It seems to me that sloth and procrastination may be connected to Eros. To desire, which in its early stages is filled with the volatile, chemical reaction of new love. The procrastinator delays climax, that final, deflating groan. You let the book evade you, torment you, lead you on, promise you delight, and then leave you locked out at the gate. And yet the whole time you are both the prisoner and the inquisitor. But you are happy because the pursuit is still on. There is something to look forward to, to seek, to hunt, to wake toward. This is the procrastinator as a philosopher of desire

i could write a lot about how i still listen to this music all the time. how i remember the first time i heard “poor places” (headphones on, rain in the window, chicago gray sky). how it feels important to mark time with music, no matter how cliche that seems. how these past ten years have been so wildly different than i could have imagined.
i could write a lot. but, as usual, i will probably just listen. and think.

Shot with a Phantom Flex at 2500 frames per second, this video shows stupid things happening in super slow motion, including Coke bottle & chainsaw and flour and candle. And lots of fireworks. [click through for full size!]
