1. I'm bleeding with the new moon, always a powerful state for me to be in
2. I have to thank ya'll for reading this newsletter every week. Especially those who I added without their consent (read: nearly everyone). Hearing from ya'll is always a sweet echo from the universe. I truly appreciate it
3. Consequently, I'd like to send you some mail. No I don't know what it is, but give me your address, and at some point this year i will send you something. Promise.
4. My goal in 2024 is to know less about celebrities.* I'd like to know more about the people around me, and less about people I'll never meet. I'm not that big into celebrity culture**, i think it enevitably becomes a short hand for self-image and representation that is always and enduringly unsatisfying. I find that encourages black and white thinking, and the inability to hold the complicated duality of human being inside narrative structures that require good vs bad.
5. Five things I really like include
a. this breathing exercise video
b. still, roller skating! I may or may not be*** getting recruited into a skate crew. more later.
c. making and eating these matcha cookies.
I don’t think you need the frosting tho.
6. Other goals in 2024 is "no idea is a bad idea" in which i try to execute as many of my ideas as i am capable of doing. I have been blessed/burdened with a very wide antenna for the zeitgeist, what is of interest and nearing possibility of being. When i tune into it I am capable of receiving a lot of ideas. Mostly I'll just blurt these ideas out as a joke, or maybe even half-heartedly pursue, but often they just pass me by, and a few years later I'll see the idea has come to fruition by someone else's hand, such as a hybrid garment/duffle bag, or a reality show about a popular nightclub. Sometimes I'm okay with that, even relieved, if it's an idea I was interested in seeing brought to material, but not necessarily being the person with the stamina or passion to do the work of pulling it from the immaterial to the material.
That said, as profession is a powerful tool of manifestation, and one of the beginning steps of bringing something from the mental into the physical, I am going to try to make as many of the ideas that occur to me, as fast and pleasurably as possible, to whatever level of materialization that I can. No idea is too good or too bad, so expect to see dinosaurpiss.com in the near future.
*That said, Katt williams has made this goal very difficult.
**anymore. i used to write op-eds about pop culture and it was fun, for a while
***I have trust issues around men using friendship as a path to come on to me, so not sure if this guy is being nice and inviting me to his crew, or using it as a cover to come one to me. Lets hope its the latter and I can heal some distrust around men and friendship.
