Hard not to look like an asshole when you whip this out in public. But who cares! It’s a classic for a reason. Whitman’s prose flows gentle, like floating beachgrass on bright ocean waves. Or whatever.

ANYTHING by whitman but ESPECIALLY song of myself (long but worth it, the final part is so good), crossing brooklyn ferry, hours continuing long, and the untold want. oh and also the love song of j alfred prufrock by by t.s. eliot is NOT overrated and is in fact THAT GOOD

first poem i loved and kept with me as a ripe 7th grader. read over and over to the point where it plays in my head, little things will remind me of it - foggy nights in the city or the ocean in winter or pondering my own mortality - and lines come flowing back
others stuck in my noggin include style by charles bukowski and the sunflower sutra by allen ginsberg. at this point i can probably recite a good number of billy collins works bc ive listened to the recorded album "the best cigarette" approximately 500 times

Not just for dads! Informative and soothing. So many subjects and typically feature a wide range of perspectives. Long live PBS.

Arguably the most consistent way to hang out with friends at least once a week. So many venues have them. Activity! Camaraderie! And you usually learn something.
Thursday is the best night for this, I think. Gives you something to look forward to other than the weekend.

Wim Wenders’ existentialist odyssey. Lots of big questions and ideas and themes. Everyone should watch once.
