WHO ‘GON STOP YOU HUH?

My first time doing a muscle-up! Some tips: The swing is very essential. I use a ‘suicide grip’ (thumbs over the bar, not gripping the bar). I practiced on a smaller chin-up bar first, …

2001– the ultimate film of all-time:
I just shot the cinema for NONFUTURE, and learned a lot. I wanted to share some of my personal lessons:

Assuming that we will now live in a post-monetary society, where money doesn’t really do us much, then begs the question: Why work?

Wisdom means to be “wiseâ€. And to be wise is to see.
Dear friend, I hope you’re well. I wanted to use this chance for me to share some of my personal thoughts about COVID-19.
To assert your opinion is to be alive:
What does it mean to educate? To lead, guide, and drive (‘ducere‘ in Latin).
An example intro to how to use iBooks Author for Mac to make your own e-book PDF:
Your mind can move matter. Of course, you must direct your hand and body to take matter, mould it, transform it, transfigure it, and subjugate it to your will!
When in doubt, walk more through nature!
AREN’T you so glad to be alive? We currently have the privilege to live THOUGH history. Many of us never get the privilege.
You don’t gotta do as I do, but let me explain why I am doing what I am doing:
Many us are patiently waiting for things to go back to the way things used to be. But should we? I say not.
ATTACK REALITY! You’re a fighter, a soldier. You’re dark and deep. Don’t sit back and cower in fear. No — ATTACK HEAD-ON!
Why am I so un-feeling towards the suffering of others and myself? Perhaps the consequence of my hard knock life:
BECOME MORE RELENTLESS, RUTHLESS, AND ATTACK MORE IN LIFE!

If you’re stuck at home, know you can create art from the convenience and comfort of your own (cozy) home!
OUR NEW APPROACH: The ultimate hybrid of both spartan AND stoic.
I still have fear like any normal human being. But I think I fear LESS than others. How and why? Some thoughts:
Right now is your opportunity to test your strength!
When you’re angry, not sure what to say– silence is golden.
My thought on the pandemic right now — The ultimate downside which is spreading isn’t death and disease, but fear.
To become more intelligent, decide what to become ignorant towards.
Do we try to predict the future for the hope of gain, or to off-set fear?
I love the pain of existence!
THE BEST LIFE IS THE MAXIMALLY DANGEROUS LIFE (WITHOUT DYING).
YOU GOT THE POWER. You got the power to complain whine and moan, or you got the power to take your steel and make your own throne. This is your Rome and Romulus ain’t …
IN LIFE YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO OPT TO BE STRONG OR WEAK.
MATRIX — one of my favorite philosophical films of all-time.
