There are truly good people out there. We should all remember that, and try to do better.

There was a ribbon cutting Friday. A non-profit, Macs Potential, opened the Friendly Faces Cafe in Hamilton, NJ, celebrating young bakers with special needs.

@haleyeheidemann
I recently visited Syracuse University and the house where Lou Reed lived while matriculating...I wonder how many took notice of him back then...how many saw his talent before it was so widely celebrated...?

This is your chance.

Eddie Vedder said "I don't know know whether I'm the boxer or the bag...I feel that. But that means it's time to take matters into our own hands - to stand up and focus ahead instead of looking back in nostalgia.

Interested?

@haleyeheidemann
I came across this hand print.
It says "Mike wuz here".

I couldn't help wondering who this Mike was and why he chose to incorrectly spell the message of his legacy...perhaps I lingered longer because of that.

@haleyeheidemann these old boots belonged to my father. He wore them with pride. Stepped with purpose.

He was my hero.

And when he died, I put these boots on in the hopes of continuing his journey.

But I learned he wasn't the man I thought he was...

@haleyeheidemann
they say the first one through the wall gets bloody...but the hole that's made preserves awe for generations.

Breaking from trends and championing an outlier can be risky...but that's how legends are born.

@haleyeheidemann Cookie would like your attention for a moment.

Everyone is chasing nostalgia because the country is drinking out of the toilet.

Stop following trends. Unless you lead the pack, the view never changes.

Throw a stick at what's next.

Happy birthday to me.

A field of #Sunflowers is a sad but beautiful display of obsession. They are but a crowd of #followers staring at their #god. #Gawkers, #Rubberneckers. Dim-witted rubes, staring at an illuminated object as if nothing else matters...by the way, what are you staring at right now?

[Joy Christopher @JoyChristopher_]

There's something about #summers at the #Jerseyshore and the sour sting of lemon on #steamedclams that really takes me #home.

[Joy Christopher @JoyChristopher_]

Why are we drawn to the #dark? To the idea of something #wicked? A #hauntingmoon? The #mystical? ...it's just a little cloud cover and a well timed snap shot.

[Joy Christopher @JoyChristopher_]

I'm afraid of all of U-all of U.
Your misdirected anger & ridicule, lobbed from the cheap seats, thrown like cabbage & tomatoes @ my vulnerability.
Why do I put it on display?
I ask U 4 your worst, beg 4 it, hoping 2 reaching just 1.

What does Two Down mean?

It means...good progress.
You've got some tape in the can.
Things are going well.
There's still more to go, but...
A way of bragging, without bragging.
