MAD GIRL’S LOVE SONG

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan’s men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you’d return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

  1. An untended garden quickly becomes a field: plant what you want to grow.
  2. Have partners, but don’t do the same things: make sure you both do something you enjoy.
  3. Hire people for what they can teach you, not for what you can teach them.
  4. Everyone should be able to take criticism: creative trust is built on critical honesty.
  5. Design is only one part of the puzzle: savor the discussion, development, debate, and dissemination of your work just as much as the making of it.
  6. Goals may be arbitrary, but not having them will be maddening when there’s no one else to tell you if you’re doing a good job: set 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year goals at the outset.
  7. When you take your favorite clients out to lunch, it’s a good time to propose what you’d like to do together next.
  8. Knowing more designers doesn’t necessarily translate into having good clients: spend your development time wisely.
  9. Be known for something: it helps.
  10. You will never work harder than when you’re building something: find balance. Sometimes the best way to solve a creative problem is to take a vacation or read a book.

The fastest white rapper tackles a quintessential grammar pet peeve – the difference between “your” and “you’re” – via a Gotye parody. Very, very NSFW, very, very educational. 

The best things since The Elements of Style rap.

All the heroes are dead. And the real heroes are the parents. Dying is a very simple thing. I’ve looked at death and really I know. If I should have died it would have been very easy for me. Quite the easiest thing I ever did. But the people at home do not realize that. They suffer a thousand times more.
Ernest Hemingway’s letter to his parents after being severely wounded in Italy during WWI, from this collection of young Hemingway’s letters.  (via explore-blog)
