"a strong and warm wind from the south: a big fish in a small pond, a stubborn blackberry seed stuck in my teeth."There are times where I like to daydream about an imagined future where - and this could be many decades or centuries after today - where somewhere, anyplace, those who remain at least somewhat literate will sit and drink coffee and ( Read more... )

Well I guess that means I don't have to email the Craigslist ad back that I saw... you still have the same email these days?

posteverything October 3 2007, 19:06:52 UTC

Hmmm, well we might as well talk business through here...I don't see why not. Y'all interested in a space?

rudeboyzach October 3 2007, 19:12:34 UTC

Heck, we'd be interested in space and helping with the gallery.

posteverything October 3 2007, 19:19:56 UTC

We're at 3219 Troost, feel free to drop by and take a look around. The spaces aren't finished yet but we have about half of them reserved already. They go as low as $100/month (8' X 8') and as high as $295/month (10'X19').

I would give out my e-mail address and phone # here but you know how that goes...

i don't have time to reply to this properly, but i wanted to comment on this: Also the visceral reaction I get whenever people do things like replace the word "you" with the letter U, it doesn't matter if it's just a text message. Yuck.

agreed. i send much higher caliber text messages than that.

posteverything October 3 2007, 20:54:27 UTC

Yeah! It's just that sometimes, I don't know about you, but it makes me feel a little self-conscious, like maybe I shouldn't take text messaging that seriously. And that people are laughing at me, about the whole thing. :(

cardiorrhexis October 4 2007, 13:08:17 UTC

Not at all. Textual messaging should be taken somewhat seriously.
Maybe if you were 12 the use of "u" would be considered more acceptable, but we are adults here.

Nobody is laughing at you ;)

"idk my bff jill"

Yeah, that stuff kills me. I think about all the times I spent as a kid at the library, looking at the old-school card catalogues and learning the Dewey decimal system and such but now it's come to this...

People probably should laugh at me, though.

Hi again, and you're so lucky, Favorite. :)

posteverything October 13 2007, 15:48:56 UTC

I agree that I'm lucky. :) But being somebody's favorite, that's a lot of pressure! I have trouble enough going in public restrooms if somebody else is in there...

koni October 14 2007, 05:01:38 UTC

I'll try not to make it too intense.

Seriously, though. I envy your ability to fulfill a vision. I'm scared I never will do anything so awesome.

posteverything October 23 2007, 18:50:58 UTC

You've done a lot of awesome things. Shit, you've been to China. The closest I've ever been to that is Chinatown in San Francisco.

You fulfill your own visions just fine, I believe.

dusty_chenille October 3 2007, 23:16:29 UTC

yay for your posting to suddenly blow across this f-list like a perfect autumn leaf.

posteverything October 13 2007, 15:46:02 UTC

Well, autumn is kind of my time. :) I tend to do more of just about everything in every department. They say that testosterone levels are highest in autumn. Maybe that's it; I need all the help I can get o'er here.

dusty_chenille October 13 2007, 15:59:28 UTC

yay testosterone!

I had that 'waiting for autumn' cd you made way back when, on a drive through new england last week. thank you again for that.

posteverything October 23 2007, 18:49:47 UTC

Aw, well you're welcome. I still listen to "Someday, Another Highway." :)

Following a life in live journal is sometimes like watching a train racing by and struggling to untangle the lives of the occupants as they flicker behind smudged windows. The train keeps going by over and over and sometimes the occupants are dancing, sometimes weeping and so often context eludes. Sometimes the train has curtains and sometimes I can just make out someone's fuzzy bunny slippers ( ... )

posteverything October 13 2007, 15:42:52 UTC

Thank you, old friend. To me business is really just a means to an end, I guess just like anything else, and just like anything else it should be conducted with the notions of being honorable, and fair, in the back of our minds. At the very least, to just be able to look at myself in the mirror in the morning and to be able to go to sleep at night. And at the end of everything, too, to be able to look upon it all and be able to say "Well...it looked like I did what I thought was right." Which I think is very important in this kind of world. No matter where it actually "gets" you.

"All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take."

- Gandhi

You will become the choices you make. We all end our days as the sum of the actions we have taken based on those choices. Sometimes I find that a demoralizing thought, for I have made some extraordinarily poor choices and acted upon them. But I know it to be true.

Even if this business is just a stepping stone to somewhere else, a business relationship is also a relationship and will impact another's life. Treat those relationships as you would any other.

I'm not sure when I became such a preachy fuddy duddy.
