I thought I would start a thread looking for some collective free association.
Throw out your current thoughts, regardless of the subject. I am suffering from ennui, and your ideas could bring joy to me and others. Or not. Give it a try.
Just now I was thinking about how I should start jogging, but that I live in Seoul and that it would probably be counter-productive due the air pollution. And those masks that wrap around the ears probably wouldn't help for shit. |

The Challenge
Day 1: Count the number of times you complain in a 24 hour period.
Day 2: Don't complain about anything for 24 hours, but pay attention to how much people complain.
Day 3 and beyond: Don't complain. Be thankful. |

From Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies:
| Quote: |
Make an exhaustive list of everything you might do and do the last thing on the list
Change specifics to ambiguities
Remove ambiguities and convert to specifics
Overtly resist change
What context would look right?
Shut the door and listen from outside
Be less critical more often
Look closely at the most embarrassing details and amplify them
Imagine it as a set of disconnected events
Once the search has begun, something will be found
What is the reality of the situation?
Where is the edge?
Your mistake was a hidden intention
From nothing to more than nothing
Back up a few steps. What else could you have done?
Are there sections? Consider transitions
Remember quiet evenings
(Organic) machinery
Humanize something free of error
Use an unacceptable colour
Ask your body
Is it finished?
Change nothing and continue consistently
Trust in the you of now
What would your closest friend do?
Is there something missing?
Be extravagant
State the problem in words as clearly as possible
Don't be frightened of cliches
Tape your mouth
Listen to the quiet voice
What to increase? What to reduce? What to maintain?
Magnify the most difficult details
Use cliches
Emphasize repetitions
What would make this really successful?
What mistakes did you make last time?

| Is it wrong to find so many people irritating, repulsive, dull or uptight? |

| Also, should I open the Christmas present that arrived this morning now or on Christmas Day? |

Don't open it. Go outside and give it to the 2nd person that walks by.
