Yeah, I hate walking out into the inside of a microwave. I was in San Antonio last week. Caught out in a thunderstorm. Amazing. What’s your favorite season? Mine’s easily fall. The rain, the smell, it’s when I feel most myself.

I’m from Fremont, went to Michigan. So why MI from CA? Because if I did 4 more years of high school at Berkeley, I woulda probably killed myself. Ann Arbor is an amazing town.

Last month I met someone around your age who went to UC Irvine. He told me the most fascinating story about how his frat started a male escort service, and how it was the most exhilarating and most terrifying thing he’d been through.

So…were you in a frat?

Irvine’s a great town. I have family there. The most devout Lakers fans I know. You don’t know what tolerance is until you’re a Warriors fan forced to love a Lakers fan. Absolute sainthood.

Do you feel you measure yourself in battles? Why do you like to win?

Has September been particularly intriguing?

Today I got a call from someone willing to pay 10k for me to play basketball. I have finally fulfilled my family’s dream of getting paid to play…HORSE. I did it y’all. Go AMAX.

It’s about making decisions.

10K. he said, whatever you do, I’ll support it.

10K to play basketball. This is as good as my first check for writing.

Because my secret society will be a cult hit. I could write about it. Or I could make it.

fremont is full of ghosts.

meeting people who are haunted. if you are haunted by your shadow, your shadow haunts you. Doesn’t that make you, in fact, the shadow?

November will be massive. Focus. Save your energy.

This has been a tough month.

End of quarter madness.
