Espresso liquor + tonic

I don’t know why this isn’t a more popular beverage, but a cold brew alcoholic splash into a nice glass of tonic will swiftly usurp the place in your mouth’s heart that’s been hitherto reserved for espresso martinis and/or Diet Coke.

Strictly Espresso Drinks

I'm partial to an Espresso Tonic (espresso in tonic water with lemon and simple syrup) or a Lemonade Americano (two shots of espresso in a lemonade), but just in general I love Americanos (espresso in hot water), Red Eyes (espresso in black coffee), Black Eyes (four shots of espresso in black coffee), Espresso Martinis - just any drink that has espresso but no dairy element. Call it "caffeine-maxing" or whatever, but that is my preferred way to drink coffee when I can go somewhere fun.
Shout out Amherst Coffee in Amherst, Massachusetts, you'll always be my favorite!

going to monster jam

I grew up spending a lot of time at bluegrass festivals and I remember being like 8 years old at some fairground in Indiana and throwing a baseball around with this kid who eventually invited me back to his RV to watch a monster truck rally on this tiny TV with rabbit ears. It was so so sick but for whatever reason I never really realized that I could just go to one in real life until recently when I saw an ad for Monster Jam at Barclays Center. Went with Al and it was high-key the sickest thing I’ve ever seen in an arena. Grave Digger flipped over and caught on fire and we ate snow cones. Two of the drivers were a father and son, the son won the whole night. I followed all 8 drivers on instagram the second I got home. Security confiscated a lighter I’d managed to not lose for like 6 months which was a drag but 100% worth it. I wish I’d bought more merch.

watching videos of old men building things out of wood and talking about it

I swear to god nothing will brute force me into relaxation faster than watching some youtube video of an old man building something in his garage that he’s built 100 times before. I don’t care if it’s a chair or a guitar or if he’s whittling. I have always been so bad at making things with my hands so maybe that’s part of the appeal but listening to someone ramble/reminisce/explain in an experienced and informed way about their craft while making something beautiful gets my immediate focus every time. They don’t have to be men but they do have to be old and it helps if they seem like they would be mad grumpy if they weren’t thoroughly disarmed by their passion for creation.

hollow moon lore etc.

I’m casually big into space conspiracy / fringe science stuff (I don’t know anything I just love good lore) - Goddamn the moon is crazy. That shit rings like a bell anytime we crash anything into it. The craters on it are all of relatively uniform depth regardless of diameter. The dust on the surface is older than the rock underneath. It regulates the tides and seasons. It’s placed perfectly so we can experience eclipses - the probability of that being the case is so so so low - there’s no other moon/planet relationship we know of where that’s the case. There’s plenty of mythology that references times before the moon when weather patterns were unstable and a source of constant chaos. Some say it was put there to help stabilize the planet so we could continue to evolve ;) again I do not know jack shit about how anything actually works but mannnn is there some quality moon lore out there to dive into, cool af that something with such a huge effect on our lives is such a mystery, endless fun rabbit holes.
