that's what d said

i think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself—you know, love interrupts itself. we want things so much that we sabotage them.

—jack white, from the interview magazine piece with he and buzz aldrin. 

today i’m listening to: ball park music/it’s nice to be alive. 

“don’t stress. 

that’s dumb. 

i’m here, 

and it’s nice to be alive.”

and make no mistake about it, you are dumb. you’re a group of incredibly well-educated dumb people. i was there. we all were there. you’re barely functional. there are some screw-ups headed your way. i wish i could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they’re a-coming for ya. it’s a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.

—i wish aaron sorkin had done my commencement speech…

The intellect of man is forced to choose
perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
When all that story’s finished, what’s the news?
In luck or out the toil has left its mark:
That old perplexity an empty purse,
Or the day’s vanity, the night’s remorse.

—william butler yeats

just in case you didn’t know me as an 8 year-old, know these facts:

1. all i asked for every single birthday or christmas was a puppy. i got a cat. 

2. i had a giant poster of a cheetah on my wall (next to michael jordan, duh) until i was probably 12. in addition, i watched the movie “cheetah” over and over until i think i broke the video store’s tape. 

now you will understand my emotional reaction to this video. 

not so peaceful here in nashville, evidently. i want a recount after taking out the ‘boro (right @saucyprossy :) )
