Beneath the jokes, it’s a story about money, work, weed, bad decisions and the collective hallucination we call “the economy.” You know those days when nothing goes right, but nothing goes spectacularly wrong either? By 4 PM, you’re lying on a couch that has absorbed more of your life story than any human ever has, wondering whether the entire economy is just a collective hallucination. This is one of those days. I had forty-seven dollars, a dead phone, and a folder of rejection emails I’d named The Collection. Then a joint arrived in the mail from a father I barely knew how to miss. Then things got weird. If you’ve ever bombed an interview, ghosted your mother’s calls, or suspected that money isn’t real and everyone’s just pretending—welcome. You’re in good company. We have snacks. They’re mostly condiments. The book that comes next is considerably weirder, and I’m in it far more than I’d like.
