Learning Rhythm https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug16_Post.mp4 One time, way back in college, I took a jazz appreciation class. I knew nothing about music, at all, at the time.

The Master Strategy of Time
Nothing Makes Sense https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug10_Post.mp4 Some things seem to be paradoxes on the surface.

Thrive On Clown Show Planet
Rulers and Workers https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug09_Post.mp4 One of my favorite lines is from an old Clint Eastwood movie. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

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.
