things on my mind

Leonard Cohen. His magic with words.

Cartoonists. Their ability to use so few words yet get their message so sharply across.

Motivation.

Happiness.

Speeches. Good ones. Not so good ones. The ones that shouldn't have been done. Others that should have.

Internet arguments. Their futility. Actually, the futility of all arguments.

Time. And how it's running out. For everyone.

Kids. and this quote from C.M Wallace: 'If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff they tell you when they're little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they're big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff'.

and this post on addictions by Seth Godin "we needed the eggs": "Just because it appears productive, just because you bought it in a store or got promoted for it at work doesn't mean it's not addictive and worth managing."
