After webstalking homegirl for an amount of time I am loath to disclose, I enshrine thee as the newest inductee into the hall of women I desperately want to be/befriend/BEDAZZLE WITH A MILLION SPARKLY SPECKS OF MY LOVE AND KEEP IN MY CLOSET TO TROT OUT ON DAYS WHEN I FEEL WITLESS AND DRAB. You are twisted and fantastic and one of the (admittedly many) mind-bending bits of my monthly Wired sub. 

I’m also aware my Tumblr has pretty much devolved into me vomiting adjectives all over the objects of my sporadic fawning — SORRY NOT SORRY that my love don’t cost a thing but unfiltered narratives and skillful appropriation of ebonics. Everyone’s got something that reduces them to red-alert stans, amirite???

Don't Try: My Father's Horniness →

My father, Dave Robert Shepard Sr., died on either December 30th or December 31st, depending on what time zone you were in. I received the call on the 30th at 11:30PM in Los Angeles, but the caller, positioned in Detroit, was two hours deep into the 31st. He was dead at 62 years old. Small cell…

I knew there was a reason he landed all the blonde babes of Hollywood. Hats off to Dax Shepard and this vivid, funny, sweet, and achingly honest account of his dad’s last days. Shepard Sr. sounds like quite the character himself.

An oldie, but this song always gets right to the heart of it. Because really, what is there to say, but how I love You?

"To work as hard as possible, and then, when you think you’re done, to work just a little bit harder. To know that if it feels “right” it may actually be completely wrong, and that if it feels “wrong” it may be completely right. There’s no governing principle to any of this except that strange instinct and feeling within yourself that you simply have to learn to trust, but which is always unreliably changing. To create something for people who have not been born yet. To pay attention to how it actually feels to be alive, to the lies you tell yourself and others. Not to overreach—but also not to get too comfortable with your own work. To avoid giving in to either self-doubt or self-confidence, depending on your leaning, and especially to resist giving over your opinion of yourself to others—which means not to seek fame or recognition, which can restrain rather than open your possibility for artistic development. With all this in mind, not to expect anything and to be grateful for any true, non-exploitative opportunity that presents itself, however modest. And to understand that being able to say “I don’t know what to do with my life” is an incredible privilege that 99% of the rest of the world will never enjoy."

Chris Ware’s advice to those struggling with creative work, in a delightful interview that’s chock full of his hard-earned wisdom and trademark self-effacement with Rookie Magazine. (via livefromthenypl)
