CxD #171: Be Careful Only in a Perverse Way 🌼

3. The Leftovers was one of the best television shows I’d ever seen—maybe Top 4, after The Wire, Mad Men, Sopranos— which I wrote about some issues back if you want to thumb through the archives. Justin Theroux is the main protagonist, and for no other reason, I thought this cover photo would delight most of you. Who’s the more handsome of the two?
4. This video is too good and truthful not to share with you. Please watch even if you don’t give a fuck about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts, even though both are an integral way to design character.
It may change the path of your life.
Spoiler: the most free and powerful and humble men are those who move into their vulnerabilities rather than protect against them.

If We Were Vampires
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
Or one day you'll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
Or one day you'll be gone
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
