Thanks, Ingrid! Also, omg, I love Trevor's podcast. I haven't listened in a while, thanks for reminding me. Now I have extra incentive to catch up, I'm sure the segment was funny 🙂

Hang on, what are you saying about me? 😝

But you know what...I do have a conspiracy theory that I've only told to a few people and NO ONE believes me, they think I'm nuts. I'll run it by you: I think Shakira is a scam. I think she's tricking all of us and it's an elaborate hoax. Bear with me, most people think I'm nuts, but I'm convinced. I'm not a fan of hers at all (to put it diplomatically). I just don't see the appeal. And her dancing to me looks absurd, like it's all an act. Whenever I see her dancing, the weirdly robotic ways that she moves, it's so cringeworthy but then people say what a great dancer she is, how talented, etc. I find her dancing awkward as hell and I argue with people about this and I swear one day, she's going to come out and make an announcement that she's been fooling us all along and will say 'alright you suckers, the joke's on you, you think I'm actually dancing?! This has all been an elaborate scam to prove that you're all a bunch of suckers and sheep and you fell for it, we're totally taking the piss!'

I'm certain that one day I'll be vindicated and people will say, 'my goodness, Daniel, you were right all along!'

(Feel free to question my sanity)

It's the She-Wolf video I mostly have in mind. I'm convinced it's all a ruse!

Ok I was not familiar and after watching it exactly once I'm not sure why she's dancing inside what looks like a huge vagina buuut this robotic dancing I believe is #symbolism, like maybe because she is a wolf in captivity or something so it's unnatural. While I'm not a huge fan I really enjoyed her Grammy performance, here's the link if you want to develop your conspiracy theory further - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbgjScHp5lQ

I joined a gym to make a summer body, and as a challenge for not writing - I haven't stopped writing 😱

Why did you want to stop writing?

I want to make sure I have things to write about. We have to replenish the well.

Although Spring is prying the fingers of winter off the world with a knife so there will be things I am sure.

That makes sense. Inspiration comes from the weirdest of places sometimes.
