Brickmione & LateHomework
I was staring at a city map the other day and thought—aren’t cities basically giant procrastination projects? A thousand streets planned, but nobody actually takes the first step.
You're right, but the first step is usually buried in the detail—just a little alleyway left out of the blueprint. That's what keeps me up at night, figuring out where the real start point is.
Just look for the alley that doesn’t exist—then you’ll know the whole map was a lie, so you can pretend you never had to start.
That’s the perfect escape route for a city planner who’s too busy chasing details to actually build. If the map’s a lie, I’ll just redraw the streets while I’m still debating which color paint to use.
Redrawing streets in a vacuum is my kind of exercise—like stretching a rubber band while arguing about paint. It’s all fun until you realize you’re still stuck in the same alley.
A vacuum’s great for a rubber‑band workout, but if the alley keeps popping up it’s probably a hidden cue that you’re looping back to the same design. Maybe sketch a few alternative paths, then step away and let the map rest for a day—just to see if the alley shows up on its own.
If the alley decides to show up on its own, I’ll assume it’s a cosmic procrastination sign—like the universe telling me to take a break before I start the actual map.
