leisurely reading >>>

I didn’t think I would be tempted by the god forsaken Shakespeare and Co. I always go to bookstores (libraries as the French say) and buy books I never read, but today was just too good to pass up. Hoping I actually finish the book I got (Giovanni’s Room) because it’s gotten so much praise, I love Baldwin, and it’s so short. It would be a shame if I didn’t finish it actually. So yes, my recommendation is to go outside and read a new book. My goal is to ready 10 more leisure books before I turn 21. Idk if that’ll happen though.

books

If you start reading again, you'll feel better. If you read in an omnivorous and far flung manner your days will get better. You will have more to say and more to think about. You can become an evangelical for reading from a place of pure desire and care. Unusual books contain unusual knowledge. I will post books as an act of human class solidarity. Most posts will include a link to a digital copy, but you will love going to the library. We are lucky to get to hold books in our hands.

understand that ice spice is a PHILOSOPHER

She is asking deep and insightful questions. Rhetorical in nature they force us, the audience, to look inward. Illustrating a point. Prompting contemplation. and Stimulating critical thinking. “You thought I was feelin you?” “You think you the shit, bitch? You not even the fart” “You the baddest, who badder than you? Look at my friend like who better than we?” Munch on that.

S.E.C on a blueberry bagel

Great food encapsulates balance. Sweet and savory is a tried and true favorite balance amongst many a foodie. Do yourself a favor. Next time you wake up for a morning walk and a coffee and you need some protein and carbs to kickstart your metabolism and hold you over till a late lunch, ask the Ocky for a “Sausage Egg & Cheese, on a Blueberry Bagel.” Fret not the sideways glances, perplexed reactions, and dismissive comments from the homies. They don’t know what they don’t know. And what they don’t know is that this is the pinnacle of bagel orders. If you really wanna do sumn special, take that shit home and hit it with some Sriracha. tre magnifique

Songwriting: hitting the Triangle every 6 seconds in a song

Go listen to Ushers’ “Yeah!” featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, and you’ll get the picture. Every 6 seconds. The entire song. Song is 105 beats per minute. Playtime is 4:10. I didn’t count it, but maths says that’s like 41.7 hits from the triangle. Now, imagine that song without the triangle. Not. The. Same. Shout out idiophone percussion instruments.
