rate your day

Why is so much of what we pursue, choose, want, spend our time doing, filled with the trivial, non-consequential, non-eternal?

“Much that pertains to dress, to accomplishment, to living, to employment, to amusement, to conversation, will appear, when we come to die, to have been like the playthings of children. We shall feel that time has been wasted and strength exhausted by that which was foolish and childish.”
-Jonathan Edwards

Parkour

My friend Peter in London is really into this crazy urban sport/discipline that absolutely amazes me. Check it out. It’s pretty incredible!


Parkour is a physical discipline inspired by human movement, focusing on uninterrupted, efficient forward motion over, under, around and through obstacles (both man-made and natural) in one's environment. Such movement may come in the form of running, jumping, climbing and other more complex techniques. The goal of parkour is to adapt one's movement to any given obstacle.
