“If knowing is half the battle, the other half must be Googling.”

Truth.

It’s subjective if others’ eyes for fashion trends, color, and balance seem better or worse than your own. There is more than one direction for popular music, hot neighborhoods, and any other way you spend your cash. (Some even consider it fashionable to spend as little cash as  possible.)

There is constant debate over how to measure the intelligence, but we can agree that no one mind is superior in all things to every other mind.

Our minds are programed by other people, intentionally or not. That is why we have dog people and cat people. Beatles and Elvis. Punks and politicians.

You know more than those poor, under-informed fools, but someone knows all you know and more, you konw. I know because if you were the wold’s authority on a particular subject you’d be turning over every rock for answers. If you don’t understand that, then you’re the real fool here.

There are people who dedicate their lives to reach perfection. It’s been my understanding they can never make it there on their own.

You should never look down on anyone.

You will, of course, because you are human.

Try to forgive yourself, and then keep practicing.

“You have a blog? Really?”

“Yeah. I have a couple, actually. I have one where I write longer stuff, mostly about me. Another is a shorter stuff, not as much about me. Then there are other places to write stuff not about me at all.”

“Does the one about you impress the girls for you?”

“Probably not. It does seem like mostly women read my blog, but they’re all married friends. I would prefer girls not discover me by way of my inner monologue.”

“I’ve always wanted to listen in on my husband’s inner monologue.”

Maybe there is a much simpler approach to music and music videos, especially when it comes to creating a new sound experience…

I just asked Cindy if she wanted me to order her usual chicken and broccoli from the Chinese restaurant.

“Sure. … No, wait! I always get chicken and broccoli. I have chicken and broccoli dishes at home, even. Order me something else. Shrimp. And snow peas.”

This made me think of my favorite scene in all of the television I’ve ever seen.

“My name is George. I’m unemployed and I live with my parents.”

“I’m Victoria. Hi.”

Strangely, my life did not change after I had the shrimp with snow peas that day.

I read the Economist every week. Have done so since 1997. I guess it takes a while for the results to take effect. when should it kick in, 2017?

Sometimes I think that in 100 years, this — i.e., the miraculous and oddly sweet combination of a completely unambitious and lo-fi song and show — will go down as pretty much the greatest achievement of my (now completely lost) generation. I have mixed emotions about that, but on the whole, I guess there could be worse things to be associated with. (viddie via Carles)

My brother used to watch this as a kid, so I saw it because of him. I bet I never saw the opening credits before tonight — I would walk into a room mid-show and it would already be on. The character I remember best is Artie, who is both the strongest man in the world and the most childlike being you could encounter. What a terrific person to think of.

I personally feel this captures the grunge aesthetic.

I see your sarcasm, and no doubt Kurt Cobain was writhing in the grave. And here I’m going to reveal myself once again in hopeless earnestness. But it would be interesting to see a deconstructed routine, where someone breaks down the basic, predictable form of an ice dance or gymnastics competitive routine into the really raw required technical bits (which those of us not in the industry don’t get and can barely see most of the time) and the dance-y performance elements, and then tosses them back together in a way that helps everyone see them a new way.

With that said, the jeans should not have been bleached — only acid-washed jeans would have been worse — and there had to be another way to tie back his hair without borrowing Bruce Springsteen’s bandana.

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass (via OkGo)

The most musical and colorful Rube Goldberg machine ever.

Damian Kulash had previously said that OK Go’s record label wouldn’t allow people to embed their videos, so I don’t know why we’re allowed to embed this. Perhaps the underwriting from State Farm made the difference, or the label changed its position. Either way, enjoy.
