Obama for America: Hi, Tumblr. →
Because anyone who feels that the only thing worse than a politician who’s too busy playing the game to give a shit about fixing anything is a politician who talks a big game about how poisonous the game is and how much more important it is to fix things, then goes right back to playing the game, is a troll.

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.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Time for another 1 + 1 post.
To be different is a negative motive, and no creative thought or created thing grows out of a negative impulse. A negative impulse is always frustrating. And to be different means ‘not like this’ and ‘not like that.’ And the ‘not like’—that’s why postmodernism, with the prefix of ‘post,’ couldn’t work. No negative impulse can work, can produce any happy...

Stages of Alexander McQueen grief:
See his Spring 2010 collection online last night; Think to myself, “those shoes are fucking hideous.”
Feel a bit insecure about my inability to “get” the designs of an apparent fashion genius.
Wake up this morning to find he’s taken his own life.
Feel guilty about my dislike of his collection and any subsequent bad cognitive juju I may have directed toward him,...

One of those tumblrs that posts pictures of pretty ladies in various states of undress in the name of art or fashion or some other fucking thing just lobbed three interesting pictures across the bow of my dashboard.
