    Hearing “Highway to the Danger Zone” at a piano bar. It was request night for tips, where the requests were ordered by how much the tip was.

    Most of the tips were $1 to $3. I laid down Highway with $5, mostly as a joke.

    What I got was a panio cover made up on the spot, and it was the best version of the song I ever heard. Will likely never hear it like that again.

    Losing consciousness. I went to get by blood drawn for the doctor and for some reason I got nervous or something, and I lost consciousness for just a minute or two.

    I woke up as if I had just slept for 30 hours, more rested than I’ve ever been, no matter how long I sleep.

      When i did the same i was completely covered in sweat and it exhausted me like a good exercise session. I was only out for ten or maybe 20 seconds though.

      They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

      But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

      Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.

      -Philip Larkin
