Anything that requires me to move seems to be a virtuous way to spend my time.

I consider a lot of things as meditation. It’s not just sitting with your eyes closed and humming or whatever… Anything that allows me to clear my head of frivolous matters and think for myself is a good thing. For me it’s walking, biking, skateboarding, lifting, yoga, eating meat, photography, and my new hobby playing Kendama.

Chaos and disorder is a good thing. A life of same old same old is never fun. Striving towards the things that are typically viewed as “dangerous” seems like a good goal.

The goal is to be semi-nomadic? To live in foreign place for one month at a time, once or twice per year seems like something worth striving towards.

Throughout all of my travelling, I now realize that one month is the perfect duration of time to spend in a new place. I’ve experimented with living in new places for 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, and 2 weeks at a time.

I find it silly to bounce around from place to place while traveling. If you go to a new place, just stay put for one month. You get to feel the essence of what it’s like to really live there within a short duration of time. Day trips aren’t necessary while traveling. Just stay put and enjoy where you are in one city at a time.

Hanoi, Vietnam was probably the most peaceful and perfect place to live for one month. I could probably stay there for even longer if I wanted to…

“To be on a journey, often for pleasure or business and with luggage; to go from one place to another.”

Listen to the beautiful organ! If you live in Philadelphia you can find free live music twice per day at the Wanamaker Building at 12:30PM or 5:30PM. You can also just hang outside of the Hard Rock Cafe and listen to whatever they are playing. Performances by drummers and guitarists outside of the Reading Terminal Market. Trumpets and Flutes in the halls of City Hall or Rittenhouse Square.

Just ask “why” to everything around you. It is one of the greatest questions you can ask…

A concept of God built up through negative statements about his nature. 

Maybe it’s better to decide what you DON’T want to do rather than what you DO want to do?

The new demigods

Life is a video game, be a jester, in praise of child-like fun, etc etc.

You don’t need to own a car to live in Philly. The ultimate luxury is not having things to maintain?

It’s merely a tracking device. Live life on hard mode for the ultimate feeling of freedom and bliss. When you don’t need to refresh your email or respond to anybody, you have won the lottery of life!
