Yet another affirmation of my decision to move to PDX.

“It’s unclear who did this or why?”

There is no why. Asking that question is like asking what is the nature of man or why the sun rises. Because they could. Because it was a good idea. Because a generation of latch key kids were raised by their NES’s.

Perfection Quote

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” – Voltaire

I used to be a perfectionist, but it cost me way too much time, frustration and hassle in life. I focus on getting what needs to be done, done. I have learned where to focus my perfectionism.

Classic Cobain Quote

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” – Kurt Cobain

Don’t bother wanting to be other people or want what other people have it is a waste of time and a waste of yourself.

Randomly encountered this video today, hooked me for some reason. Immi really loved this song and wanted me to play it over. Seems like a summer acoustic song.

Always Remember Me

by Ry Cuming (Feat. Sara Bareilles)

Two by two lovers stand on the beach in Santa Monica
Pretty eyes, long hair, smells so sweet like summer in the air

watch me as i fall
into the water calling
watch me as i sink
into the sea and always remember
me

Come back, back to me, back to where the mountains meet the sea
we’ll build a house of driftwood and keep it simple ’cause simple is good

watch me as i fall
into the water calling
watch me as i sink
into the sea and always remember
me

Always Remember Me on VEVO

The best line/quotable from this song is:

“We’ll build a house of driftwood and keep it simple ’cause simple is good”

Keep it simple because simple is good -- sounds like a new mantra to me

I still remember playing Oregon Trail computer game on the first computer I ever used, the Apple II at my elementary school. Love the creativity behind this one, parodying all of the parts of the game brought back some serious memories. Now that I live in Oregon it is even funnier.

Carnegie Convinced Quote

“A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still” – Dale Carnegie

We should stop trying to convince people so much and focus efforts on teaching children the critical thinking they will need to form their own opinions later in life.

“If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.” – Murphy’s Law

It is the fifth way that I keep trying to preempt.

Killer Simpsons Quote

“You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is ‘never try’.” – Homer Simpson

I don’t try new things, I do them. I give them my all and low and behold rarely do I fail. When I fail I learn because that is what failing is for.
