ok they are 2.3k each and I have, lets see, 2.3k of them which comes to a total sum of...4.6 million dont worry about the math I had my account aunt handle it
Fantastic. They’ll go nicely next to all the word-art murals that say things like “Relax”, “Breathe”, and “Love”, and which seem innocently positive at first but come to feel weirdly demanding and overbearing after a while. And thanks for the discount.
I'm waiting for a plane to take off (I am on the plane) and I got a notification you dropped a new piece. I was already scrolling through YOUR archives trying to figure out how to forget I have to sit in a metal tube in the air for a few hours with little leg room, so I thought, "perfect."
Well, not perfect, because I cannot for the life of me remember whether the quotes go inside or outside the punctuation. Regardless, I began reading absolutely not prepared for THE TRUTH. Some say the truth will set you free, but I say the truth might be confusing and keep you caged in a mental metal tube of your own until you figure out what to do with it.
Fortunately your truth here has sent me to the stuck-in-a-metal-tube-thinking-about-if-the-weekend-was-a-success-but-the-question-really-is-did-i-fulfill-L3-and-if-so-i-can-relax? So thank you for that. I am a reductionist and this is my favourite reduction today, that is, until I find some balsamic glaze for my pizza.
dear friend thank you for this. I imagine you will be deplaning from a journey at 30,000 feet (and also from the flight).
i can only assume that you led a heated yet ultimately productive conversation about L3 on the flight and now everyone is enLightened.
Also, thanks for letting me know you were already reviewing my work on the plane. I am balls deep in negotiation with SUD aka Spirit, United, and Delta (the big 3 once you get them the others fall in line toy soldiers) about featuring my essays on the in flight entertainment. They're trying to lowball me with a 'no one reads on a plane' bullshit but I tell them 'look around, james patterson got rich from these plain jane plane janes u know what I mean ??'
Anyways, thank you - here's hoping I can get a deal through wit the SUD before EOD PST.
also, to your question about did you fulfill L3? Yes.
A fair assumption that I enLightened my co-passengers but the piece of information you were missing is that I was running low on sleep, so I basically fell asleep right after I wrote that comment. That also due to the fact that I lost internet connection at approx 926 ft altitude and then had nothing to do, so I wish you the best in negotiating with SUD.
On the ride back home, however, I realized (the next few sentences get really deep so look away if you don't know how to swim and are <6ft) the reason I was feeling unsettled about the weekend. There was a lack of sufficient laughter, and that apparently indicated a gap in love, and that was causing me to feel less alive.
And so it's is actually love that lets us laugh, and laughter is a sign we are alive. Love is the root of all... nEvil?
Anyway, basically I was like do I not love my family enough???!? but then I realized other things can get in the way and I just need to not let them get in the way, ie stress, and I do love my family and it's all good I just need to chill an love is not always laughter, but it should always get you to laughter eventually, and I was a genius. And then I got home and had some strawberries.
You did it. Nirvana by way of strawberries via The 3L superhighway.
I no joke just landed from my own flight. Similar woes re: Wi-Fi. Also flying from seeing family, who are universally a LLL time space warp in which nothing is as it seems and even in moments of glorious anger, the live laugh love of it all is there.
You know this too, otherwise you’d not find any strawberries
An excellent collaboration with the Dali Lama, thanks for sharing! Spot on about the need for L3. There are many different ways to love or laugh but maybe it's simply do you feel lighter around that person? Perhaps in a hilarious way or in a calm, glance across the room way, or both.
I enjoy how you tackle deeper issues from a different perspective. I think I'd rather your art on a T-shirt than on my wall. Maybe you should sell the swag as well as the art?
“ROUGH draft v1.01 (usethisone)” yeeeeeees, absolutely how all my files are named. Also Jesus needing “me time” Lolol. My neighbor has a LLL door mat and it makes me so happy because in my decor world that is ABSOLUTELY verboten and they are all “look at me not caring about being cheesy,” flying in the face of irony, sophistication, etc. 🤘🏼Do I need to add that English is a second (third, fourth?) language for them? Even better. “We will see this country’s aphorisms and raise them to infinity.”
I prefer the unenhanced diagram. I'll take 12. One for each month of the year.
The Dali Lama chuckles at his own jokes, and sits a lot. This leaks out, for the worse, in the enhanced version. You should consider terminating his consultancy services.
if only I could. I'm good friends with his Dali Mama and owe her one, so I said he could intern for me this summer. Dude really wants to 'get into substack' and have a newsletter. We'll see though, could be good - the whole enlightened thing is helpful sometimes
I had the necklace when I was seven years old but it was “Live Love Laugh” not “Live Laugh Love.” In any case even when I was seven I thought it was annoying and stupid. Don’t tell me what to do!
"But what if there was no Laugh, then you’d just be Live and Love, yes?
This is the usual stumper for people. They are Live and Love but sometimes they are not Laugh and so they feel that they have failed the L3 phiLosophy."
You missed the opportunity to say 'they have failed the phiLLLosophy'
Question 2: FMK style list: 1. Laughter, 2. Love, 3. Live I guess
To me it seems Jamie Moreland cracked the LLL algorithm* until of course he was murdered. Life lesson: Be more like Jamie but with less death and you’ll experience the pursuit of happiness.
*why doesn’t algorithm have more H’s tucked inside?
Re: your etsy diagrams for sale, I'll be needing at least one for each room of the house. Christmas come early.

This is a genius idea. If anyone else would buy BATART plz like this comment so I can gauge demand

The post ironic LLLis genuinely very powerful

There are a few concurrent entities happening there, I don't know if that's your enlightenment, or something you've taken. 😁
yes
😂😂😂😂***walks into room...feels a bit awkward 😂 Buys all the decor... has trouble finding the door out 😂😂😂😂
Live, laugh, AND love? In this economy?
dude are you a fortune teller bc one of my next pieces is titled 'in this economy?'
Yes.
Thanks to you I feel so smart now!
hahaha

I did just discover this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live,_Laugh,_Love_(song) the album cover is ... something. Like watching the music video for 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'
FUCK I MISSED IT IT WAS RIGHT THERE I bLLLew it
I would die before I'd have Live Laugh Love decor in my home. I mean c'mon. It's not rocket surgery.
Hahahah tbh some “it’s not rocket surgery” merch could be pretty sick

Jesus my next mystery to solve - algorithm vs rhythm
I finally found the perfect explanation for this video: https://youtu.be/diJR5x3l0Og?si=ddo6m5ZzIbAVjlG_
This is hilarious! Never really thought I should live my TRUTH by truly living, laughing, and loving. Live on, laugh on, and love on, brother!
