Real Observations Since I Started Wearing A Wizard Hat Daily:

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

Please continue about your business

Honestly, big fan of how fucking Weird™ Neuvillette is

He can't do small talk for shit, his idea of a pastime is standing soaking wet in the rain with no umbrella, he'll infodump cool water facts at you given half the opportunity. He's the adoptive father of several dozen(?) immortal kids. He's a lawyer. He's inexplicably talented at making pottery.

He's somehow simultaneously the coolest and the lamest person in Fontaine

Unsolicited thoughts. Keep what you like. Disregard what you like. Scroll by as it suits, lol. Freewill is good like that.

Situational awareness matters.

McDonald's is a real estate company.

Google is an advertising agency.

Meta/BookFace is a data mining company.

Disney is a political machine.

We are collateral before citizens.

We are products before customers.

Media & reality TV are Roman circuses.

The govt & Fed is serving Roman bread.

The Central banks are a cabal.

WW3 is actually WW4 and started long ago. Pray for the non-power players in all theatres that are having their days and nights ripped apart in ways we cannot fully understand. The fifth columns will be what impacts the proletariat the most IMO, for good or bad, on every front.

1984 and T2 apparently should have been studied and reflected upon more.

Still believe in hope and humanity.

Chase the day. Walk by faith, even when it's the size of a mustard seed.

Sort your priorities. Resort as needed. Declutter things around you to declutter your mind.

Protect your clan. Help it thrive. Accomplishing that does not always have to come at the expense of others.

Be generous IRL when you can. It's better than throwing money, etc at things you're not around in your regular life.

Pray for people you care about. Pray for people you're peeved at. This is a winning strategy.

Unproductive emotions cost too much. Let it out and make decisions to do something you actually can accomplish. Stewing in a funk doesn't do much.

Get off your phones more. Touch grass.

Talk to people IRL more about things so you're aware and can digest things and form your own views and opinions and priorities.

Listen to things you agree with and don't agree with and form your own thoughts. Be okay changing your mind.

Find ways to keep whatever is roaring at you at white noise levels.

Make time to enjoy the silly fun IRL.

Don't let the Internet of Things rile you so far you find unreasonable fault in decent humans in your life that might not be clones of your current priorities and views of the world.

Inappropriate laughter is a valid cope.

Good hearted fun laughter is a necessary emotion. It's not the same when it happens online vs IRL.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

The Buff is forever.

Stay classy.

Have the grooviest day possible always wherever the day takes you.

I think I will never recover from this book
