“I’ve got a problem with procrastination. And it’s especially bad now, because I’ve got this opportunity to write for a music magazine. The thing is… I know what I should be doing: reaching out to bands, doing interviews, networking with new bands before they get big. I know that it’s going to involve hustling every single day. And I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a loser, but I have trouble getting revved up on any given day to start down the path.”
“Can I give one piece of advice?”
“Sure.”
“Instead of focusing on the million things you need to do to be successful, focus on two or three things you can do to move forward each day. The quickest way out of paralysis is a simple daily routine.”

mudpuppy’s planters (or pods, as they call them) come with a free air plant for US orders — sweet! they have neutral ivory versions, but i love the blue-green ombre glaze on this one.

X-Ray Art

According to artist Nick Veasey, these days everything’s about image. Our society is completely obsessed with it. Whether it’s how we look, where we live, or how we dress, image is all that matters. “I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty,” he says. This explains the essence of his striking X-ray photographs.

In the image above of passengers sitting on a bus, it’s interesting, if slightly morbid, to learn that everyone on the bus is actually the same person – and that person is a dead body, moved around and posed by an undertaker.

Yet they are captivating images that highlight the inner beauty and details often overlooked during daily routine activities. The bus image proved so mesmerizing that it had to be removed from billboards, where it was used as part of an advertising campaign, because it proved too distracting for drivers.

‘One Million Bones’ Massive art installation in Washington, D.C., calls attention to genocide

Rochelle Campbell places bones, crafted by students, artists and activists, in place on the lawn of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on June 8, during a massive installation called One Million Bones. The installation is meant to symbolize a mass grave and is a visible petition for bold action toward an end to genocide and mass atrocities. Picture: Manuel Balce Ceneta / AP

The project mobilized artists and students around the world to create the bones in order to bring attention to genocide and mass atrocities. Picture: Jonathan Ernst / Reuters

“I often joke that my favorite music involves a bearded man singing about his feelings with an acoustic guitar while a woman from Portland plays the cello. Only a vanishingly tiny percentage of my favorite bands actually fit that bill — it’s basically Horse Feathers, Blind Pilot, and a couple others — but the description opens a window to a style that often speaks to me.”

Anonymous asked: He’s gone now. I gave him a second chance and he still chose to ignore me in the long run. He promised he wasn’t “that guy”. I know it makes room for someone better, but I don’t think he’s out there. My faith is gone. Please, big sister from the Internet,…

Amazing. “I don’t want to look like someone would be lucky to have me, I want to look like someone would be lucky to survive me.” Exactly.
