More Things I Like

More things I like. I am hungover. I drink tequila straight. It can be Patron gold or silver, either is okay. I had met a very wealthy man once, years and years ago, and drank something so wonderful and so fresh and clean, I imagined it must be a $200 bottle or more. I learned later it was just Patron and I can get it from any liquor store anywhere.

And so I drink Patron now, neat. I can drink a lot of it. People think I am drunker than I am because I bibble babble. It is true. I bibble babble. But I bibble babble because I want to be bibble babbling. That is why I got drunk in the first place…to clear my mind.

There is better tequila out there. I like the better tequila more. But I like that I can get Patron anywhere.

Things I like.

“There are no good books these days.” There are a lot of good books. A Visit From the Goon Squad is one of them, you can befriend a whole friend group in Los Angeles and adopt their troubles. You can check out the graphic novel for V For Vendetta and feel sexy. You can read a graphic novel about the Holocaust (Maus) and feel sad.

“If I read books there isn’t anybody to talk to people about them.” So much of what is happening on social media is people reading something and then talking to someone about what they just read. Social media is not a definitive nail in the coffin of people reading anything. That doesn’t make sense. What they are doing is tons of micro reading and micro sharing. It’s bad book clubs. It’s not the total destruction of all book clubs ever existing anywhere ever.

What else

Starter plants. Who ever said you have to graduate beyond starter plants? You can just have five Pothos. You can have ten pothos. You can have 17 spider plants. You can have 20 succulents. You can have herbs that you eat so that you don’t have to feel bad that it’s dead, because you ate it. Nobody is being the plant police. The people who do not understand plants just like that you have plants. The people who understand plants also just like that you have plants.

I like mechanical keyboards. If you find one that you really like, that makes you really happy, that is really awesome. There is no reason not to have a mechanical keyboard if you can afford one and you really love one. Why not? The advice it to have shoes you really like, a mattress you really like, a toothbrush you really like. If you’re interacting with it all the time, every day, why not have a keyboard you like? They are a lot of fun. No you don’t have to do crazy hobbyist things like customize every single key…though you could.

Puzzles. I wrote about liking puzzles already here.

Lamps. I like lamps.
