If you’ve sold your reasoning out?” “Give It Up”, Talk Talk
My favorite song, by my favorite band, off my favorite album, is “New Grass” by Talk Talk. They’re a band that transcends music for me. Every song from them seems to unlock some new, hidden understanding about life. You might know them for their hit “It’s My Life” from 1984, famously covered by No Doubt.
Talk Talk’s frontman, Mark Hollis, died in February 2019 during a difficult time in my life. I was dealing with a feeling that I’ve experienced so much, that of failure. Of utter, abject mediocrity. Everything I touched, whether it was my education or the relationships with the people I hold dear, seemed to slip through my fingers like sand from a broken hourglass. The world around me was immaterial. I floated through it like a ghost.

Why Did Obama Forget Who Brought Him to the Dance?
His memoir is strangely silent about the people who organized for him.
Iâve recently spent a good chunk of time engrossed in reading
A Promised Land, the first volume of President Barack Obamaâs memoirs. After four years of the most impulsive and unstable president of my lifetime, hearing Obamaâs calm and judicious voice in my head was like having a long, comforting talk with an old friend. His retelling of the challenges of his first two and a half years, from the global financial crisis and the passage of Obamacare to the Democratsâ midterm collapse in 2010 and the successful operation to kill Osama bin Laden in May 2011, is full of revealing details and discerning insight.
