And not in a good way?

So I opened up a business recently.  It’s been a really really really tough and grueling process.  I mean real tough.  I feel that I’ve invested my heart and soul in this and then some.

Most people have been appreciative and have given compliments and many have given constructive criticism – which I’ve welcomed and appreciated because hey, I’m still new at this at this is this is still very much a work in process.  But the people I haven’t been able to understand are the people that have shit on what I’m doing without any regard or consideration for the effort it has taken me to get this far.  I mean, these people are basically TRYING to run me out of business.  If I had a shit ton of money, if I were a corporation, I could hire a pro and do this seamlessly.  But I’m not that.  I don’t have enough money to hire pros to do this – I just have my drive and my family keeping me going.  So why are these people (who are pro small business owner, I guarantee it) shitting on the little guy so much?  Why the hate?


See, temptation?  See  how awesomely disciplined I am?


I know this because silly people are too afraid to tell people they care about what’s really on their mind.

Instead, I will play this little diddley I heard on the radio today:


His regular commuters surprised this bus driver on his birthday.

Really really cool stuff – made me cry.


We all know the song (and we remembered it that one time during the VW campaign) – but have you seen the video?


Video directed by Spike Jonze.

And speaking of drunk girls, I had a glass of wine last night that produced a massive headache.  I’m not a drunk girl – I don’t deserve this bullshit.


Happy Wednesday.

Here is something inspiring from a few years back:

I love Gondry’s videos, but too bad that ETERNAL SUNSHINE was the only full length feature that was worth a damn. I wonder why that is.


I’m a little late discovering this, I know – but that still won’t stop me from enjoying this awesomeness:


I didn’t love JUNKY all that much, but hey – it’s still an interesting story and a part of the American experience.  And below is a link to some of the more interesting Burroughs’ covers.  Some foreign ones in there too.

And came to a conclusion that you don’t fail by making mistakes.

You fail by making the same mistakes over and over again while expecting a different outcome.

Somebody’s told me this before, but it feels a whole lot better to feel this and realize it on my own. At a cost, of course.
