Esquire.com: How To - The Perfect Compliment →
“If a worthwhile compliment needs anything, it is the weight of realization behind it. So I fell back, watched people go about their jobs, the quality of their interactions, the way they looked at their reflection as they walked the street. I registered. And I learned, or started to learn, that a compliment is a partnership, because the pleasure of giving it lies in its effect upon the...

Bought me a lobster shirt today! →
Haven’t been able to stop thinking about this shirt for about a month, so I finally decided to get one. This is one case where ‘if you can’t buy it, blog about it’ didn’t work! So much for not spending money on stuff I don’t need! :)
Appreciate where you are in life.
It’s wonderful to have goals, but I think it’s important to also enjoy the now – what you are learning and experiencing now. If you don’t, how can you reach to your goals? More importantly, I find that sometimes there are lessons that I have had to go through in order to learn certain things. I wasn’t aware of them at the time, but when I look back, there were a few ah-ha moments that now make...
Technology vent: FIX IT!
Yes, thank you tumblr. I know my internet browser at work is outdated. You can stop giving me that annoying neon yellow message because I can’t do anything about it! When I ‘x’ it out once, it should never come back! And your queue is kinda broken- maybe you could fix that.
And blackberry, facebook, whoever- get it together! It’s annoying when I come to rely on facebook...

Gertrude Stein: You can either buy clothes or buy pictures. It's that simple. No one who is not very rich can do both. Pay no attention to your clothes an no attention at all to the mode, and buy clothes for comfort and durability, and you will have the clothes money to buy pictures.
Ernest Hemingway: But even if I never bought any more clothing ever I wouldn't have enough money to buy the Picasso I want.
Gertrude Stein: No. He's out of your range You have to buy the people of your own age- of your own military service group. You'll know them. You'll meet them around the quarter. There are always good new serious painters.
[Dan: That's why I buy comic books.]
This week, I'm looking forward to:
