i'm really a fan of like small liberal arts colleges boarding school small private schools things like that where you're really put into an insular environment that's completely planned out for you sports terms studying abroad dining halls with healthy food to eat single rooms in nice dorms (and maybe the importance of requiring sports throughout the whole time etc) trees plants quiet streets escape from world and the people (with the opposite effect) i think once you really get into that situation (i don't know why i fell off i lost track i believed in the importance of things and retracted into myself) there's definitely a formula and a way to succeed in life
golf is very exciting i played once it was one of the funnest things i ever did i got to this lake and then couldn't hit it over the lake i was the biggest believer in wherever the ball lands hit it from there (for example i thought you should have to put on scuba diving gear and hit it out of the bottom of the lake) i started designing and planning out atypical golf courses for a while i wanted to open up a golf course
once i started skipping sports to do homework instead that's when everything started going wrong watching sports for me though is counterproductive
but check this i thought this video was funny (just the one don't let it go to the next - i'm falling apart losing grasp of reality and self have to get out of situation whatever it takes total escape from this watching other people living the life is better than reality but still a major stab as far as impeding my own ability to make something of my own life and not throw everything into the trash it takes work i have to get medical attention i've just been writing about it for 8 years) - people suffer i have too many problems i have to escape once you're in a better place i think you're ability to think and develop and actually do something and make a difference is greatly enhanced)

it looks like they can make custom bikes that's like a vehicle to escape from everything go places you wouldn't otherwise see and get exercise to ground yourself back to reality when things are really going crazy (i think just simplicity is the way to go and build from there because from basic simplicity things get infinitely complex so there's no need to make things more complex)
i think just go into stores ride bikes find something that's comfortable be able to afford it and then just go from there do infinitely new things and you'll learn what might get you out of the situation theorizing and hypothesizing is always inaccurate in the real world how everything unfolds it's like a billion times more productive and worthwhile and enjoyable and meaningful in life to just go and adjust go and adjust go and adjust not to get caught in the trap of total self destruction and chaos losing mind desperation which really is just glamorized there's nothing attractive or exciting about it (like life has to be stable enough that you don't just keep taking increasingly and extremely high risk desperate attempts that when they fail you're even that much closer to death and even more desperate and unable to do anything which results in even greater high risk attempts keeping a clear head and making the right choices and having a buffer zone so the mistakes you do make don't send you off of a cliff is the mode to get in)

anyway so the guy who was talking to me about growing food he was saying you just learn as you go (and that you start getting pretty good at it)
i can understand the concept or the idea of like you want me to give money to that person who goes and buys mcdonald's with it and then the health food store next door where i shop at goes out of business (rather than the other way around which might not be as often an occurrence) but that's a problem to think about and address i think the important note is the concept of a cyclical process and a constant directional movement of a system is what creates the momentum and the energy that keeps things developing to a better state rather than a standstill that just seeps out into every direction into chaos
the economy has more to do with the direction and the steadiness of the movement then the actual place in space and the only way to self sustain is to move in a cyclical fashion so you have to be intelligent in the way that you move forward but you still need to move forward

"Why is it difficult?" Charlie asks.
It has 205 bunkers. If you drained your Jacuzzi and threw your ball in your Jacuzzi it is like hitting your ball out of there. Deep bunkers. Sand wedge get maybe 30, 40 yards and you may have to drive it sideways or backwards or take a stroke. The rough is really lush, six inches, looking at lost balls.
BORING. I fell asleep.
Try something different. Make it like trying to cross the Rio Grande. Tell us what the course is like if you were an illegal immigrant and you had to save your family by crossing and sending some money home.
How about this: The course is best played at night and you better watch out because that Tiger has really got his game on. He has eaten three so far this year. These links have 205 miles of desert. It is like having the city cut your water and then filling your mouth with sand. With a milk jug of water, that weighs eight pounds, you will be lucky to urinate backwards or sideways and you may as well take the penalty and have a kidney harvested. The only thing that is really lush is your smell and even you can’t get downwind of that stink.
(I really kill myself.)
