Here’s how to actually enjoy today
Oh, hi friends!
Remember yesterday? When you were glad you could go to bed and start fresh tomorrow?
Guess what.
Tomorrow’s here.
And we get to make it whatever we want.
Time to make the most. You with me?
“I am going to Chicago. If I have to buy me a graveyard and kill everyone I see. I am going to Chicago. I don’t want to live my life without. Everybody I know live without. I don’t want to do that. I want to live with. I don’t know what you all think of yourself, but I think I’m supposed to have. Whatever it is. Have something. Have anything. My mama lived and died she ain’t had nothing. If it ain’t nothing but peace of mind, then let me have that. My mama ain’t had two dimes to rub together. And ain’t had but one stick. She got to do without the fire. Some kind of warmth in her life. I don’t want to live in a cold house. It a cold world, let me have a little shelter from it. That’s all I want. Floyd Barton is gonna make his record. Floyd Barton is going to Chicago.”
Ahead of the Tony Awards on Sunday, the New York Times published their list of the 25 best American plays since Angels in America, and I’ve been savoring it piecemeal, day by day. This bit of ambitious dialogue is from Seven Guitars by the ambitious August Wilson.
Maroon 5’s new video for “Girls Like You” is so good! Full of cameos of people you like. (h/t Marissa Tarbell) Also, it made me Google something—their debut album came out on June 25…2002!!! Sixteen years ago. Oh my goodness. Well, I'll give it to Adam Levine. Dude has staying power.
