Stereotypy

why are all of your photos from the eighties taken of you holding tiny weights?

"for the next thirty minutes, i'm answering all the questions i can.

about 'orville'.

ask me anything.

about orville."

he was the freshman homecoming prince, and was a football player. just goes to show you that the disgruntled, antisocial neckbeard-in-a-trenchcoat school shooter stereotype isn't necessarily the case

that reminds me of this quote from ira glass that i love inserting whenever tangentially appropriate.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But it's like there is this gap. For the first couple years that you're making stuff, what you're making isn't so good. It’s not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not that good.

But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is kind of a disappointment to you. A lot of people never get past that phase. They quit.

Everybody I know who does interesting, creative work they went through years where they had really good taste and they could tell that what they were making wasn't as good as they wanted it to be. They knew it fell short. Everybody goes through that.

And if you are just starting out or if you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you're going to finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you're going to catch up and close that gap. And the work you're making will be as good as your ambitions.

lol, it's like the trendy equivalent of venti, grande, and the other coffee size.

i just say small medium and large at coldstone.
