It's over 200 dollars. I live in a tiny apartment, soon going to have a roommate, and financial problems are obvious by the clothes I wear, but I will spend money for that. Because it is FUCKING AMAZING.

[@andrewboley1900]

Imagine how many soggy hotdogs he could make with over 200 dollars.

[@JulsGil]

Someone really buyed it xD

[@macdizzie9379]

Once upon a time a hundred million years or days ago or so, a loungy and loiterous boy leaned against a fencepost overlooking the alley where many marvelous mouldy muppets had gathered once again for an annual convention on the meaning of buttons and thread and the stuttering dread soaking into the bread and up through the cracks in the warm woolen sacks that the boy on the hill spent his long days and nights and fingers knitting with huge oaken oars carved with care from the bam bam tree and oiled with grease and painted with purple greenish peas squished underfoot the way gramps used to do it back when people still took pride in the way they grew through the grates on the west side of the house in curly pearly plumages in a roundabout way toward the sky where the lack of peas was made up for in breeze and birds with their perilous turds in the sparkling air with me floating there with naught but a care for the swirling inferno of bluebirds all attached at the wingtips interlocked in a fearsome formation and criss-crossing my eyes in a way no one could possibly say was natural or by chance or even pretty to look at so I shaved the gooseflesh on my back and gritted my eyes and stepped down out of the maelstrom back into the world of overreading expressions on eyebrows and shaving mine off so no one knows what I am thinking even as I check the mail with the wrong key first and the woodchipper takes it all away onto the conveyor belt and it’s melted down into a carefully sorted sludge at the mailsludge factory where the industrious workers are sworn to never smile or flinch or leave or ask for a raise because after all they get to take home a few tablespoons of the good stuff every day if they want it to smear about on the walls of their dingy dungeons and swallow at dejectedly over a cup of a smaller cup and a large plate of unrelated sludge which isn’t really that good for you but it’s not all the bad either so go ahead and eat up buddy it’ll fill your belly and give you something to fall asleep on and wake up tomorrow with fresh goals and cardboard burps through the dull throbbing immaculate spin of the lesser orb and believe it or not after all this trouble Jimmy down the street still doesn’t know how to triangulate the distance between care-free and unconscious and he still parks in the fire lane and he still swaddles his babies in roofing tar which actually works surprisingly well and looks pretty enough to get his babies stolen from the fridge at work a lot and he doesn’t even complain which is very commendable in an utterly frigid sort of way we’d all like to see a little more of in ourselves but don’t have the emotional mobility to switch gears so quick because when we found one thing thing*we like why should we order something else and risk being served something we don’t like even a little bit les so I’ll stick to ordering sog dogs everywhere I go and if someone has a problem with me boiling the bun with the wiener for the soggiest approach possible they can go stand in the rain for a few years until they really prune up and fall apart into little bite-sized chucks that rumbly-tumble into the storm d rain and head towards the ocean but get clogged up in a pipe somewhere and back up the whole system with entire towns submerged and washed off the map and everyone that can’t swim will take huge gulps of fleshy water and soggy buns will fill their lungs and they’ll never be hungry again thanks to your naïve sog dog dogging and the worst part is you won’t even be around to regret it while the world sloshes around flailing for the life buoy with short quick breaths and dead eyes and little dense flocks of birds flitting about overhead between unseen resting spots somewhere deep in the roasted horizon where the edges of the map are grizzled and cracked into double quarter stacked paddy-whacked sick and hack looking quacks ‘scribing Prozac for plaque but no word of sixpack cutback or slacking back to the soundtrack of the great haystack needle-search ransacking the countryside because people aren’t careful enough to use a blade of dry grass as a needle when they think they need metal to get started so procrastination sets in just a little bit like a mild case of the plague and we smirk and wink at it because it’s probably not that bad it’s probably nothing to worry about it’s probably benign and if I get caught up in some other stuff I’ll have a good excuse not to think about it for a little longer or at least long enough to get drop dead exhausted and just fall asleep without thinking about anything ever again in this sleepy little world of sheets and humming fans whirring air across the rug into my poor little face reclined on the pummeled pigeon-down pillow lined with only the best rat fur monopoly money could buy in those damp fog-soaked days when it was wise to breathe out more than in if you had any lung control left or access to a nice pair of bellows . - Peter

[@macdizzie9379]

I have too much free time

[@macdizzie9379]

i tried to write it just as peter did.

[@faridanurieva1512]

[@ohyphn9687]

[@faith9934]

Good ol gramps. Always squishin those peas the right way. Bless his soul.

