Martin Scorsese and Rolling Stones songs in films. Salvador Dali and melting watches, desert landscapes. Carson McCullers and that specific kind of insanity that festers in the Southern heat and haze. You can tread into these territories, play with these symbols if you want to. But you’ll just end up being compared to someone else – someone who blazed the trail you’re clumsily walking. — Patton Oswalt has a lot of great things to say.

[insert literary reference]: Why Do Men Keep Putting Me in the Girlfriend-Zone?

literaryreference:

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.

But…

This is incredible in every way.

If you’re new at this — and by “new at it,” I mean 15 years in, or even 20 — you’re just starting to get traction. Young musicians believe they should be able to throw a band together and be famous, and anything that’s in their way is unfair and evil. What are you, in your 20s, you picked up a guitar? Give it a minute. — Louis C.K.

Cooking professionally is hard work. Writing is a privilege and a luxury. Anybody who whines about writers block should be forced to clean squid all day. — Anthony Bourdain’s AMA

Portray Kanye-type swagger (because we’re #1), but in a Will Smith way (approachable). —

The social media philosophy of a major American chain, according to a PowerPoint I saw on an employee’s laptop on a flight yesterday. (via megangreenwell)

wtfevolution: “So I was thinking.” “Great, evolution.” “Nobody really needs eyeballs and limbs and all that, right? When you get down to it, all you really need to be alive is an opening for stuff to go in and an opening for stuff to come out.” “Well, yeah, I guess so.” “I might try making things that way for a few million years. ‘Sea cucumbers’ and the like.” “Okay, but it’s not just going to be, like, a tube with a mouth and an anus, is it? That sounds a little crass.” “What if I made it pink?” “I don’t know…” “Oh, and also, it’s going to breathe through the butt end.”
