Comedy is the highest art. Despite holding that belief, Iām compulsive with puns and dad jokes. I must get it from my mom⦠also, side note, the best meme account nobody knows about is @the_imperial_palace
a good amount of my day to day lexicon is just me quoting my dad. every time someone says they love me? "what's not to love." instead of saying something is good, you just say "strong." i even refer to myself in the third person the way he does when asking for things, such as saying "big glass of water for belly?" (his nickname for me), even when i am just getting my own water. i did also inherit his poor communication skills and lack of vulnerability, but sometimes i feel like thats okay since i love him so much despite these things
Car brands forgot how to make a beautiful car. What gives? The new tech is great functionally, but the forms suck, they are all too damn slick or showy or bubbly. I really can't find a modern car or truck that looks good. I donāt understand it. There are endless beautiful old cars. I especially love the boxy old jeep XJs (pre 2001), and old range rover classics (pre 1996). The best new car Iāve seen is the one new model of the Toyota Land Cruiser, you of course canāt get in the US. On a recent trip to Tokyo, I fell in love with the old sedan taxis, mainly the Toyota Century (pre 2017), incredible. Iād love to design a car one day.
Turns out nature is cool. Especially with a big dog who loves to swim and smell dirt. Every summer I find great little hidden swimming holes and hikes and stuff not on google. Itās really well designed too. Go find a hole and take a hike.Ā
Thereās something mystical about the game. Itās a deep puzzle with ancient roots, and an international language of sorts. Itās simple and complex. Iāāve been destroyed by 7 year olds, people who likely canāt spell the word āFebruaryā. In New York we're spoiled with great chess: Chess Forum on Thompson St - a sacred shop to buy boards, great players in Washington Square Park you can play anytime for 5 bucks, (ask for my favorite guy, David). But perhaps my favorite place to play in NYC is the Marshall Chess Club, founded 1915, occupying an entire townhouse on West 10th and 5th Ave, where Duchamp would play. Then thereās the mind boggling Shannon Number, 10^120, the number of unique chess games. This number is so large, it exceeds the number of atoms in the universe, 10^80. There are more possible chess games than atoms in the universe. Unreal.Ā
