No More Pictures →

Nicely articulated bit about documenting and not living life … which isn’t especially novel anymore - and this is the good thing! Seeing more and more of this type of sentiment bubbling up. There’s something to be said for whipping out a camera and taking a quick picture to remember something special, it’s another thing entirely to live only through still shots — and having to be beautiful / handsome / mysterious throughout the documentation process. It’s too much -
— long time shirker of ‘pose for picture’ duty; decades of my life have and will continue to be undocumented. unless it’s my cats or my garden…
EDIT: MJS - if you didn’t yank me into the frame I would have *no* pictures of myself. So, thank you ;)

No different than sticking one’s head inside a sewer to verify it smells. Yes, it smells. Did you have to stick your head inside to determine a sewer stinks? Nope. Do you regret sticking your head inside the FB sewer? Yes, yes I do.

I wish you could take Bill Cunningham as a daily supplement; I would be far happier.

“As art gets cheaper, the cheaper the art. While everybody was busy celebrating the Internet for providing a free outlet for aspiring rockers to get their music out there, did anyone stop to notice just how much garbage was being created in the name of rock and roll? Far from being music’s savior, the Internet has become its sewage system.”

Was reading elsewhere that they’re resurrecting 120 Minutes along with this link to an archive site. First started looking at the 20-yrs ago playlist from May ‘91 - and progressed to 1988, the year I started watching - and - gah. Not so much nostalgia, but jealousy … I have neither the time available nor the good music to listen to as I did back then.
Can Men In Hip Expensive Pseudo-Business Attire Who Make Decisions choose to have MTV13 or something which does nothing but re-air old programming from 20 years ago (commercials and all)? I’d pay for that.

I go from zero to starving in like 5 mins. I was thinking of skipping dinner at 6p and now I can’t get to the kitchen fast enough.
Whoopee.
