something i thought about recently that i want to have a conversation with some smart and interesting people about: would your life be better or worse if you flat out were not required to sleep, ever? aren’t sharks like that or something? but the point being that your whole life is just one long, continuous day with light and dark periods. pros, obviously, you could do so much more, but cons then are theoretically a big deal. like would you then be expected to work 15 hour ‘days’? would the likelihood of going crazy increase with never getting to ‘shut down’?

as you think it over for my upcoming roundtable discussion, please listen to the new pay day song, some music that i’m sure will not put you to sleep. it’s from the new album by a band i only recently discovered (in the pages of urb no less — i know, right?): dat politics. i described this stuff to my friends as what you would hear if you had a pizza party for your 10th birthday inside an old-school NES, and instead of playing duck hunt you had a dance-off. yes, to me, that’s a fun concept. can’t you just imagine mario and the princess getting all crunk in 8-bit craziness?
