10 Things Everyone Should Own
Many sites have created lists of things "every man should own" around the holiday shopping season. I prefer this Minimalist version from Leo Babauta:
- Pen and notebook. For jotting down life lessons, and starting a novel.
- A library card. To read the Tao Te Ching, Anna Karenina, and Zen Mind Beginner's Mind.
- A phone for calling friends, so you can spend time together. Email works too, and this can be done for free via the library internet computer.
- A set of clothes, plus another set to change into. Second set is optional.
- A tea cup. You can use any cup. Goodwill has some if you don't own a cup.
- Soap. Hygiene is important.
- A gym membership, so you can have the satisfaction of canceling it when you decide to work out outside, doing bodyweight exercises, and going for hikes and runs with the above mentioned friends. Actually, the gym membership is optional.
Yes, this is the complete '10' item list.
Also from Leo, a concise list of things To Do
- Meditate. You don't need to own a cushion to do this. You can use a chair or couch, or do it outside for free.
- Learn self sufficiency. Stand on your own two feet, be content with yourself, know yourself. This will help when you get involved in a relationship with someone.
- Exercise or do something active outside.
- Practice compassion.
- Learn to cook simple, whole vegan food.
- Read often.
- Create every day.
- Learn something new. Practice often.
- Practice letting go of the ego.
Post Production
GED - Mixed Animated Short
Zach Cowen released a teaser this month for the animated series, GED, that he's created with Edgardo Santiago. They're looking to get something on Adult Swim. They tagged me to lend my voice for one of the three animated characters, aliens dudes orbiting the earth. The concept for the series has the aliens animated and only earthlings are shot live action.
