00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.817 align:middle line:84%
"Nice Day" It's another
one about reading.

00:00:03.817 --> 00:00:05.400 align:middle line:84%
I thought there would
be readers here.

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.189 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:09.783 align:middle line:90%
"Nice Day."

00:00:09.783 --> 00:00:11.700 align:middle line:84%
A lot of things are
happening around the world

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.040 align:middle line:84%
and happening in patterns
that if you read a book,

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.110 align:middle line:84%
the book will point
out to you, chapter

00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:19.650 align:middle line:84%
by chapter, the exact way the
patterns are happening here,

00:00:19.650 --> 00:00:21.660 align:middle line:90%
and here, and here.

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:24.510 align:middle line:84%
You can feel like you're
learning something for a while,

00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:26.340 align:middle line:84%
but then as soon
as you catch on,

00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:28.920 align:middle line:84%
you think if I keep reading
this book is it just

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.900 align:middle line:90%
going to be more examples?

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:33.750 align:middle line:84%
Then as the book is rising
and falling on your belly,

00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:36.630 align:middle line:84%
you see the light from
the window, leafy dapples,

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:37.650 align:middle line:90%
so pretty.

00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:40.020 align:middle line:84%
You feel a little
lonely, but then you

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:43.710 align:middle line:84%
remember that reading feeling
of being on to something,

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:90%
those early pages.

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.080 align:middle line:90%
You pick it back up.

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:49.530 align:middle line:84%
But now the book takes
a turn for a paragraph

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:51.870 align:middle line:84%
into a sort of rhetoric
that pisses you off,

00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:54.600 align:middle line:84%
and that seems to give rise
to another sort of tension

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.460 align:middle line:84%
connected to loneliness
because you're

00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:58.680 align:middle line:84%
afraid you might abandon
the book for good

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:01.240 align:middle line:84%
and all your hopes for what
it might have given you,

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.260 align:middle line:84%
and that just makes
you masturbate.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:07.380 align:middle line:84%
The efficient orgasm is the most
productive moment of the day,

00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:11.460 align:middle line:84%
because, apocalyptically, it
has wiped the slate clean,

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:13.830 align:middle line:84%
and no one will
ever know about it.

00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:15.660 align:middle line:90%
What are you going to do now?

00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.360 align:middle line:84%
Most of the time you
could go back to reading.

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:21.450 align:middle line:84%
Some of the time, you
fantasize about a ragtag group

00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:24.120 align:middle line:84%
of strangers thrown
together by circumstance

00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.490 align:middle line:84%
who go on a quest for
some orgasm big enough

00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:29.040 align:middle line:84%
to leave them wanting something
different than they wanted

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.450 align:middle line:90%
before.

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:31.650 align:middle line:90%
Like what?

00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:33.150 align:middle line:90%
Gross food?

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:34.350 align:middle line:90%
Ugly stuff?

00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:35.670 align:middle line:90%
Feeling like crap?

00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:38.140 align:middle line:90%
Not understanding anything?

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:40.740 align:middle line:84%
All you do is lie in bed with
no underwear trying to think

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:42.510 align:middle line:90%
of something better and better.

00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:45.390 align:middle line:84%
In your next fantasy, you
are lying in moist dirt

00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:48.540 align:middle line:84%
and leaves in exactly
the same position.

00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:53.040 align:middle line:84%
In your next fantasy, you're
lying in hot sand, but no book.

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.310 align:middle line:84%
In your next fantasy,
an old standby,

00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:58.500 align:middle line:84%
you're faster than
all the animals.

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.600 align:middle line:84%
Everything is
burning in your wake.

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:02.160 align:middle line:90%
You're truly awake.

00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:05.520 align:middle line:84%
The flames taking on
the shapes of everyone

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:08.220 align:middle line:84%
you've ever heard of
in a herd behind you.

00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:09.750 align:middle line:90%
They're overtaking you.

00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:12.600 align:middle line:90%
In a last gasp you are engulfed.

00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.030 align:middle line:84%
It's the kind of thing that
leaves real people scarred

00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:16.460 align:middle line:90%
for life"

00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:17.000 align:middle line:90%
