that era of music … I still listen to the whole thing often.
