And, you know, cut to we're married and the mother of my children.

Adverbs of degree

Little did you know I was on hallucinogens.

This is a really sentimental symbol that is a memory of my mother with a little bunny rabbit engraved.

I've only worn it once to the Oscars because the first time I was nominated for Oscar, she was there with me, with my dad, and she passed away a couple of years ago and she wasn't able to come with us.

And I wanted something with me so that she could have some physical symbolic presence.

She was someone that could find beauty and meaning in this most invisible, diminutive things.

And I think she always identified with something in the rabbit.

She would fantasize about becoming a rabbit and hanging out with the rabbits that were at the bottom of our garden.

And maybe someday she does get to go and just kind of hang out down there with her rabbit folk, maybe.

Now, so I don't know if anyone knows Vlad Chivatil, who created Codenames, but it's a great game that I got into about five or six years ago.

And so whenever me and a certain group of friends are together, we will make sure that this happens.

And you can play on your own, I discovered, which is a sad state of affairs, but I've done it a few times on a flight.

I remember now this is a story that maybe I shouldn't tell because usually on a flight I keep to myself.

I did a little bit of mushrooms and took away a kind of layer of self-consciousness or shyness.

And I just started playing Bananagrams on my own on my little pull out table and ended up asking the person next to me if she wanted to play.

And we had this really wonderful long game of Bananagrams.

And, you know, cut to, we're married and the mother of my children.

Little did she know I was on hallucinogens.

So she was getting a very specific version of me in real life.

I feel like everyone has their own $150 ping pong paddle.

This is my luxury item on my desert island desks.

Just playing ping pong on my own wherever I am.

I never thought I would be someone who owns his own ping pong paddle.

And now when I play my friends in a casual game, there is no such thing as a casual game of ping pong.

I always have the upper hand with with my Timo Boll blade.

But but it does make me feel happy to be alive.

Granola generally is like the favorite part of my day.

I'll eat my granola with raspberries and blueberries and some 2% milk.

It used to be yogurt, but then I got food poisoning from my yogurt.

And then I just decided I don't want to deal with that again.

And then I'll have my coffee and I'll just I'll think or I'll write and I'll just kind of it's like so like beautiful solitude.

This is what something I'm writing at the moment.

This is something that I've been writing, and it's just elegantly beautiful.

I think like surfboards are pieces of art unto themselves.

And when you catch a wave and you ride it, you feel like you're riding the wind and you do make stupid sounds.

To have the time and the space to be able to pursue something just for the sake of doing it, I feel very grateful for.

We do need those things that are for not for no one else, but for ourselves and for our own growth and spirit and connection to reality.

My closest friends gave this to me in a period of time where I needed to trust the direction I was going, even if I didn't know where I was going.

And it was again during the time where going through a terrible loss, there was something about the void that that created and the remarkable things that started to slowly fill the void of that kind of loss.

And this definitely is a symbol of that kind of invisible net of friendship, I suppose.

And yeah, the compass is, I don't know, it's a reminder maybe that the more lost you are, the more of an adventure you're on.

And also maybe that's when you're into your true walkabout and you're going to find things that you wouldn't have dreamed you would find.

And this is a little symbol of some of the deep friendships in my life.

These are just like some things I'm reading right now because I've been kind of nomadic a lot of my life for a good 15 to 20 years.

I was just kind of like and I would have one suitcase with clothes and I would have another smaller suitcase with hard copy books.

Some of them got read and some of them didn't.

But it was more just like a feeling of home with me wherever I was going.

I start to get a bit anxious if I don't have literature and great stories with me in some way.

And I, you know, I have my iPad and I download.

But but like there's something about, I don't know, is this is, you know, it's not like theater.

You know, we have time as a mother and it's a series of poems and essays.

And Alan Watts always, you know, like get to get existential and remember the smallness of our own individual egos with Alan Watts.

This is a guy called Wade Davis, who was a National Geographic Explorer.

And this is him going into lots of indigenous cultures around the world and looking at our original human wisdom and how it can apply to some meaninglessness in today's world.

You know, this kind of like creative stimulation and life stimulation that feels essential to me.

There's a specific thing that the Carver skateboard does, and it's the front truck has this weird ability to twist as well as go side to side, I think is meant to kind of simulate more of an ability to carve out long lines that you would carve out while you're surfing.

And surfing has become a really essential part of my life.

It's one of the most kind of beautiful activities I think a human being can attempt to master and even try.

So this is a cool invention, really, because waves are few and far between.
