(3)To help other people at all times;
(4)To keep myself physically strong, (5)mentally awake and (6)morally straight.

All these questions are subject to change i get that but this is ridiculously ephemeral so LATELY (lately): Brooklyn, how amazingly comfortable life has gotten for me in miami and how uneasy that makes me and why, that the brain is just another organ like the stomach, the endocrine system, how car and soda companies and the new aristocracy of hedge fund managers and real estate moguls have essentially replaced the church and the old aristocracy as the primary patrons of the arts, my girl cat is adorable but would probably eat me if she was bigger, practical applications for the robotics stuff i'm learning for the art i'm working on right now, historical cycles of violence, how humans should eat raw food like all the other animals even though i don't live by that, juicing, Trying to clear my mind not think about anything and meditate every day though i don't always accomplish that either, that i'm ridiculous

working
