    Goddamn it Peter for US PRESIDENT. Happy birthday, sir. Thank you for distracting me from a super stressful career sometimes and giving me a calming outlet allowing me to fall asleep sometimes, watching someone who loves what they do. That you can thrive and prosper on a passion was a news article until I observed you. I would love to bonsai. But it's a fantasy. Too much work. I learned more about what I DON'T want observing you. I'm a little happier because of your videos. And I'm not ashamed to overwork in my profession. We all have a place.
