“

Life is easy: it’s all about addition and/or subtraction. Want to lose weight? Work out more and/or eat less. Want to be rich? Work more and/or spend less.

You can never be too rich or too thin in America, so that’s pretty much all you need to do to achieve the American dream. Our society rewards us automatically for these things anyway. It’s finding satisfaction with life after you’ve achieved these simple goals that’s the challenging part.

we get these at work now, along with honey nut cheerios and tiny bags of cracker-jacks. it’s like they want me to lose myself in a reverie of crumby backseats during interminable roadtrips, or sitting by my baby brother’s playpen watching the smurfs and she-ra on saturday mornings in my “little miss trouble” nightgown, in between wrap reports and conference calls. weird.

tuneage:

Dave Brubeck - “Take Five”

1 2 3 4 5. Jazz standards that I was exposed to for the first time in high school always seem shorter when I listen again years later. This one in particular makes me grasp at the air for more music. I just want to live my life within the undulations of this classic tune, is that too much to ask?!

Paul Desmond’s incredible chart and frustratingly simple alto saxophone melody will live on forever, and for any jazz newbie this is required listening.

This will always make me think of my dad.

29. Dear Don Draper, My boss called me at 10pm and asked me to come into work at 6am the next day. How would you handle a situation like this?

Finish your drink and go to bed. Show up at 5am with a smile. If that clown can’t manage a full day’s notice, his job will be yours sooner than you think.

“

Think of something from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there.

After all, you really were there at the time, weren’t you? How else would you remember it? But here is the bombshell: you weren’t there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made. If that doesn’t make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, read it again until it does, because it is important.

I spend 80% of my day with headphones on with no music playing.

Oh, shit. Me too. Despite what my Digsby says, most of the time it’s just paused on Viva La Vida.

The girl in the window - St. Petersburg Times:

the selflessness and generosity of the people who helped Danielle is astounding. they all took such personal interest in rehabilitating this unlucky little girl. the biological mother, on the other hand, cannot comprehend that she did anything wrong. that is infuriating and all too common. sad.
