    I don't think we're a serious of enough pod to get a lot of followers.

  6. How to Exist Outside the Norm

    This pod is random since day one. Its tough to pull off random ideas that don't stay too long. Never sit, never dwell. Slay and go away, hit and run. The random life style controlled.

    This is the walking pod. I'm doing the pod whenever I can and wherever and this time it's in back of a thrift store. I don't remember exactly what I was talking about here - I think I was in love with the weather and the landscape and the freedom of being an artist.

  49. On The Hunt

    This past weekend I had to go on the hunt with my cousin who's trying to find a new woman. Hunting is much harder than it is when you're young. You got to deal with public toilets, tall people, bar food, hard stools and so much more. Glad I hunted wisely 36 years ago.

  50. Act As If Nothing Is Wrong

    Do you have any problems? Keep it to yourself if you want to succeed. I think that is true. Act as if you're ok because we are judging you as an individual. This pod completely created on the fly and it shows. Sound quality decreased on this one because of the AC unit kicking on and off and…
