Dear part of my brain that obsesses about stupid people that don’t deserve you and kicks yourself for situations that have been over for a long time:
I am putting you on a diet.
I know I have been a lax thought monitor.

If you attended the lecture from animator Bill Plympton at Museum of the Moving Image the other night, the word that is indelibly burned into your brain is INDEPENDENT.

Rob Brezsny writes a weekly astrology column and has authored an awesome book called Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World is Conspiring To Shower You With Blessings.
