In light of (quite a few) requests for daily postings, here is our first newsletter!
Weather:
This “spring” has been rather cold, but I have a feeling the May flowers are just yearning to flourish. Major winds yesterday almost blew me over (186 lbs), which felt random.
Politics:
Harvard did not give into demands placed on them by the federal government, leading to a halt in their funding. I find this to be exceptional of them, morally speaking. They went ahead and changed their website (https://www.harvard.edu/) cover page to include information about the different programs and inventions their students partake in to make the world a better place (example: working on mobility for stroke victims). I wish other organizations would follow in Harvard’s footsteps, though it seems clearer everyday that these companies would rather pay out millions to the Trump administration so that they may be in his good graces (i.e. NBC, law firms, facebook, apple, etc.). When he’s gone, what will they do? will they crawl back to silicon valley? or settle down in the bowels of texas until the next orange one emerges?
Sports:
What are sports? just kidding.
Basketball: the warriors won last night. I don’t really like basketball as much as i used to. I would look to the Celtics head coach as a prime example of what went wrong for the NBA. another detestable factor is the players like Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler who abuse teams and hop around the league. With that said, teams abuse the hell out of their players, so it’s like why even watch any of that defenseless mess anymore, yah know?
[Also] – I am 95% sure that the NBA paid the Mavericks big bucks to get them to trade their white knight to the lake show. someone called the NBA “WWE” once, which makes more and more sense to me every day.
Hockey: The Washington Capitals beat the Islanders last night. They are playing against the penguins tomorrow, should be a righteous matchup between the two of greatest players to ever cross the ice.
Personal News:
I quit intaking THC this week, which unironically lined up perfectly with 4/20. I have never actually celebrated 4/20, at least not since all my friends left my life, so I’m not hung up on missing out on the festivities. As it turns out, i was marijuana dependent to a great degree, as i am discovering via horrid withdrawal symptoms. It’s something I have to work through, but it feels worth it considering it has had such a negative impact on me from not smoking for just a few days. I also noticed nature more clearly (so pretty!), my short term memory is staggeringly better, I think and speak much more clearly, I’m more excited than ever to work on my creative endeavors, and even more excited to see what the future has in store for me! 🙂 i will miss weed very much, but it has been a solid 11 years of abusing myself with overt amounts of THC, so it’s definitely time for a change in my life.
That’s all we got for now! feel free to comment requests for topics! I’ll gladly cover anything if it’s gnarly <3
