There’s 2 parts sometimes half and half sometimes 99:1. Momma cries at night or in the morning. He hears some of it and maybe it echoes later on. Dad on the sidelines spills dirty words that dance across the hall field settling in with the sweat on her headband. Hard to walk hard to think hard to spell Impossible, probably. For this dude it’s too hot or she’s too dark. One of them needs sunglasses cause the brightness is turned all the way to the max. All these birds are standing on a branch All these other birds are flying high I came near their nests and they flew away "Will you come back?", I say Safety's first It's never half and half.

Okay so I have recently become mildly obsessed with the TV show Rick and Morty . It’s a mean, cynical show, but it also exhibits surprising humanity and depth. I like how creative it gets; you can almost feel it building up the new generation of sci-fi references and foundations. It’s a smarter, faster, more modern and more vulgar Futurama. It is also looser, messier, and rougher than a lot of TV I’m used to. Rick and Morty addresses a desire to fulfill some special existential purpose with what I'd call an uplifting cynicism. In it, Summer(Morty's sister) finds out that she was, an unwanted pregnancy. She breaks down and wonders if there's any real meaning to her life. Morty then tells her his equally unsettling experience of burying his own body from a different reality. He concludes by saying Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die Come watch T.V? While this may be an especially dark moment, it contains a comforting message: For ...

A bell rings in the distance he hears it but ignores it at least for the first few rings. A light shines through the small crack under the door to his bedroom but he leaves the door closed is there really something in there worth checking out? There's a voice message from his mother and his best friend and his other best friend but they can wait and if they wait long enough they’ll forget about it. He sits on a riverbank overlooking the waterflow thinking about nothing at all a light rain starts to fall and he doesn’t seem to notice it he just sits and stares out toward the horizon like he’s made of plastic.

There were two best friends who hung out around the corner from the school. They were drunks. Harmless ones And occasionally even helpful Particularly when the kids kicked the ball over the short wall. One day, one of the two friends showed up with a fancy suit He didn’t seem to miss his old life really. Construction started in the parking lot where they used to drink. Soon the kids stopped seeing the two brothers altogether. The shoe stores on the near street were replaced by new shoe stores. The kids from the playground got older and graduated from orange soda to coffee. Why did they build all these banks? You can only fit so many people on the sidewalk before they spill into the streets. He looks into the never ending street Nothing about it is familiar. 3 years since the smoke poured it up and the small gardens on the sides look like Europe or how he imagines the extravagant pavements of Casablanca. 3 years since he's been stuck What happened to his lif...

Okay so… I love starting off a thought with, “okay so…” It makes me feel like I’m giving off a super serious vibe and at the same time I get an extra moment to figure out what the heck I’m about to say. Casual Chadi, back at it again. Okay so, today I want to talk about the weather. Not like, the talk about the weather that every person on earth has every single day while making small talk, but more big picture. (That said, it was really beautiful outside today, like over the top perfect 11/10 everything). Big picture: I want to talk about the weather as marker of time. In some places (looking at you Rabat), the weather is the same pretty much all the time. Something about that predictability is appealing. You know what you’re going to get. It helps create lasting routines that maybe make you more productive or focused. It makes sense, I get it. One less potentially stressful thing out of the equation. In most places the weather changes with the seasons. Basically, summer is warmer an...
