So, I’ve read that monks say that to achieve happiness you have to perfect the art of living in the moment. They say, “Don’t wait. Don’t think of the future or the past. Be completely in the moment.”
As much as I’ve tried, I can never master this because I’m perpetually worried about the future, but technically even when I am thinking of the future I’m still in the present moment even though that particular moment is a moment when I’m obsessing about the future. I’m not sure if this means I’d make a very bad monk, or if it makes me a very talented monk who is just really good at multitasking.

And now, our weekly wrap-up. Buckle-up, Buttercup.
Shit I made in my shop (Named “EIGHT POUNDS OF UNCUT COCAINE” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
- A bunch of you asked for a card that could use to have half of an ecstatic raccoon face so I made you this. (Use the code “ZGREATESTDAD” at checkout for 60% off of it this week.)
- “Elegant Motherfucker”
Shit-you-may-or-may-not-want-to-see:
- Kick-ass stuff I pinned.
- Lior Shoov. I cannot stop listening to her music.
- Day = made.
- Satan is such a glory-hog.
Shit you should buy or steal because it’s awesome:
This week’s wrap-up is brought to you by How To Not Get Screwed. It’s not a sex book. It’s about moving, which is good because summer is when most people move and also it’s when you’re very likely to get screwed and that’s when this comes in handy.
