Skateboarding is still the best thing I’ve ever decided to do. It is the peak of my existence. All I want to do is chill, skate, and be outside. I truly can not fathom that I actually skateboard, though. I never plan to learn any tricks, really. Particularly because I wear canvas shoes as a […]

fear and loathing in las vegas
Fear and Loathing reads to me like the most extreme, and probably effective, anti-drug PSA I’ve ever read. The problem is, I know that if I had come across this seven years ago, I would’ve thought this was the manifesto for living. Back when I was a professional writer, this life of jumping from destructive […]
i started skateboarding.
I bought a skateboard last week. Let’s talk about how this all got started… Quarantine has been a really interesting time to think about the life we want to live afterwards. I’ve been getting a lot of takeout from my local spots, and since that’s the only times I’m outside all week, these sessions feel […]
favorite song of 2016
Deep down, I am basic. I despise Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as a film and I think Karan Johar is the most toxic person in the entire industry. His films have weird amounts of male entitlement, he has cranked the nepotism lever up to 11, and he’s a bad person. But, like everyone else on […]
humko deewana kar gaye (2006)
I have watched the little known, critically mediocre, average box office, and immensely forgettable Humko Dewaana Kar Gaye 4 times this year. This is the only Indian film that I think has never been off of Netflix. I don’t know why. Somewhere in Netflix, it will show that since my family and I got Netflix […]
my new workout routine in quarantine
Right before quarantine started, I had just started going to my (free, at work) gym three times a week. I started doing /r/bodyweightfitness’s recommended routine. This was pretty good. I relied heavily on the TRX suspension system in order to do assisted push-ups, pull-ups, and rows, though. As we moved into lockdown, I thought it […]
ultimate spider-man (#1-27)
I just finished the first four story arcs of the Ultimate Spider-Man comic series. I was surprised to find out that I’m 20% done with the entire run. I’ve only been reading it for ~20 minutes (1 issue) a day, so since it’s a 10 year run, I got through 2 years of comics in […]
get a financial life
All personal finance books are bad. This one is written with clearer language than most, and it gives some direction. But, it still gives too much. It still doesn’t grab me by the horns and say to DO THIS. It’s got some good explanations that helped me, so it was worth a read. But, if […]
black sheep (brie larson version)
The Clash at Demonhead is my favorite band.
favorite song of 2015
I love Himesh Reshammiya. I was a baby when the glory days of the Hello Brother and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge soundtracks came out. I was a kid when the chart-topping brilliance of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and Afsana Bana Ke came out. People have underestimated his newer work, but his compositions are still brilliant and […]