[@browja90]

HAHAHA

[@rebeckasvanberg6450]

When you just listen to the sounds of the words and not the story they tell they float together. Some stand out but most of them get forgotten amongst the others. I feel like a child listening to a calmingly, beautiful bedtime story. The beauty doesn't lie within the words, it is the words.

[@tina9866]

wow this is really poetic.. I love that

[@rebeckasvanberg6450]

+Marieke Haas Thank you. I'm poetic when sleepy! I can't help it.

[@anna46792]

Is it weird that i feel like that listening to most of Peter's longer videos? The way he speaks, the rhythm, his tone of voice, all of that is just so soothing to listen to, very much like a bedtime story.

[@mkaylafolsom5249]

this is some type of beautiful that I don't understand.

[@ryanmunguia637]

let's make cupcakes not war |||| It's not art we are used to, it is -oxi- slightly emo like writing that some us crave.

[@natashagoodman567]

I DIED AT THAT PART

[@KingYetiCrew]

[@taravaligonzalez]

In an utterly frigid sort of way

[@via2592]

It makes sense for a while and then you think back to what happened in the story a minute ago and then you realise that you have no idea how they could possibly relate... Love it!!!!

[@merlinthatwizardguy8576]

"People aren't careful enough to use a dried up blade of grass as a needle when they think they need metal to get started". I really love this line idk why

[@annoxx399]

im literally reading this while that part was on

[@abisz007007]

This sounds like a story your autosuggest would write

[@OneCreativeConcept]

It sounds so much better than that. All the words run together so fluidly with similar sounds to all the words. I could fall asleep hearing this sentence

Yeah, he could do some killer illustrations too.

[@laurenperkins8960]

[@gojoubabee]

Think of how amazing this world would be if all children were raised on Peter's voice and train of thought! I approve.

Is it time to animate this, or is it time to animate this?

[@fruit5003]

It is definitely time to animate this.

That's a long run-on sentence.

[@zellafae]

[@FilAsians]

thewiseturtle Awh, that's nice. Cool assignment.

[@firewordsparkler]

It's not a run-on if it's grammatically correct, which this seems to be.

[@ItsRadagast]

Please write and illustrate a childrens book. I'm a grown ass man, and I would even read the shit out of it.

[@spripe4723]

smh jimmy doesn't even know how to triangulate the distance between carefree and unconscious.

[@oceancurrent6571]

Colson Utter 😂 lol he's so dumb everyone knows how's to triangulate

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

Not to mention he still parks in the fire lane smh.

[@ainateer1260]

I still go back to this every now and then and have a listen or two (or ten), this is one of the greatest things that's on the Internet. Every time I listen to it, I notice something new, or at least interpret something a little bit differently, even though I've heard every word of it many, many times by now. It has put both me, my boyfriend and our dog to sleep many times as I find it relaxing to listen to a story like this when I can't fall asleep on my own. Thank you for this masterpiece, Peter. You truly are amazing.

[@ravenbil6870]

This is oddly beautiful. Thanks Peter, keep up the good work!

I never thought hypnotism was possible until I watched this video.

I really wanna remember this word for word

[@adg1017]

Incredible... This needs to be a book... With oodles of doodles...

[@LilMissBugsie]

You have a beautiful brain. Please take us on a wonderful word-journey again soon.

[@secretssoup]

Every time I start having a panic attack I come to this video and it's weirdly soothing just listening to all of these random words strung together without any particular meaning. It helps me start breathing again and I'm grateful it exists

[@jasminenorbert4484]

my mind has been confused

[@BunhieKleever]

Splendidly spilled out in a not so subtle style. It's like Dr. Suess and Douglas Adams had a child and now I'm watching his video. Toilet paper art, receipt tape reading, how I would love to be a guest at your house.

[@pittbully4765]

I actually fell asleep to this… You have won my subscription

[@vvapourstruck]

[@PlatinXD]

That's genius.

[@hay7896]

you look like some kind of letter-monk at the end

[@asakichu]

this was strangely pleasing and satisfying. thank you Peter.

[@angel16231]

This seems like it took a very long time to edit. I love your story and drawings, your imagination is incredible.

[@maximielos]

Peter, your crazy things and your voice give me so much inspiration. Thanks for existing.

[@jacobbrown1876]

This is by far my favorite channel, I don't know what I'd do without it. Love u Peter, your channel always inspires me to create.

[@rebeccahughes8734]

I feel like this morning as I sit waiting for work to start, I've stumbled upon a deep universal truth that I can only understand the very surface of. Absolutely adore this.

