Something That Happened

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, Something That Happened offers a hilarious and heartwarming escape. With his keen eye for absurdity and his knack for finding humor in the mundane, Matt takes readers on a journey through the trials and tribulations of modern life.

From his daily commute on the New York City subway, where he encounters a cast of eccentric characters and ponders the meaning of life, to his soul-crushing office job, where he battles boredom and bureaucracy, Matt finds adventure and enlightenment in the most unlikely of places. He explores the vastness of the internet, getting lost in endless rabbit holes of information and marveling at the power of technology. He navigates the ups and downs of relationships, from the excitement of new love to the heartbreak of breakups, and searches for true connection in a world that often feels isolating.

Matt's travels take him to far-flung corners of the globe, where he encounters different cultures and ways of life, and gains a new appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the world. He indulges in culinary delights, exploring the culture and politics of food, and ponders the future of food in a changing world. He confronts the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, and searches for hope in the face of these daunting threats.

Through it all, Matt searches for meaning in life, exploring different philosophies and perspectives, and ultimately finding his own unique path to fulfillment. He embraces the unknown, accepts the inevitability of death, and finds beauty in the uncertainty of existence.

Something That Happened is a collection of essays that will make you laugh, think, and appreciate the absurdity of everyday life. Matt's humor and his unique perspective on the world will stay with you long after you finish reading.
