Hi friends,
Coming to you live from Austin, TX. Here is your weekly dose of Arman’s Antics, a list of what I’ve found that could be useful to you. Greetings to the five new subscribers receiving this for the first time (60 total). That’s almost enough to field an entire American football team. Please feel free to forward this along to a friend.
Article I’ve written
Last Wednesday I wrote about a topic that seemed to strike a cord. I make the argument that our mental junk food diet is rotting the collective mind of humanity and what we can do about it. I would highly advise having a read if you haven’t already - Mentally Obese (less than 5 minute read).
Tip for reconnecting with old friends
I was listening to a Derek Sivers podcast interview because I’ve been consuming a lot of his content lately and he reminded me of the importance of staying in touch with people. So I took a few minutes to scroll through my contact list and send a few texts to friends and family I hadn’t talked to in a while. Not with the intention of asking anything from them but just to simply see how they are. I hope it brought a smile to a few of their faces because it did for me. Who could you text today?
Facsinating person I learned from
Thanks to the Write of Passage course I’m taking I got to spend 1.5 hours inside the mind of a Twitter genius behind the account The Cultural Tutor. The account has only existed since May and already has 500K+ followers. I tweeted a quick stream of thoughts afterward that gives a summary of the talk.
What I’m rewatching that makes me giggle
Comedians in cars getting coffee on Netflix. Comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld hosts this show and they do exactly what the title says. He picks up a fellow comedian in a cool car and they drive to grab some coffee. It’s a show about nothing much like the other one he had back in the 90’s. Each episode is less than 20 minutes and there are dozens worth watching but I would recommend starting with Sebastian Maniscalco. You won’t regret it.
Random thought
I like a restaurant with a lot of items on the menu because you know they do them all…..beautifully 🤌
That’s all I have for you today. I’m giving you everything I got. It would make my day if you replied to this and let me know one thing you liked and hated. As always, you can find me on the interwebs where I’m most active on Twitter.
Have a terrific Tuesday friends!
Cheers,
Arman
