“The Silence” by Manchester Orchestra is a masterpiece.

Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
"You can go anywhere, but you are where you came from"
Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery

And that dark sound too...

Man.

When arriving to a new team; One thing I've always respected is those first interactions with colleagues... People really show their colours, who they are, how they approach problems and how they treat people.

It makes all the difference in the world.

Sometimes I am super scared of what I am doing at work. However I just go. Try to turn my ears off, tune my brainn and do my best...

Do it anyway, scared, doubting, insecure. In the end we only get one life, it's worth it.

We can't both become the same pawn that's made to fall,
Oil that tastes like blood, stole the summer scent.
From me to you.
You're stabbing me through you.
You're stabbing you through him,
and betting most of this world...

These lyrics are so damn powerful. Jars by Chevelle is to this day, one of my favourite songs ever. Such raw and pure emotion.

"When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man."

I feel like most of the people don't choose anymore, but respond to the algorithmic pace of life... They wake up, check their phones and let them decide their mood for the day.

Humanity is programmed — we just don't call it that.

This space I feel like is an oasis.

Every single day for almost 13 years I've been posting a WOD on one of my personal projects. It's humbling seeing the impact it has had on a small but intense group of people. The joy I get from this project is unmatched by any of the others. Proof to me, that not everything is about the money.

Starting a new position is always so rewarding.
