First Swim In Tahoe



is the goal, not posting a video, watching a video, reading to be smart, to look smart, not making money to buy things online, not trying to appear cool, with photos of vacations to beaches, to mountains, co-opted nature into image, brand, style, so they will notice, not listening to music, the latest, the popular, the ai generated beats of computerized algorithms, not absorbing the news, not musk, bezos, gates, or white house, or made up stories about clint eastwood hitting muhammad ali, not running or exercise, or talking about running or exercise, or posting photos of protein-enhanced smoothies to live forever, not podcasts with wisdom & sponsors & ads, so many ads, not anything, nothing, except maybe god or the universe, or breathing, yes, just that.
