no money mo problems
“Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have...

For the 99%
I encourage the people sharing their stories to view how they might be perceived by those they are fighting against. For instance, a piece of paper that says you have a masters doesn’t mean anything more than you found the financial resources to earn a degree and did your homework to receive the certificate. The degree means nothing. Your brain means something. Show people you are smart.

ryan: “why are there food scraps all over the kitchen?” me: “i was in a hurry to eat.” ryan: “i see.” me: “well, somebody had to make a huge fucking mess all over the house.” ryan: “yeah, somebody had to live like a shameless fucking pig of a bitch”
And that is why my new favorite phrase is “Pig of a bitch.”

Grandpa
In the 1970s, my grandpa lived in Anchorage, Alaska, hosting people from all over the world. He’s been hosting couchsurfers since way before couchsurfing.org. It’s something wonderful to help a traveler, someone who is interested in experiencing other ways of life. In the early 1980s, he decided to move back to the Lower 48.
My grandpa built himself a home in the mountains of northern...

sum up your childhood in four paragraphs
It all started the day I came out of a vagina. I don’t like to think about it, mostly because I don’t remember it, so I doubt I could recall it accurately, anyway. That was in Anchorage, Alaska. I am told within the first two weeks of life, my dad had me on the back of a motorcycle, sailing on a boat, and flying in a plane. I’m going to guess my mom thought it was cool. I would...

"Dealing" with clients
I come across a fair amount of content written within and for the web design industry that often has a tone of “the client is dumb and you, begrudgingly have to teach them what is obviously right.” It’s rude and it’s unhealthy.
Stuff like this:
Then, out of nowhere, a senior manager says, “I think we need to change the blue on the top bar. It doesn’t feel right. I showed...

Plan for mobile production home
Purchase RV.
Install film and art production facilities.

Install small garden on roof somehow.

Just kidding. They will be regular brownies.

You want some advice?
If you want some advice, you’ve probably been thinking for a while. Stop doing that, and go make something already. Stop looking for advice. Stop waiting for inspiration to strike. Stop reading stupid productivity books, business books, start-up books, business magazines (unless it’s Harvard Business Review — that’s a good one), dumb-ass-top-5-whatever blog posts, and use the...

Go to your cave, make something, ask everyone to tell you how to make it better. Get some harsh critiques, suffer, cry, have the humility and humbleness to pick out and accept the truths in the critiques and use them. Keep doing it until you know in your heart and your gut, you are the shit.
