hello & welcome to my email newsletter:

~ so sit back, relax & happy surfing ~

the cool stuff!

sounds for your ears

Immaterial by SOPHIE: aka the perfect song if you need to move quickly.

LOST MY MIND by Elle Duhé: a good song for a bad day.

Rocket Man by Elton John (Young Thug Remix): the new national anthem!

something to watch

My Mom’s Motorcycle (5 minutes)

a roundabout story of what leads to true fulfillment. sorry mom if you’re reading this, but i’m still gonna buy a motorcycle.

“people need real things, they need to connect with reality and i grew up in a time that’s filled with fake realities.”

some thing(s) to read

Tyler the Creator Interview (8 minute read)
TYLER by Mattieu Venot.png

this reminded me of how awesome Tyler really is. (yes, we are totally on a first-name basis.) he manages to find success in anything and everything that he puts his mind to, the sign of a true polymath!

as an added bonus, sprinkled throughout the interview are photos of Tyler by architectural photographer Matthieu Venot, who had previously never took portraits professionally.

additional cool tidbit of information: Tyler told Venot to just shoot him as if he were a building.

Altered States (15 minute read)

this is a piece by the late neuroscientist Oliver Sacks about his use of drugs and how it impacted the overall trajectory of his career. something i kept thinking about when reading this was how odd it was to hear an ultra smart guy talking about how he used drugs as a tool to utilize different parts of his cognition!

“To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation; we need to see over-all patterns in our lives.” -Oliver Sacks

“wise words”

“Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.” -Arnold H. Glasow

i liked this quote because i have such an issue with turning my ideas into actions, with this newsletter i’m trying to break that curse! maybe you could do the same, or not.

something to waste your money on

Pocket Casts (App $3.99)

if you listen to a lot of podcasts i’d highly recommend buying this app instead of using the normal Podcasts app. i’ve been using Pocket Casts for a few months now and can’t say enough good things about it!

my fav features:

  • speed up / slow down audio

  • eliminate silence in conversations to save time

  • track listening stats

  • web browser (add on for $9) that allows you to sync up your listening on both your laptop and phone

cya in a month…
