What I Learned About Connecting With People

I have been reading Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People for a
while, and there are a lot of ideas from the book that have stayed with me. What I like about the
book is that many of its lessons are simple, but they can make a real difference in how we
communicate and connect with people.

Akin to an instagram spam page, this constant and unedited flow of content mirrors the ever flowing creative conscious and ball of energy that Proxy embodies.

A sound built from pierre’s infrastructure of cartoony melodies, thin trap drums, and thwarting basses, tdf maintains the foundation even in the octave underworld. 

tdf, also known as ‘i love you’, is the underground’s producer – in both name and impact. To date, scattered across a handful of aliases and alt accounts, he has 5 “official” album/mixtapes released -

Why Dhurandhar Might Be the Best Bollywood Film We’ve Gotten in Years

I always assumed that was where the biggest opportunities were, where musicians went to build their careers, and where I would eventually need to be.

I have a habit of talking a lot. When my excitement and passion get the best of me, I talk over people, even when I try not to. 

I was either overly interrupting or getting caught up in all the other details and not the actual words. But despite the reminders, warnings, and at times scoldings, from teachers and friends, nothing exposed my listening skills more than the hellish wasteland of the Mojave in Fallout: New Vegas.

Tame Impala Concert Reivew

Why yes! Knowledge is absolutely power! But “The Less I Know the Better” will always hit! 

Going to a Tame Impala concert feels exactly like one of his songs. Colorful, groovy, slightly chaotic, and just disorienting enough that you’re like, “Wait…where am I?” Giving you that instant floating feeling or feeling like you’re going to be just fine.
