Steve Jobs

You have to trust in something—your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever—because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

tanya77: mikehudack: aaronwhite: thegongshow: Caterina Fake’s recipe for a focused, productive day.  Very cool (and very nicely designed). I wish I had the self-discipline to implement this, but both the nature of my job and the way my mind spins hold me back. ——————singletasking (via caterina) This would work great if it was 1999 and/or you didn’t work in business.

bonerparty: nothing beats chicago women in the summertime. nothing. i dont care where you’re from, who you know, any other advice you’ve heard along the way, the uplifting quotes youve heard and thought “hey that defines me”, any words of wisdom spoken by an elder, a parent, a loved one, anything. chicago women in the summer have lived through the winter and still have a little bit of the winter-beer-gut and you can blow farts on it alllll through the summer. its fucking rad. and you get to sit out on the back porch and drink beers and listen to whatever the fuck twee album Drag City just put out and chill the fuuuuck ouuuut. you cant do that in LA - nobody really has “porches” so to speak - and you cant do it in New York - well, sort of, but its “because some guy wants to make a point about porches” or some shit. so heres to porches and chicago women. its the best of both worlds. wooden structures and milkfed 8’s from Eau Claire who can cook a decent omelette. fucking win.

Things I will miss about Chicago

heather-rivers:

  • Hitchcock Movies in the Park
  • People knowing who Wesley Willis is
  • Daaaa Bears!
  • Stopping by the Ghirardelli downtown for free samples so much that they probably have our pictures behind the counter
  • The Art Institute, one of the few museums I could actually live in
  • How each miserable winter unites us all in commiseration
  • How each miserable summer unites us all in commiseration
  • How that one nice week each spring and fall unites us all in joyful appreciation
  • Harold’s Fried the Chicken King! My favorite Fail
  • Riding my bike along the beautiful lake shore
  • B.L.U.E.S.
  • The ten or twelve other people in the city who don’t give a shit about baseball
  • My genuinely beloved alma mater
  • People watching on the red line
  • How French people react when they find out you live in la cité des gangsters: Al Capooone! Pow-pow! Ouaaai!
  • Deep dish “pizza”
  • Descartes on Michigan when it’s cold and wet
  • The bright green Chicago River on St. Patrick’s Day
  • Funky Pilsen coffee shops, including but not limited to Kristoffer’s and the Jumping Bean
  • Living three blocks from Obama’s house before he moved to DC
  • The Point at any point
  • Regina, Paulina and Lunt

i will soon have to put the list like this myself :)
