there is nothing you will try to hold on to.
- tao te ching
the last couple of years i've been bombarded with all kinds of advice on life, self-help books (yes, the secret included), one-time visits with therapists, shoulds and shouldn'ts, dos and don'ts. so far, the one piece of advice that i've received from different sources, and actually works, is to aim for the balls when caught in a fight. yesterday the variation of "grab, pull, and twist" was added by someone during a poolside discussion on what to do if found in an attack-type situation.
i'm not sure where i'm going with this, actually.
oh. the thing is, i've bombarded people with all kinds of advice - usually to do with the intricate goings-on between men and women. it usually boils down to acceptance. and that's what i'm saying. it feels great to accept. i'm actually surprised that the one piece of advice that i give out works. like i can't believe it.
so that's pretty much my thing right now. acceptance. not taking anything personal. disinterest in the most beautiful sense of the word. just living a new experience to add to me.
friends and fam are great.
pictures really do the trick for me. good therapy.
julien is rad. spur-of-the-moment for sure, i stayed with him on the rock in monaco for a week. he lives right next to the musée oceanographie - i know i've written about this spot before - where a lot of jacques cousteau artifacts are preserved. it's amazing. there's an open-air cinema next to the museum that's open during the summer. julz and i watched "into the wild" there. my latest fave film. he took me to cannes one night for some plage electronique thing. drum and bass by dj aphrodite.
if you're ever in monaco, it's all about the troisieme vers bar.
