My friend Alex Bienstock and I based our entire body of work and lifestyle on sucking down some Stubbs. There was no causality behind it at all, just magic. You don’t need a reason, just telepathic singularity. But now we’ve moved on to NONBBQ, because it became too much of a signifying subject. I drink this out of the bottle when I get stressed out. You can enter the Nubased by sucking down some BBQ sauce down by the river. I highly suggest people try doing this at least once to see if it’s something they might be into.

Speaking of my favorite BBQ-y honey mustard… This is not your average honey mustard -- not the mild little peel-off top tangy packets you get from the drive-thru. This is a smokey honey mustard that belongs lathered on chicken wings before they hit the grill, or even spread on a sandwich paired with that pastrami turkey. A couple weeks ago I copped a jar and its already half drained. I also bought a jar of the BBQ sauce from “Blues Hog”, but haven’t even cracked that seal yet.

I love living in Texas. I get that maybe it doesn’t have the best reputation as a place for “creatives”, but I think the distance can be very beneficial. I like the open sky, lakes, bbq, and the people I’ve met here. What's that Leonardo DaVinci quote “ Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up”. I grew up near the pacific ocean and always disliked the beach. It always felt sad to me for some reason. A lot of people here who just kind of do their own thing. The pressure from places that demand explanations, discourse, “a reason for why you do things”, I think leaving that mostly behind has helped a lot personally.

I got this book at the Museum of Jurassic Technology when I was 19. It was written by a homeless MIT grad who would staple pamphlets of prose philosophy around UCLA in the 90’s. It’s kind of a precursor to a lot of what you see on twitter these days, schizoposting, etc. I’ve always been inspired by guys like this, another interesting guy was Shea Zellweger. If you’re like me you sometimes get an impulse to exclude yourself from group activities, alienate yourself, etc. I like how committed he was to writing and posting this stuff.

This has helped me a lot. Data (thoughts, emotions, sensations) can be very overwhelming. Practicing/reading this has helped me not get too invested in the sensations, which is kinda like stroking a snake, the head and the tail both lead to being bitten.
