@AndyMcKenzie Indeed, and I think we both know that in the long run, great stories are what really matter.
When we feel anxiety-producing emotions, we sometimes say the direct opposite of what we actually feel. (Freud's "reaction formation")
2.5 hr exam for school. I spend 30 mins writing a blog post in the blue book (ripped it out). Unable to conquer my bone deep indifference.
Friend pointing to my XXL "The City" hoodie: "Who wears a sweatshirt that's too big even 4 you?" Me: "Someone who's big and getting bigger."
@lindseypollak free doesnt exist. compare cc to mailermailer or aweber.
Killing time in Echo Park near Dodger Stadium, beautiful, cool day. Sun fracturing in thru palm trees. As always a confluence of emotions
Quiznos in downtown LA. First question is "For here or to-go?" Then they take order. A first.
Dreadful task of dealing w/ laundry is remedied slightly by x-mas music in the background. Ah, domestic tasks, how I wish to outsource thee.
@AndyMcKenzie If I despise the person, and hope something bad happens to him/her, and something does, I don't feel guilty.
Planning is a poor second to complex, self-organizing processes. - Jane Jacobs, paraphrased by Richard Florida

There are times in your life when you live each day actively and forge new ground. And other times when you simply let the days pile up.
"If you were in a position of authority on September 11, then every day since has been September 12." - Sec State Condi Rice
Why do we often say an essay or person is "smart"? When it/the person makes *us* feel smart. We love feeling like we "got it."
@mariapacana Quite the social animal!
Did Buffett really coin the "be greedy when others are fearful" quip? I've known that line for yrs. He utters it once and suddenly it's his.
Just watched "meatloaf" clip from "Wedding Crashers." Absolute classic. "I never know what she's doing back there..." http://cli.gs/04Dbpj
"People change: a) thru therapy, b) when you quit a long-term addiction, c) someone important to u dies, or d) through good love." - friend
The grayer and colder it is outside, the cozier it is inside. I like sun, but it is nice at times to try to cultivate coziness in "winter."
