Take Me Back to India

Okay ok, I’ll admit that I was a little freaked out by India. Let’s just admit that it is a chaotic and daunting place to be wandering alone with limited cell phone coverage.

Anyways, now that I am back safe at home, naturally I have the strong desire to go back there, jump into a sketchy rickshaw, take a ride around town, or out as far as I can go. I guess travel can be a drug like that.

I often wonder what it would be like to live in a country like that. I expect that any romantic ideas I may have would be quickly shattered and dissolved by a grim reality, but one still can’t help but wonder. Especially if I could be teaching kids fun stuff, it was quite inspiring to see other people doing that…

Link City

My go-to blog sites are as follows:

• kottke.org – hodgepodge of interesting tidbits from the web

• sivers.org/book – concise notes on so many great reads, I have to                  take my time digesting each post and take mini-notes on his notes, lol

• fourhourworkweek.com/blog – What can I say? Tim Ferriss is just a beast…  An intelligent, analytical, blood testing madman. Travel, work, gear, love.. all manner of men’s health discussed.

 

What to Watch Unlegally on the Web

Last Man on Earth – A little predictable and fast paced, but imaginative and extremely funny nonetheless.

I don’t have a link at the moment =(

Man Seeking Woman – Very awkward when a show so closely mirrors your own life, but damn is it honest and kooky and hilarious.

Workaholics – This is Citizen Kane for immature dirtbags and alcoholics. I’ve found my calling.

What to Watch on Netflix

Garfunkel and Oates – These chicks are hilarious, cute and musical, all in equal parts. ❤ ❤ ❤ (boner)

Black Mirror – Skip the first episode, the remaining 5 are amazing.

The Warriors – Take it with a grain of salt for its age and campyness, but I fucking loved this movie when I was 11.

I Hate Christian Laettner/ Linsanity – If you have any interest in sports/basketball/underdogs/overdogs, you must watch these fucking classics.

My favorite Podcasts – 2015

Here is a list of my current favorite podcasts (no bigshots like TAL, Serial or SYSK):

• Roderick on the Line – John Roderick is a (retired) touring musician from Seattle who is so wise, well traveled and eloquent that I consider him one of my greatest role models.
• The Tim Ferriss Show – Habits… Diet, exercise, focus, meditation… what works. Modern productivity hack-dude Tim Ferriss understands what it takes to be successful, interviews huge people, and asks all the right questions. Fucking props.
• Benjamin Walker’s Theory of Everything – Hard to categorize. Modern, meditative, insightful, clever, wistful, uncanny, emojious, brilliant. halhaohal.
• Strangers – Poignant stories of emotion and  humanity. There are some back episodes of Strangers that made me weep like a 33 year old boy. I am always interested to see what she will come up with next.
• Let’s Drink About It – Toronto and Brooklyn bros. mix up to talk about personal stories and drink recipes. Personally, I could give a shit about the drinks, but these guys are cool.
• Hello from the Magic Tavern – Nerdy as fuck, riffing on a magical dimension of perverts. This is what improv was designed for.
