You Don’t Need Permission
Poser https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug04_Post.mp4 Way back in high school, I dabbled a bit in “punk.” I went to see a few bands. I started listening to some punk records. Really loudly in my room to piss off my parents. But one opening line of a Sex Pistols song stuck with me. It […]
Release Your Inner Conqueror
Imaginary Rope https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug03_Post.mp4 You’ve probably heard the story of the elephant. The one where they tied up an elephant when he was a kid.

Come Again? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug02_Post.mp4 Once I was talking to a friend of mine. This guy was Japanese, but pretty fluent in English.

Solve Problems While You Sleep
Dreams To Money https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July29_Post.mp4 Once upon a time there was a woman. She had a horrible dream. Some monster that was not dead, not alive.

Dream Yourself A Fortune
What To Do? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July28_Post.mp4 Most people have lazy brains. Which is fine. If every single human wanted to be in charge, nobody would have evolved. Some people create, some people build, and most people watch. At the same time, every single thing we have was once an idea in somebody’s brain. […]
The Three Parts Of You
All Aboard https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July27_Post.mp4 Plenty of movies have very specific archetypes. There are twelve basic archetypes you’ll find in most movies, books, stories, legends.
