ok now that i’ve started talking about the lemon twigs, i HAVE to mention this video. like it doesn’t matter how many times i’ve seen it, it will always leave me feeling mind blown. i can’t even put it into words. holy moly i turn into an ipad baby for the last minute and 30 secs. mouth hanging wide open, eyes unblinking, drool dripping, ears tuning out any outside noise - i lock IN.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vum5Dex9esA definitely not the first video i ever watched on YouTube, but it's one of the first ones i can remember. my friends and i were obsessed with singing this in the back of their mom's van during elementary school, and i found a paper in one of my old school folders where i had written out the lyrics so we could remember them. to this day, i am still chasing the feeling that the friends making this video must have had. CORE MEMORY !!
My goal is to be the happiest old man I can be, and thinking this way also makes me take better care of my body. If I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself what will be a cooler story to tell grandkids, and that seems to steer me in the right direction.
