Mac: ok side note...
Mac: NYC has 55 billionaires
Mac: we need to find their offspring.
So does that mean we wouldn't need to worry about our resumes anymore :} ?

Let me stand next to your fire
What drives you? Have you forgotton? I know I have. That little voice inside my head is all too often ignored in the face of necessity, buried under a to-do list with a millions things on it.
My goal for this year is to rediscover my passion. I want to feel again and create. I miss the feeling of clay between my fingers, the click of a 35 mm camera and the grittiness of charcoal under my nails.

Great white lie
On my favorite sitcom Arrested Development, one character Maebe lies for fun. At the tender age of 14 she takes a tour of a studio lot and through a hilarious series of events, convinces everyone that she's a studio head. Sometimes she quips "Okay, now I'm just lying for no reason...."
I have never been much of a liar. I was always told that it's easier to tell the truth because it always comes out in the end. I guess my qualm with all that has always been defining the difference between lying and twisting the truth. What's a white lie here and there if the truth doesn't matter anyway? Ignorance is bliss?
BF: "When did you stay at the Clarion?!?!?"
B.: "Uh...isn't that an eye drop?!!"
I'm such a bad liar.
I've never lied on a resume. It really only hurts yourself if you lie on a resume because then you're unable to complete a task you said you capable of. I have worded things in a way that makes me sound more special than I am. But is that lying?

Good & great
In this blog about self centered blogging:
"Truly great leaders (level 5) share a number of mostly-common traits. One of them is crediting others (looking out the window) for success and taking responsibility (looking in the mirror) for failures."
When blogging for pleasure self-centered blogging is to be expected. When blogging for professional reasons, write what others want to read.
