Today’s poem is a fun ode to family.
Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
As they took me out to space,
and put me in the ring.
They said to me "Just break the face
of that big slimy thing.
For you are Earth's finest man,
we know you are The One.
Your punches are the highest, man!
So come and get this done.
Go battle for your glory now,
and make your planet shine.
Extend your winning story now!
With your punches divine."
I said, "Now wait a minute
guys, you can't just make me fight!
My heart my head my spirit
don't just feel completely right!
For every time I'm in the ring,
I need my special balm.
I need some super special
good luck wishes from my Mom !"
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s it!

This is a place where I share something cool to read, something cool to listen to, and something cool to watch! The underlined words are links that you can click to visit the recommended content.
1. Read Farnam Street: A solid, practical blog full of specific advice about business and life in general. Helping you master the best of what other people have already figured out. Check it out.
2. Listen to Farewell Spaceman by Blockhead: Ahh Blockhead. What magical tunes you bestow upon us. This sparkly tune is one of my favorite Blockhead tracks, and I insist you check it out!
3. Watch “Why Tarantino will make only ten movies” by Nerdwriter: Nerdwriter is one of the OG Youtube video essayists. His deep dives into movies and art come from a deep and insightful place. I have learnt a lot from his perspective on art, and I loved his latest video about Quentin Tarantino. I love his point of view on a “Body of work” - it made me think about how Hello Universe is turning out to be my body of work, and how I can shape it. \
Well, that’s it for this week. See you next Tuesday!
Hmm, going to watch that essay. Tarantino is a unique one. Some of his work I really love (Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs), some I really don't get (From Dusk Till Dawn).
Great poetry.
I'm still catching up...
Love Blockhead ❤️ "Farewell Spaceman" is great, but my all-time fave is "Cheer Up, You're Not Dead Yet". Have you listened already to his new album "In The Nudes"? "The Squirrel From Ipanema" from it is absolutely awesome 🐿
