Stay positive

cleversimon:

I try to be a positive person. I try not to talk shit about people behind their backs. I try to find silver linings. I try to fix problems instead of just complaining about them. I try not to use sarcasm as a weapon. I try not to hide behind passive-aggression. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. I try to step back from things when they make me too angry. I try to focus on the big picture, the long game, the grander scale at which things tend to work out okay. I don’t always succeed, but I try.

This is Clever Simon. If you are not currently reading him, I think you are probably doing yourself a disservice. Maybe you are trying to focus on your own thing now, and can’t afford to read some random tumblr, that’s cool, keep on trucking. But if you’re reading tons of tumblrs that present you with hundreds of Philosoraptors or whatever meme is cool these days… Well then you really have no excuse. It’s not a zero sum game for you. It’ll be all pro, no con. So get on it. Follow Simon.

With all due respect to anyone who likes this, I think it’s absurd.


I’m with Repose. Typing on spray paint is awful and messy. The color on my plastic keys barely lasts a month, how long will this last? Design isn’t colorways; design is lasting usability.

Vivian Maier - Her Discovered Work
“Vivian Maier, a street photographer from the 1950s - 1970s. Vivian’s work was discovered at an auction here in Chicago where she lived for 50 years but was originally a native to France. Her discovered work includes between 30-40,000 mostly medium format negatives. Born February 1, 1926 and deceased on Tuesday, April 21, 2009.”
(thanks, sween)


Amazing. The whole notion that Maier’s work has gone undiscovered until now is tremendously exciting and somewhat tragic. I could easily have grown up seeing her photos on LIFE, National Geographic, or Time.

This is kind of pathetic and sad, but I can’t remember my first kiss. Neither the incident, nor the person. Is that normal? Can your remember your first Kiss? Who was it, when, what were the circumstances?
