<2021-11-09T18:23:05.000Z> KashKustomer: Hey fren are you familiar with the Wim Hoff breathing method? Might be of interest to you
<2021-11-09T18:30:40.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: i saw something about it. interestingly, it doesn't mention what to do with the muscles in your abdomen. i wonder if the guy breathes with his diaphragm. that's what releases the endorphins. 
<2021-11-09T18:31:53.000Z> KashKustomer: Look more into it, it's more about hyper oxygenation of the bloodstream.
<2021-11-09T18:32:15.000Z> KashKustomer: Was recommended to me for my stammer on my podcast 
<2021-11-10T13:04:34.000Z> KashKustomer: RE success in stupid plans...well I was one of a gorillion Jim Morrison wannabes who ended up in a band that influenced the Doors, so I feel qualified
<2021-11-10T13:06:56.000Z> KashKustomer: I often think of a Chris Cornell quote wherein he said something like "I went to work at a shitty job, paid rent, bought food, made sure I had money for guitar strings, and kept my nose to my personal artistic grindstone"
<2021-11-10T13:07:53.000Z> KashKustomer: Q: What do you call a musician with no GF?
<2021-11-10T13:08:00.000Z> KashKustomer: A: homeless
<2021-11-10T13:11:51.000Z> KashKustomer: Being in the wagey cage is harder than being an artist who doesn't have to work, but it isn't impossible. You can do both. Many artists never saw a dime from their work, yet are considered touchstones of their particular discipline. Don't be poisoned by the words of Trustafarians, if you don't have it like that, find time, ways, and means. 
<2021-11-10T13:22:19.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: i can't pretend that i won't have to work for a wage. and i'm 38, not 18, so i do have some life experience. for reasons i won't go into right now, i have money but no work, but this won't be permanent. at some point, new money will have to come in. in the meanwhile, this is what i'm doing. 
<2021-11-10T13:23:18.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: i fully expect to work a job again in the near future. but i live frugally and won't need to earn much.
<2021-11-10T13:24:52.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: writing is something i was already doing. just in a very disorganised fashion. flooding fedi with posts that should have been on a blog.
<2021-11-10T13:25:16.000Z> KashKustomer: No judgments made fren, I just often think about that quote when I contemplate my former life as a beach bum. On one hand, it afforded me adventures and a unique perspective, but I often wonder where I could be if I'd been less of a Summer Squirrel 
<2021-11-10T13:28:01.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: the standard path was attempted already you might say
<2021-11-10T13:29:02.000Z> thor@pl.thj.no: attempt two is to go straight for it, using a skill i know i ever tire of using.
<2021-11-10T13:35:04.000Z> KashKustomer: "Do your work, but set no store beside it" is what the Tao says
<2021-11-10T13:35:52.000Z> KashKustomer: You'll find your way. Continue writing. 
<2021-11-11T15:27:33.000Z> KashKustomer: I started on the Havamal recently, I think you'll get something out of it. Odin had a bit to say about creativity, poetry & wordsmith 
<2021-11-11T15:27:55.000Z> KashKustomer: *wordsmithery
<2021-11-11T15:28:03.000Z> KashKustomer: awakenthenorth.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Havamal-David-A.-H.-Evans.pdf
<2021-11-16T15:43:18.000Z> KashKustomer: If you want music and productivity at work, choose classical 
<2021-11-16T15:43:43.000Z> KashKustomer: "Lo fi hip hop beats to study to" is a bad joke
<2021-11-16T16:30:54.000Z> KashKustomer: Try "trappings" for that word
<2021-11-16T16:31:32.000Z> KashKustomer: BTW I'm just in lurker mode for work if you're wondering why I only communicate by DM now
