“We are accustomed to repeating the cliche, and to believing, that ‘our most precious resource is our children.’ But we have plenty of children to go around, God knows, and as with Doritos, we can always make more. The true scarcity we face is of practicing adults, of people who know how marginal, how fragile, how finite their lives and their stories and their ambitions really are but who find value in this knowledge, even a sense of strange comfort, because they know their condition is universal, is shared.” — Michael Chabon (Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son) (via bunkercomplex)

I “liked” my one-thousand’s tumblr post today. Soon I will scan through them all and wince in horror at a multitude of posts now disliked. Maybe I’ll reblog some of my faves as well.

Toby: It’s activist vacation, is what it is. Spring break for anarchist wannabes. The black t-shirts, the gas masks? Fashion accessories.
Officer: “These kids today with the hair and the clothes.”
Toby: Alright, that’s it flatfoot.
Officer: I got great feet.
Toby: You want to know the benefits of free trade? Food is cheaper.
Officer: Yes.
Toby: Food is cheaper! Clothes are cheaper. Steel is cheaper. Cars are cheaper. Phone service is cheaper. You feel me building a rhythm here? That’s because I’m a speech writer - I know how to make a point.
Officer: Toby…
Toby: It lowers prices, it raises income. You see what I did with ‘lowers’ and ‘raises’ there?
Officer: Yes.
Toby Ziegler: It’s called the science of listener attention. We did repetition, we did floating opposites, and now you end with the one that’s not like the others. Ready? (pause) Free Trade Stops Wars. (pause) And that’s it. Free trade stops wars! And we figure out a way to fix the rest. One world, one peace … I’m sure I’ve seen that on a sign somewhere.
Officer: God, Toby. Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone around with the communication skills who could go in there and tell them that?
Toby: Shut up.
You know that feeling you get when you happen to find and friend one of your first loves on facebook, and it turns out she’s married to some lame b-movie telemundo soap opera extra and for a split second you think about dropping everything and dedicating the rest of your days trying to convince her to leave him and live with you. And that maybe, just maybe, you’ll finally be free from all the relationship fears and fetishes you’ve managed to develop in the 11 years since she left, if only she’ll say, with all her heart and soul, that she never stopped loving you? Yeah. Fuck facebook.
