crazy school writing
My buddies and I, we all went to law school together, and once we started working in different cities, we all did crazy stuff, and we'd write e-mails to each other about the stuff we would do. And my friends thought my e-mails were really funny and they said, "Dude, why don't you put this up on a Web site. You know people would love to read this."
cute nice writing
To my friends and people I care about, I'm a really nice guy. No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that's not funny. I only write about the funny stuff.
writing identity criticism
Critics stopped being relevant when they stopped writing to inform and contextualize, and when they started writing to signal who they are, to display their identity by their stance on what they are writing about. Criticism should never be about the critic, but thats what it has become, and that’s why no one cares about them anymore.
writing life-is whatever-happens
My writing is authentic, and whatever happens in my life is what I write about.
writing talking laughing
I started writing because it was about making my friends laugh, and when you're talking to your friends, you can't bullshit.
good tells
When your buddy tells you a movie is good, that's worth 2,000 commercials.
anyway clearer great maybe motivated people pick teach work
I think I just pick really smart and motivated people to work with - people who are probably going to do great things anyway - and I just teach them what I know, maybe teach them how to think a little clearer than they did before, and then off they go.
blog business newspapers realized
I started my blog in 2002. That was pre-MySpace, pre-Facebook. That was back before newspapers realized they were going out of business. That was back when no one gave any credence to Internet writers.
women
Women always want the guy that other women want.
success
There is no number or level of success that would make me think, 'Wow, I didn't think that was possible.'
great satisfy
There is always more demand for great content then there will be great content to satisfy it.
people
There aren't a whole lot of people in culture that are unapologetically masculine.
call fans half hated impress love people women
I always laugh when people call me a misogynist. I... love women! Everything I do is to impress women. And if I hated women, why would half my fans be women?
dad divorced flight life mom moved parents rio until year
My parents got divorced when I was around a year old. My dad was essentially a nonentity in my life until I got to be about 16 or so. My mom was a flight attendant for PanAm, so I moved all over the world. London, Rio de Janeiro.