[@songkit2312]

I love these. I love these; they give me life. They are your mind. They ARE your mind, and they are beautiful.

[@joshdorcey5716]

I dont know why but that was oddly calming

[@leodore__5912]

This makes me want to sleep, it's so elegant even though there's no.. path. It's so awesome and I love the way he speeds as the words flow perfectly with the voice over. Ah, I love Peter, he dos the best.

[@Ryanguitare]

Im watching this and i actually almost cried it was so beautiful! I love the positivity of being creative! We need more people like you in this world! Love on man!✌🏼️

[@birdofprayer2870]

Laughs until cries but then realizes there's more depth in these tears than just the funnies. Such humanity and palpable intelligence in beautifully spontaneous silliness.

[@Apostate_ofmind]

Your voice sounds, in this piece, like someone gently tumbling down the stairs, a step in the dark, the terrifying sensation of your feet soaring through the air, convinced of one more step that isnt, but so slow and pacific, so rithmyc and calm, to be majestic, a slinky in foreverfall. Dont even get me started on the calligraphy.

[@jellyjam-xg8hk]

Go outside on a warm summer night, and lay on the cool soft grass listening to this repeating it over... and over and over until you drift off watching the stars glistening in the black velvet sky, and you hear the crickets chirping their orchestral tune so beatifully crafted. As you slip off into your wildest dreams giving you a rush of excitement...

[@marie_es]

Peter, I don't know of you'll ever see this, but I saw this video three years ago when you first posted it and ever since I've come back here in the middle of anxiety attacks and somehow it calms me. Thanks you so much for this video. It's isn't really that good for me, but it's not all that bad either. Thank you, Peter.

[@TheTadpoie]

Words are my lines, because my hands can't steady themselves enough to put pen to paper and make what everyone calls art. It's nice to see you put my kind of line onto paper, and it's still just as vague and interpretive as the lines you usually draw. I approve.

[@zachsimcox2039]

I just love the idea of a guy going to look in the fridge at work to find his baby is missing but then sort of shrugging it off! Well written Peter!

[@LemonGhandiMan]

I loved it. I thank you for still providing all the utterly glorious content you still do after the many bewitched years that have been laid upon us, thank you for bringing joy to the people who love you, and the many times I wish to meet you an shake your hand, and I know I can't, but I still wish, it may never happen, it may happen sooner than you think, anyway, I hope you enjoy your day, and....... I don't know....... Go draw your depiction of happiness.

[@rashot0m782]

I cannot put into words how much I love this. Peter has a little pathway into the human brain that he journeys down to find the biggest and loveliest nuggets of imagination. I adore you Peter.

[@maddyk6186]

Peter your voice is so oddly soothing, and this story is super great. Thanks for being awesome my dude.

[@MadameCorgi]

5:29 someone needs to make a 'Peter Draws unintentional ASMR compilation video' XD

[@elsye8678]

I'm in tears and I can't really explain why, this was just so soothing and beautiful thank you Peter 🖤

[@lynxielynxchannel]

Even though this run-on sentence made zero sense by the end, your doodling skills and calming voice totally made up for it.

[@jillkay5121]

Wow - I enjoyed this quite a lot. Even though that wasn't really like something that would be considered a story by everyone, I liked the way you just put one image after another - which somehow makes sense.

[@memsus2346]

Please do more like this. Its relaxing, a story that is united in one sentence but depicts so many scenes and emotions and thoughts in a non-stop non-sensical non-thump. Even if you don't do something like this again, I think you should do short poems, because it would still be very you. Sometimes when I draw or compose I write a sentence or two to explain context or emotion to further the experience for the audience by involving their imagination. Idk, just an idea. Keep up the great work.

[@sossnoss]

that would be a perfect thing to hang up on your ceiling so on restless nights you can read the story and soon fall asleep

[@gordonhewitt7766]

Peter > Dr. Seuss > Shakespeare

[@wild_egg_bush]

HOW DO YOU START WITH NOTHING AND JUST SPIT WORDS OR LINES ONTO SOMETHING AND MAKE IT SO BEAUTIFUL?!

[@thaliacoombs39]

It's so awesome how it just carries on. It's just one long sentence

[@sockmonkey]

Everything you do is amazing. You ARE amazing. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with the world like you do, it means a lot to people, even if they don't share that with you.

[@dhbcodes]

You know, people call 4chan the "random story generator", but you ascend the whole story generation thing to a new level.

