Holofernes & Judith
Random thoughts on accomplishing your goals - that I formed based on the artwork from Westside Gunn's "Pray for paris"

A short trail
An algorithm on a server somewhere came to the conclusion it should play me "327" from the album "Pray for Paris" by Westside Gunn. I was enamored by the flow, so I "liked" it. A few days later I revisited the track, diving deeper into the album, gaining an appreciation for the album artwork by Virgil Abloh. It's a remix of a Caravaggio painting. Left to my own devices, I decided to learn more about Caravaggio and his work. He has an exceptional number of beheadings in his work. I found this fascinating - eventually stumbling across one of his works: "Judith Beheading Holofernes". I dove deeper yet; learning about Holofernes.

I'm torn on the outcome here. Holofernes seems like a man with a plan.
