unknown.jpga friend of mine just sent me this ceiling mural which is reportedly in some smoking area, whereabouts unknown. i’m reading this book that references an interesting study that correlates with this visual. according to the study, if you want to motivate people to do something, you need to get them to first contemplate their own death. soooo, what do you think? is anyone even out there?? helloooooo?
