I generally invent something based on a small part of my mental imbroglio. Like that I don't look like I hide something, and I don't feel like a liar.

When i met my now best friend 10 years ago, she would always ask me what i'm thinking about. Probably because i'm really good at just starring around. It was never annoying, because she genuinely wanted to know, and it wasn't just trying to make conversation. I always said: "nothing".

One day we were in a café and my mind was wondering off and she asked again. For some reason i didn't say nothing, i said: "see that guy on his BMX with his red shorts?" "On the shorts, it says: Deez Nuts. Deez Nuts is an Australian Hardcore band, and they have a song called "I hustle everyday" In the music video of "I hustle everyday." The singer has a calendar with the headline "Hustle". And he crosses off every day. Because they hustle every day."

She smiled and said: "got it." And i don't think she asked again.
