Think about everything

Apple TV show ad — Dark matter sounds like something i would not think about. The cosmos, totally, but not ‘dark matter’.

37-second video: 2024 Pre-Classic. Bowerman Mile final 200 meters. Thinking about how difficult it is to defeat Norway’s Jacob Ingebretson.

florida creek from a plane — i think about the food chain, drought, floods, danger, pioneers, survival.

24-second video: Baltimore suburbs. i think about this place back when it was in its prime, what happened, why, and this place’s future. Then i transfer that thought-process to everything i see, including myself.

The unexamined mindscape is not worth carrying through life.
dad

Explore your thoughts.

Think about everything.

Find and improve your system that is fun, exciting, and eventually, comprehensive.

Obviously you are human. Much will remain unknown.

Accept it.

Simply focus on what brings you joy, keeps you healthy, harms no one, and is something worth sharing with others.

Insist on doing it

Do what makes you happiest.
dad

If i never try anything, i never learn anything.

If i never take a risk, i stay where i am.

A guaranteed no

Calendly screen — Reflecting on next week’s trip to Nova Scotia.

The answer to every unasked question is no.
dad

Blinding flash of the obvious, if you don’t ask the answer is no.

Would you like to go to the movies with me?

It’s an automatic no if you do not ask.

Would you like to live with a perpetual growth-mindset?

It’s an automatic no if you do not ask.

Moral of the story…

Ask.

Happy 2024 and 2025

huge carnival tent — Step one, install tent.

Welcome each new year, yet do not expect it to change your life.
dad

Change.

We spend our life adapting to three types of change:

Change we see coming
Change we never see coming
Change we wish to create

So today is the start of Memorial Day weekend (2024).

It is also New Year’s Day 2025 (as this finally publishes 7+ months after i write it).

So weird.

So fun.

So at peace.

So content.

As of today, i wouldn’t change the way i write.

Happy New Year.
