Watch this Man

Well, he's been around for a while... but I still mention him.

Takashi Murakami.

Is he the Japanese Warhol? Well at least in his business model: http://english.kaikaikiki.co.jp/whatskaikaikiki/

The Few

There are always a few definitive individuals in any given era. 

That is to say, these individuals define the era. 

John Cage is one of them.

They question all authorities (sources of normalcy, institutions) (though not for contemptible reasons) and pursue items that intrigue them for their own intrinsic value... They don't do this for anything but their own personal benefit; however, they are consequently working for general welfare of all people.

Others who do this? Andrew Carnegie; Leonardo DaVinci; etc.

This, I believe, is one key to success. 

Yes, I love Ayn Rand's novels. 

Life Needs Episodes

I sit here. Squashed with realization: Life needs adventure, characters and honest pursuit of a good time.

This dawned on me as I read Ed Templeton's Blog [http://www.toymachine.com/ed/2009/05/] and I love these skateboarding photos.