[@nikitty.742]

this is like picking the autocorrect button in the middle 500 times

[@TheBlueMan4567]

Ok so I think Peter is insanely smart and knows exactly what people want to hear and see so he masterfully constructed himself as this eccentric artist for people to enjoy.

[@nicoletechiclete]

I love how Peter talks about a lot of stuff and nothing at the same time.. Subscribed 10/10

[@theartproject]

That was the greatest run-on sentence in the history of run-on sentences. (applauding)

[@thepochade5992]

BRILLIANT !!!! Kiddo.. this conjures images of a gorgeous children's book or even an illustration adult picture book ♡♡♡ love it !

[@linzertube]

That was so COOL!!! Especially the end, where you wear the story! Yippee!

[@brookkars6372]

I simply love this, thank you Peter.

[@trinitykummer4762]

I would love another improv story this was great inspiration

[@vivaldirules]

Thank you, Peter "Kerouac" Draws. That was a very enjoyable sentence to watch and listen to.

[@SliceyBunny]

My god, your handwriting is wonderful.

[@gothicanimegirl44]

Please do more of these I love them!

[@pockets8108]

I wonder how amazing it would feel to watch this video again for the first time

[@ELToroPoopoo1]

transfixing the psyche with a continuous story line of gibberish in a run on sentence of intrigue and adventure. love it.

[@jordancox199]

I need more!!!! this is amazing! I love it!

[@Tsicky]

I feel like he should make a story book of this with pictures with his art style. It would work so good.

[@jasminepetrosky4024]

I usually listen to you talking while I do my work but this time I was laughing so much I couldn't concentrate

[@ola_bandola]

I like it how most pricetags in your online art store are in numerical order per item! Merry Christmas and a happy new year

This is some kind of unique that I don't understand. Yet, I love it! You have been my most favorite KZbinr ever... anyone who'd meet you should be honored. :)

[@aaronvixionni2306]

It's calming and inspiring and complete & utter nonsense all at once. I love it to my soul.

[@artybateman2528]

That was particularly spectacular. I loved it, thank you for posting!

[@sheneigh8160]

Your voice was so soothing that I almost fell asleep to your story

[@pierre5325]

Well Peter Sir, I enjoyed your story. You seem to have a great way of building words and sentences. As always thank you. Blessings, pierre from New Mexico

[@videokilledaradiosta]

That Peter was an amazing wholesale proof of purchase perfect bit of performance ART. Thank You Sir it made my day.

[@maddog.monkey]

This is really incredible. The bizarre nature of this style of writing sort of reminds of Kurt Vonnegut, who Peter seems tone a fan of. I would love to see this thing displayed in some museum, although I have no idea how to do it. Would we have to chop it up to get it to lie flat against a wall? Or wrap it around a very long poll? Or maybe just lay it against a very long table, both ends held down like a scroll. Even if it never ends up displayed in a physical space, I'm glad it's here for us to marvel at and enjoy.

[@madeleinepugh9544]

i think this will be forever my favorite video i’ve ever seen

[@Fr0zification]

This is truly the best video I have ever Watched... it made me smile very much

[@angelashipman9197]

I love this Peter! Keep on being creative and weird. You're important!

[@imgay4075]

Peter, you deserve way more views. Keep up the good work dude!

[@clubreo]

You are truly a creatively good guy thanks for doing this video!

[@noahr.7144]

we begged for another one and you have delivered!!

[@karen4you]

Great and in the end makes a good paper garment! I'd like to see you wear that while shopping!

[@sarrahjordan3041]

I dont know why but this really makes me happy. thank you

[@abimedeiros5252]

This is so beautiful

[@いあん]

I'm not even kidding when I say that a big coherent portion of this actually applied to me. That bit on procrastination and sleeping with the wind. Hits close to home man. "so procrastination sets in just a little bit like a mild case of the plague and we smirk and wink at it because it’s probably not that bad it’s probably nothing to worry about it’s probably benign and if I get caught up in some other stuff I’ll have a good excuse not to think about it for a little longer or at least long enough to get drop dead exhausted and just fall asleep without thinking about anything ever again in this sleepy little world of sheets and humming fans whirring air across the rug into my poor little face reclined on the pummeled pigeon-down pillow"

[@JaguarGames1337]

I love your art, this was definitely one of my favorites.

[@mereltje127]

This is the most calming thing ever

Noooooo! I was editing a video with this same idea and now it'll look like I copied my hero. *sigh* I will drown my sorrows by watching more of your videos I suppose. You damn genius.
