Actually it’s very easy, I don’t have to put on a tie!

Hugh Hefner

on cbs sunday morning, after being asked how he keeps his honest, straight-forward image alive.  while obviously apparent, this runs a bit deeper.  he’s doing something that truly represents him.

he’s not putting on a uniform for some other man.

We’re moving product, while the soul drowns like a cat in a well.

Quitting the Paint Factory by Mark Slouka (via gina)

funny that i came across this before a small announcement i’ll have tomorrow.  ideal that it shared something that’s been in the back of my head for a long time (the whole essay is worth reading, focus in on the story of sherwood anderson).

guard your mind and guard your mind’s time.

When you live in NYC for too long, it’s common to forget what you originally came to do.

I just got back from a weekend up in the Adirondacks — shingling the roof of this new shed, chopping wood to heat a sauna, playing soccer with a big group friends — and it snuck up on me this morning upon waking up in Brooklyn, “Oh yeah, I came here to make $$$ so I could afford to live a peaceful life someplace naturally beautiful, where I can build sheds and play soccer all of the time.”

Folks, this internet shit is really addicting. Let’s spend some more time thinking about why we do it.

this is a powerful lesson my dad taught me a while ago. lots of times in life, you have to endure what you have capacity for in order to create opportunity for the rest of your life.
