“Enough” • Dan Craig
From the sidewalk, I set out
Though the traffic light is against me now.
With my umbrella outside in,
I try to bless the rain
and lean into the wind.
I just say, “oh weather,
I’m still enough for you, i am still enough for you
I am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into.”
Staring down an empty stage
with a cold guitar and a clean white page
I remember how to write my name.
Try and hold the joy and translate the pain
And say, “oh melody,
I’m still enough for you, i am still enough for you
I am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into.”
In these moments I reach out
for a hand to hold
for a little light
and in the evenings i hold on
to the words you wrote on that coldest night
when you said, “oh brother,
I’m still enough for you, i am still enough for you
I am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into.”
"To know how good you are at something requires the same skills as it does to be good at that thing. Which means if you’re absolutely hopeless at something, you lack exactly the skills that you need to know that you’re absolutely hopeless."

Maniacal Rage: The Problem with Facebook's "Places"
Here’s the thing about Facebook that really gets under my skin: They are slowly incorporating the features from every other independent web application on the internet. This is not inherently a problem—companies get bigger and they begin to have the resources to widen their feature set—the issue…

These are the “Paradoxical Commandments of Leadership,” by Kent Keith - a 19 year old.
1. People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
3. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
6. The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
7. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
9. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.
10. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
This song is 100 times more effective done by Marina and the Diamonds. It’s actually sad in its destructive, abusive nature… instead of stupid pop music.
