.: Typically Not A Good Day :.

Lost my job. Again.

BUT I took a good set of pictures.

and an old friend posted this on his FB:

.: Do Not Watch This ...:.

..unless you've an entire hour to dedicate to the entire video. I've mention this in a past blog entry and it very much affected my life then. However, I'd only seen a much abbreviated version of this presentation. Here it is the entirety. Thank you Dr. Kim for reminding me of this lecture....


[1:01:38]...President Cohen, when I told him I was going to do this talk, he said, please tell them about having fun, because that’s what I remember you for. And I said, I can do that, but it’s kind of like a fish talking about the importance of water. I mean I don’t know how to not have fun. I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there’s no other way to play it. So my next piece of advice is, you just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. ... Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.

.: The Mad Ones :.

from Jack Kerouac:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
