A while ago I was watching Nick Offerman aka “Ron Swanson” in an interview talk about making furniture. He actually has a furniture business and acts on the side. Anyways, he was saying that in a consumerist culture people have forgotten that at any point, they can choose to make stuff. That is you don’t have to buy a cheap particle board table. You can actually make an oak table. I’m not that handy. But I decided my evenings were way better spent making mediocre art than watching TV.… Except for Parks and Rec. Long live Ron Swanson, and bye bye little Sebastian.

Set the world on fire everyday,
in all the helpful kind of ways.
Ekpyrosis of the soul is the only way to go...
and you can reinvent yourself whenever you are ready.

Something that has really proven true time and time again is that the best things in life are free. One of my favorite “best things” is taking the extra time to honor, family and great friends. Here’s to you and yours! 🍺

...POLTICAL ANIMALS... A Text and Rock poem on the moral cooperation of the human race... here goes. Socrates explains to the men of Athens that a human being is what happens when an animal is given a soul and if you know that you are capable to care for it and grow it to the full you will King of virtue among the animals— in moral goodness and self-control— a new race of …humanimals. Plato disagrees with his teacher but always respectfully- he features humanity by necessity living together in a city. He says humanity is a political animal— we’re birds of a feather who do life together in a city-state so that our fate rests upon our ability participate. One more idea if you’d rather, Aristotle in turn disagrees with his father and proffers this idea. He offers that humans are a reasoning animal— we are able to think scenarios real and unreal and ask and test and collect and bask in the glory of the sciences and techne— the arts of mastery that come from inquiry. These are all good notions and each one is a potion that if you drink of its cup will show you what’s up— how to be human with a soul we develop, or with one unified soul achieved politically, or thinking our way to divinity— all these envelope a path with sure footing on a deep-space journey. But only one definition can save humanity and its the second of the three— We have to learn life together politically, not in a sense of left and right but in the mystic sense of wrong and right. We are the only animals that talk about justice and think about how to advance as a team if we became unified all under a common dream and each found our purpose and place in the advancement of the entire human race.
