Gross Pyjama Wearing People and Flow States

There was no time for a blog post yesterday man! It's the Sabbath, although who really 'rests' on Sundays. Actually, nvm, a lot of people do. I wasn't raised with this idea of 'rest' on weekends or really. . .ever.

I worked from age 9 until today - which is how I graduated university with no debt, yay!!

I literally cannot sleep in though, and if I do, I feel like shit for the day. Not in a sense of guilt but I get brain fog and the body doesn't respond like it should with my regular sleep schedule of getting up at 7am. 

My sister and I went for a walk yesterday at around 11am and we see the neighbour still in his pyjamas smoking a cig. How is that not considered a mental illness? lmfaoooo

Check out that podcast episode I did called "How to Know You're Actually Insane". For me personally, I can't compute how someone could stay in pyjamas for a day. Remember when people starting working from home and were like:

"Yeah it's awesome, I can work in my pyjamas and even work in bed"

Part of me is jealous that they can have such low standards of their own abilities and strive for so little. The other part of me is like "Wooowww you fucking suckkkkk" lmfaoooo

When I used to work at a hospital in the psychiatric ward I would see mentally ill patients in their pyjamas all day, dragging their feet in slippers. Obviously nothing against these people but being in loose clothing when the sun is out makes me feel like ass. 

I think about how important strangers are ever since the pandemic hit. I love being in a city, walking by strangers, saying hi to randoms and being involved in the guess work of others routines. 

So, the whole point of this post was to talk about music but look at how the mind wanders into nothingness. 

Yesterday a friend of mine came over to play some guitar and jam some new songs out. We came up with some insane chord progressions and a harmony that made us both incredibly happy. 

I jammed with my brothers for years in the basement with a drum kit and our guitars but we would never just play something. They didn't want to just jam on Enter Sandman because it was way too stock, popular or cringe to play something so common. Needless to say, we didn't get a lot of these moments of discovery like I had yesterday. 

The moment when you're in that 'flow state' is worth all the pain the world. To finally hit a moment in time where you're locked in, where nothing else matters (yay Metallica again), and where you're connected with someone else in rhythm, damn that's a feeling. 

If you have the opportunity to lock yourself into something you love, that's a damn blessing. Sometimes it's difficult for us to find out what we actually like and enjoy. Kids today scroll on phones as if that's something they're good at. Nah, every human has a thing man, even if that thing is having a bunch of interests and hobbies. 

What's your thing? What keeps you in the moment? Can you recall a time where you were in a flow state? How can you make that happen some more?

Thanks for reading. Get out of your pyjamas now you ass :P
