Remember making playlists and putting them to physical media - that's almost what this is!!! Make a playlist for a friend and send it to them! There is a place in San Francisco called Scrap https://www.scrap-sf.org/home where you can buy large quantities of various items and weird trash, usually for art making etc - it's so cool, I think it should be a tourist destination if you ever visit the bay. When I was younger I used to take dates there, I'd drive them from their house to this weird recycling center in an industrial park part of the city and we'd sort through piles of junk. They used to have a huge barrel full of CD's and DVD's and i'd spend most of the time finding these discarded mix cd's, a lot of love songs, with custom art drawn on the tops of them from strangers. They were so cool, so important and I'd try to impress their importance on the person I brought. I think the barrel of CD's is gone now - will report back this after I take a trip there this weekend. ART BOOK FAIR SF is this weekend - Please attend! 7.8.2026 Please message dom@dominicdecarlo.com with 2-3 sentences describing your current vibe and I will return you a .zip file with a 16 song playlist. I write great mail! When I was 16 someone from russia sent me a playlist with a Unicorns track on it and a really sweet custom made album artwork. I still check in on them occasionally and I think about the song all the time. 6.23.2026 All my corpo life stress superseded by the stress of an xfinity price negotiation. I live for this I love saying NO. 6.17.2026 There's a character limit I just noticed! 6.16.2026 I switched to doing these daily writings to a physical notebook - what is this for now? I think for more thought out and reflective thinking from said brain dumps. Writing shorthand reminded me this morning when I made the conscious decision to start writing my "g"s with a curly loop and my "y"s with a single slanted line to differentiate them better - trying to explain this to my friends in grade 2 or 3 and feeling very alien because they had no idea what I was taking about. How's your life? The Bay is cold and foggy and full of feeling right now. My machines are all working well. I need to sell my motorcycle. My car is the only engine I want right now. I've ridden a motorcycle since I was around 8, and got a street legal bike as soon as I turned 16. I've ridden my current bike to the Canadian border, to Mexico, most of California. I think i'm done for awhile - I have no urge to ride and my sense of self is changing. Not bitter sweet, not sad.
