There’s something quite surreal about standing there exchanging blows, kicks, knees and elbows with an utterly complete stranger on a random weekday evening.
I’ve found muay thai useful for keeping my mind in check, even though it sometimes makes your body feel like it's been in a minor car crash.

Find a legit gym and have the most fun you've ever had in your life. Not only does it teach you how to be a badass but it also teaches you that you're not as badass as you thought you were. It orients you more objectively than lifting weights and flexing in the mirror does. Plus you don't have to use your words anymore

Incredible workout. Way more badass than your run-of-the-mill gym kickboxing class. The pop from hitting/kicking the pads is sooo satisfying. Great confidence boost even if you’re bad at it (like I am). Makes you feel like you can beat up anybody!

Not only will they prepare you for the revolution, they are fun and get the brain in order! I used to do Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, and kickboxing, and I was always looking forward to classes! Even if you don’t spar with people, it’s a great way to mentally compete with yourself!

Unlike chess, which can leave you at the mercy of a 45 minute defeat with only your insufficient brain power to blame, backgammon has a nice and light pace to it. Rolling dice feels good and you can put the blame on them in hindsight.
I think board games like that are a great way to sit and spend time with people and be in each other's presence.

Probably the number one domestic activity I fantasize about when I’m on tour. There’s a groundedness to it that feels like the antithesis of road life. Cooking is often the first thing I do upon returning home.

One of the albums that I’ve listened to the most. I remember many years ago being on acid watching the sun rise from my window and listening to Scott 3 feeling like I was riding through every emotion on the record to the furthest possible extremes, it was overwhelming and magnificent. When it was over I looked at myself in the mirror and saw I had become an old man.
