Run, Hide, Retreat, Surrender
She delivers sermons and speeches, implores you to get the hell out of the city.
“We’d be so much happier,” she says.
You could quit your jobs and run away like you used to, back when you did things just because, and because it felt good to run away, and because you didn’t worry so much like you do now…just because and leave the assholes behind and fuck ‘em...

Comparing personal design style with my dream man
I believe I am too young to commit to just one personal design style, forever, at this time. I am still dating different styles, experimenting, exploring, learning… When I’m older (maybe in a day or a week or 10 years) and ready, the right style will show itself when I least expect it. And it won’t be perfect, but it will be perfect for me… I believe this to be the organic...

An Open Letter to 2011, for 2012
*Note: This post was previously entitled “Jillian Loves Metaphors”, but was later changed when I realized it wasn’t so catchy.
This time of year always brings a reflective quality with it. Many underestimate the importance of this, or deem it “mushy”, and brush it off as they rush through the holidays and into a new year. These same people probably hit January 1st...

JOHN PAUL: An Open Letter to Chick-Fil-A →
jpbrammer:
To Chick-Fil-A, Truett Cathy, and the WinShape Foundation:
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you saying that I can no longer, in good conscience, patronize your establishment. Nor can I partake of your delicious, succulent, juicy chicken. I mean, I would like to. Oh trust me, I would!…

A Note for "Rapture Day"
I want to share a personal story in honor of today’s supposedly-claimed “Rapture Day”.
When I was about 10 years old, I had a friend who lived in my neighborhood who was a year older. We lived very close and went to school together. Her family was pretty heavily Christian (and when I say her family I mean her and her single mother) while I was brought up in a pretty...

My goodbye to my name twin, Jillian Lanier
It’s taken me all day to be able to write something coherent…I just found out at work and have been in shock all day. Jillian, my name twin, I always walk past your house to see if your lights on. I did so yesterday and thought - I haven’t talk to Jillian in a while, I should give her a call to say hey. Because that’s how our relationship was. Go for a bit being busy with...

A Soliloquy
A few weeks ago I mentioned on Twitter I’m using a top-of-the-line 13” MacBook Air as my primary machine. The 27” behemoth of an iMac is gone: I sold it to a kindly soul on Twitter, and watched him as he threw his weight to one side and awkwardly dragged the…
