I'm taking it one day at a time and I guess that's all I can do.
Commerce and art are natural enemies. And also, the enemy of good is great. And the enemy of great is good, so there's this huge juggling that's going on all the time.
Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.
If you spend enough time reading or writing, you find a voice, but you also find certain tastes. You find certain writers who when they write, it makes your own brain voice like a tuning fork, and you just resonate with them.

That's what they wanted you to believe, anyway.
Sometimes our technical specification is slightly ahead of the industry standard - therefore we like working with vendors who are flexible enough to invest in developing appropriate solutions. Their Adaptive EDGE Architecture is in line with our campus strategy.
The section that failed was probably built around 1895. The design life of our structures is 50 years, so it's more than doubled its design life.
The summer concerts in Stone Park have been one of my passions.
Gentlemen, welcome to the world of reality – there is no audience. No one to applaud, to admire. No one to see you. Do you understand? Here is the truth – actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one. No one queues up to see it. No one is interested.
