“Anthony is one of the most gifted basketball weapons on Planet Earth, despite the fact that in his absence Knicks fans have blamed him for everything short of Nicki Minaj’s spot at the Grammy Awards. At some point, it’s wise to remember that he is the Knicks’ most-decorated winner. He is the one with the NCAA ring. He is the one with the Olympic gold medal, souvenirs he was essential in acquiring.”

“

The better you write, the higher you go in Ogilvy & Mather. People who think well, write well.

Woolly minded people write woolly memos, woolly letters and woolly speeches.

Good writing is not a natural gift. You have to learn to write well. Here are 10 hints:

1. Read the Roman-Raphaelson book on writing. Read it three times.

2. Write the way you talk. Naturally.

3. Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.

4. Never use jargon words like reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally. They are hallmarks of a pretentious ass.

5. Never write more than two pages on any subject.

6. Check your quotations.

7. Never send a letter or a memo on the day you write it. Read it aloud the next morning — and then edit it.

8. If it is something important, get a colleague to improve it.

9. Before you send your letter or your memo, make sure it is crystal clear what you want the recipient to do.

10. If you want ACTION, don’t write. Go and tell the guy what you want.

““Maybe…you’ll fall in love with me all over again.”
“Hell,” I said, “I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?”
“Yes. I want to ruin you.”
“Good,” I said. “That’s what I want too.””

Ben Gibbard - (This Is) The Dream Of Evan And Chan (Live Acoustic On KEXP) (by 31b4rt0)

It was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe.
The tile floors glistened; I slowly stirred my drink.
And when you started to sing, you spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly.

I won’t let go, I won’t let go. Even if you say so, oh no.
I’ve tried and tried with no results. I won’t let go, I won’t let go.

He then played every song from nineteen ninety three.
The crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully.
Your eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink,
And it was perfect until the telephone started
Ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off…

“Denver’s Hall of Fame tight end, Shannon Sharpe, kept reciting numbers at the line of scrimmage — three before first down, three before second down, four before third down — that turned out to be the telephone number of the girlfriend of Kansas City’s Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas. With each digit that Sharpe called out, Thomas became more enraged, to the point that he drew two personal foul penalties for pulling and twisting Sharpe’s face mask.”
