I have a little postcard from Hanes, Alaska, and it still comes to me in my dreams all the time.

I'm back there.

It's so hard to be in a bad mood when you're looking at the stars.

It's so hard to be in a bad mood when you're riding a bicycle and you feel the wind.

It's funny.

It's such a simple little thing, a stupid little invention, this bicycle.

But you get in and you ride around.

It's very hard to stay in a bad mood if you spend two hours on a bicycle.

And there's so many things like that that we rob ourselves of.

I don't know.

I find when I'm in nature, exercise.

When I run outside and I'm running through the trees and I see a hawk and I see the wind blowing through and I pass a farm with sheep, it's like I come back from a long run high and I feel like I like myself.

Yeah.

In the city, I go to the gym and I got on one thing highlights of all my sports teams that I love and they're blinking up and down.

And then I got the world is ending on all the news channels blinking up and down.

And I got guys who are in better shape than me walking by and girls who are super hot walking by that I'm trying not to look at and be a good person.

And I walk out of the damn gym and I hate myself.

You know what I mean?

I mean, I've got some exercise, but it wasn't, I long for the country.

But anyway.
