034: Singing Ditties With John

Two pop-punk kids reminisce about seminal groups, both hard and soft. Times have changed since the year of Farley's death and Dude Ranch, surely for the benefit of Pete Davidson if not for the fans of Tom DeLonge. If you don't get the grade you deserve, but instead get a better one, Is that okay? There's a lesson in objectivity vs subjectivity here and what might happen when you feign wisdom. Don't forget to tell yourself that you're the boss every once in a while, even if it's only when you're feeling it.

008: Doing Less To Do More

Putting the remote down is a good first step towards flexing your creative muscles. Simplified, remove convenience where it doesn’t belong. Delete. Your. Apps. Bad writers could benefit from reading something other than Twitter. Take action on your aspirations. Take an aspirin after your actions. Just relax.
