Your rapidograph pens are fucking dried up, the x-acto blades in your bag are rusty, and your mind is dull. Stop clicking your mouse, get messy, go back to the basics and make something fucking original. If you fucking give up, you will achieve nothing. Saul Bass on failure: Failure is built into creativity... the creative act involves this element of ‘newness’ and ‘experimentalism,’ then one must expect and accept the fucking possibility of failure. Fuck. Intuition is fucking important. The graphic designer’s first fucking consideration is always the size and shape of the format, whether for the printed page or for digital display. What’s important is the fucking drive to see a project through no matter what. Can we all just agree as the greater design community to stop fucking talking about Comic Sans altogether? It’s getting fucking old. Nothing of value comes to you without fucking working at it. Remember it’s called the creative process, it’s not the creative fucking moment. Never let your guard down by thinking you’re fucking good enough. Use your fucking hands. Why are you fucking reading all of this? Get back to work. You won’t get good at anything by doing it a

I hate when people you don't talk to often email you a long email and want to "catch up" via email. I don't want to email you my life story for the last 6 months.

What to do when you notice you're losing your audience? Stammered and talked too much...
- need more context... is this when talking w/friends, giving a presentation to a group... giving a speech to a crowd?PonyBoy
- Show them something interesting.monospaced
- never happened. mostly pre plan strategies but sometimes improvise works if you have a preconception of who you are talking to. try toastmasters.yurimon

just heard this on the police radio.
There was a road block by the police checking for drunk driving i guess.
One guy was stopped. And after speaking with the popo briefly he ditched the car and started running. But he gave the popo his driver licence already LOL. The popo said on the radio he's gonna give the guy 5 minutes head start then his gonna call other popo to wait at his house.- lolmoldero

Got to love amazon. I bought a pair of headphones 6 months ago and one side has suddenly stopped working. I just spoke to an amazon guy on their online chat. I simply said 'my headphones have stopped working' and they are having a replacement sent out to me tomorrow (sunday). Literally no questions asked.
- That's arriving tomorrow not being sent tomorrow. I might have to start saying more things have stopped working.********
- now plug in that jack correctly and sell the replacement.uan
- yeah, but sad that you have to return the faulty one :)sted
- They have little competition too.********

My computer set-up is getting out of date, my car is falling apart, I feel so wasteful if I buy new things.
- Fuck new things. I just switched from iPhone 4 this month. My last MBP was 7 years old when I switched. New cars are for insecure people with low self-esteem.nb
- My next car is going to be minivan, and I'm not even planning to have kids. Fuck everyone's opinion!nb
- (or maybe an electric car, because it might be a decade or two before I replace my old car....)nb
- i have this problem. I am incredibly cheap. cheap cheap cheap. it drives my family nuts. I'm looking for a 1965-72 vw Bug right now actually. $3,000 max.shellie
- planning on driving it until it explodes, and then probably just replace the engine. so basically, 20+ years or until they outlaw gasoline.shellie

god dammit..
so out basement has been broken into, again..
twice in a year.. the same year which coincidently aligns perfectly with they new housing corporation who purchased the building.
not to mention it comes at a time where they are in the middle of a massive push to get a whole bunch of the tenants out, or at least "temporarily" relocated ..
of course there is no proof, so this is all speculation.
but yep, its all very convenient that as soon as they bring builders into the house, our shit gets raided, again.
- they only stole a bike, but its the second bike in a year which has been stolen.. so we are not sure how the insurance is going to react.autoflavour
- not to mention the previous 5 years of living here we have felt super safe here.. and its not like the area has gotten worse.. its actually gentrified a lot..autoflavour
- maybe thats the problem, because its gentrified people now target it.autoflavour
- or just someone knows that your basement is an easy target and keeps coming back... this sht happens, get a cam :)sted

Not only was my last freelance gig managed poorly but now the guy is giving me the run around on payment. He is a friend but he pretends to be doing well and he probably isn't since he is giving me these run-arounds. Unless he is only being a jerk, nevertheless it is making him look like an asshole.
