his mom: well we have the box.
his dad: yes, but it doesn’t record.

i really enjoy walking.
especially when it’s cold. bitter. windy. it’s a reminder that i can feel. that i am. a ten minutes or so every morning and afternoon that no one else is affecting my life. or my thoughts. the only pause is waiting at MLK. and even that is down to a scientific timing. walking is the only time i truly get to myself, no matter how frequently i am alone. for whatever reason, i am...

a few other wins for vegetarianism:
i spoke with the most judgemental, condescending girl in the office about my choices the other day, today for lunch she had a salad, no meat.
i went to the grocery store with a favorite from cd/game today, who informed me of his new year’s resolution: as long as he can go without eating meat and buying used things.
feels like im doing good for the world. lesser meat consumption and...

The Methusela Foundation. as far as i can figure, from the past few days of deriving from their vaguely worded website, it’s a bunch of people who are sincerely afraid of no longer living.
“The Methuselah Foundation is a non-profit medical charity dedicated to extending healthy human life through proven programs supported by people like...
