Good Things I Have Written

I would like to argue that our truest selves manifest in our ordinary work, what we can manage when we’re typically distracted, overextended, and depressed, and can’t think of the word for on the verge of realizing something, if such a word even exists. But the idea that some bang-average 900-worder about the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2017 offense reflects the contents of my soul makes me want to never write again, and anyway, you probably don’t want to read that. So we’ll keep to the relatively good stuff. Vertiginous, is the word I was circling for a few moments. Which doesn’t have anything to do with cognition. Things are going great over here. Anyway, clips:
