More Cool Things to Do

More Cool Things to do:

1. Write a novel. It's okay if it's a short one.

2. Write five songs. Not one song. Five. There's a good reason, but it's hard to explain.

3. Lace up your mintest high-top tennies, go down to the nearest friendly neighborhood asphalt b-ball court, talk a WHOLE lot of trash and then spend the entire day getting all sweaty, thumping bodies, driving to the hoop, swishing that sweet 'J', draining 3-pointers and dunking right in people's FACE. Or alternately, do as I do: spend the entire day getting demolished by superior players, yet maintaining a fiercely competitive demeanor and laughing a lot. It's true that I me personally don't laugh. But laughing can help one deal, sometimes.

4. Take down your fattest "general-purpose" cookbook from the shelf and do the blind-open it to a random page, put-your-finger-down-without-looking trick. Then make it. Whatever it is, go get the ingredients and make that recipe. Don't do it as a goof, give it your sincere best attempt to master that dish in one shot!

5. Write a sincere, heartfelt 2-page letter to the government, telling it all the things you wish you had said to it but never got around to. IMPORTANT: do not mail it. That's not what these sorts of exercises are for.

Anyway. There's a bunch more where that came from I'm sure (wherever that was)! But those should do ya for a start. I'm sure you can come up with even better ones along similar lines!

I'm going to go sit around watching tv for a few hours myself.
