Lots of work... but no pep talk needed

Salut ——> This is the true angle.... or at least the one that I buy. Get rich quick sounds great for about a minute. But I've lived long enough to grasp that what comes unearned feels unsatisfactory. My mission (for now) is to grow my list. And if I'm honest, I don't really know how to do it... A lot of the advice out there seems kinda gay to me.... by gay I don't mean homo. I just mean that it gives me the ick. And gay is a way better word than ick. What's most icky (lol) is that nearly all the advice is selling some dream. What will happen *when* you get the list or the following or whatever. I was a recruiter for ten years. I must have interviewed thousands of people about their work. Taking a job "for the money" nearly always backfires. Same for prestige titles. And this is the same thing as buying the dream. ... 'cause if you need a pep talk to get out of bed in the morning you're ngmi. So what I've bought instead is the work. Because I find it interesting. It's work I can't stop my mind playing over as I'm walking or making dinner. A never ending and evolving Rubik's Cube. Even this post is not clear enough... yet. sling sling AIDAN100 |

Salut ——> The N word, in this case, doesn’t end in R. Nor does it end in A… for the hip hops heads. This is a different word entirely. See, God has died. And it’s not for the first time. In fact, God has died and been born again many times. He is, like the rest of us, a part of the world of perpetual birth and death and birth again. Some may call this reincarnation. But…. there is often a gap. A gap between death and the start of life again. We’re in a gap now. The ancient world, and even...
Salut ——> Short form is brain rot. You know it, I know it... everybody knows it. Ever spiralled in the loop yaself? I have. Youtube short form oblivion. X reels annihilation... or whatever they're called. I wake myself out inception style. Except.... I'm not Leo in a saville row suit. Instead I feel like I just waltzed in and caught myself jerking off. It's fuckin embarrassing. So, I don't keep social media on my phone. I don't keep junk food in my apartment.... because it helps keep my diet...
Salut ——> A few weeks ago I made a decision to start publishing my writing online. I was in love (no homo) with email list guys like Ben Settle and Ian Stanley. (Do they hate each other?) So I had to write daily emails. And the easiest way seemed like Substack. I even bought my own domain. In my mind, I kind of knew it was a half job. I’d have to move it somewhere else eventually. But I’d barnstormed in and got moving before thinking too much. Well after 5 weeks I’ve left Substack. My new...
