Rest in Peace
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
Things I haven't had time to address
1. There was a dead spider in my salad at lunch the other day.
2. My Lit professor made the statement that San Francisco is a city of "people who don't belong."
3. He also can't pronounce 90% of the words in our native language.
4. The new St. Vincent album is great.
The Tree Has Fallen Far from the Apple
Why do I have to act as intermediary between Apple and its third party retailer? And which one is lying to me?
Some People
I've noticed that when I'm talking to some people, generally when I'm listing or describing things, they are silently and just so barely mouthing everything I say to them. It's as though they can't comprehend what I'm saying without saying it back to themselves, except without actually saying it. It basically just looks like their mouth is having a seizure.
I'm so glad I'm not like that.
For at least one reason
I'm not sure if I listen to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti because I feel like I'm supposed to listen to it or because I actually like it.
