During the last two weeks or so(in no particular order):

  • Interrupted a drug deal to throw out some trash
  • Drug buyers asked if my neighbor and I were on a date…at the dumpster
  • I locked my keys in my car in the middle of Bumfucker Nowhere on a Sunday afternoon
  • I’ve had more disappointingly lukewarm showers than I ever wanted in my entire life
  • The heating in my car broke
  • Got locked out of the house I was supposed to be tending for someone who’s out of town
  • And subsequently spent the night at a slummy hotel with a night attendant who wanted to take a selfie with me
  • I spent half a day sitting on the curb in a McDonald’s parking lot with no car
  • Found a friend’s lost cat by tracking its pawprints in the mud for two and a half hours…at one in the morning
  • Explained my visa situation and why I don’t know when I’m leaving the country approximately 230948203948203 times
  • Had the worst pretzel of my life
  • Randomly ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in close to six years

So that’s what I’ve been doing instead of reblogging crap on here. But on the plus side, I’ve had extremely little to no ennui or depressive moods to speak of!

I die a little inside every time someone says history is boring. History is one long, epic adventure with battles to be fought, royal scandals to be gossiped about, human rights to be protected. It can be comic and tragic, and it exhibits both the very best and the very worst of human nature. History is all about seemingly ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and that is why we all want to be remembered by it.

David Holmes was Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies, but while testing out a flying stunt (famous for being a very dangerous stunt in itself) for Deathly Hallows Part I, he was thrown against a wall, and fractured his neck. The incident left him paralysed for life from the chest down, with only limited movement within his arms and hands. 

Who the fuck cares where you went to school or where you work? The question is: Is everyday experience good, healthy, beautiful? Because I have to tell you, while it might be cool to work for a company like Google, Apple, or The New Yorker, if your job is stupid, stressful and your boss is an asshole, there is nothing good or prestigious about that. While it might seem right to go to a school like Berkeley, if classes are overcrowded and students are nervous, anxious, religious zealots from Orange County, are you sure you want to go there? What’s good about that?

To believe in prestige is to privilege abstract, collective impression over palpable, daily experience. To which I say: fuck prestige. Do what serves your everyday vitality.

Holy cow. This is important.
