“

The wall is there because you want it to be there. It stops you because you want it to.

When you’re ready, it’ll fade away. And reveal the dreams beyond.

“to have feelings for a person
is taking all your time thinking
of things to say to that someone
staying up late into crackhead hours
then waking up to drink cups after cups of coffee
as you realize you’ve just smoked all your cigarettes
but still have nothing to say but ‘how are you’”

kari-shma: marco: The Tumblr Backup app is ready for its first...

The Tumblr Backup app is ready for its first beta testing.

Download (Mac OS X, requires 10.5 or higher)

Unlike other publishing sites’ approach to backups, our goal was to create a useful copy of your blog’s content that can be viewed on any computer, burned to a CD, or hosted as an archive of static HTML files.

Wherever possible, we use simple file formats. Our backup structure is optimized for Mac OS X’s Spotlight for searching and Quick Look for browsing, and we’ll try to use the same structure and achieve the same benefits on other platforms.

Release notes:

Sorry, there’s no Windows version yet.

The output is minimally styled in a plain theme to ensure complete backups, zero external requirements, and a consistent data structure. Custom theme code is included in the backup as a separate file.

To view the backup in a browser, open the index.html file.

Photosets are not yet fully downloaded. (Next version.)

The following are not backed up:

Private tumblelogs

Submissions

Notes

Feed-imported posts

Audio files from reblogged posts

You can launch the app every few days and re-run the backup in the same place, and it effectively performs an incremental media backup: image and audio files are only re-downloaded if they don’t already exist in the target folder. Text content and post data are re-downloaded in full every time.

If you have private posts, be careful if you make the backup publicly available. Private posts are included in a private folder, and their images or audio files are included in the standard images and audio folders.

Are you a programmer? Each post’s XML data, as specified by our API, is embedded inside an easily-parsed-out HTML comment in each post’s HTML file, in case you want to do anything cool with it.

To report bugs, email me. Thanks.

no matter how much I have to shell out for a ticket.

There comes a time, when you learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you. You learn to be thankful and to take care of many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about.

There comes a time when you realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you…and in the process a sense of peace and calm is born of acceptance.

The Time Has Come...

mundaneisme:

Since I can’t write any more of this paper and it is afterall, December, it’s time for a look back at this year, specifically what I’ve learned. So here we go.

2009 In Review:

Birthdays are only as great as the people you spend them with.

The best kind of love is the kind you give away, to someone, something or otherwise.

Make time for yourself. Take time for yourself.

Friends are 100% without a doubt the most important people in your life. They are, afterall, the family you make for yourself. Choose wisely.

Your past will inevitably find you at a most inconvenient time. You can either confront and overcome it or succumb to what you thought was great at the time. That is a true test of character.

People can change, but only if they want to, independently. You can’t and won’t change anyone.

A life without best friends around is not a life worth living, no matter how much money, how much fame, how much respect you could earn away from them.

There is no such thing as a sure thing. Even your family will let you down at some point.

We only have ourselves to blame for the situations we create.

You’re going to screw up. How you recover from that demonstrates what kind of person you are.

There is nothing better than eating some crow and finding forgiveness.

Often, the best advice you can take is your very own.

Second chances are just like lottery tickets; you can give out a million of them, but only a few are actually worth anything.

Keeping secrets never works. Eventually, you will be found out, and you will have five minutes to do something about it, whatever that something might be.

There are still truly great people in this big, bad world, who make nice gestures and can be thoughtful completely on their own, no praise or thanks necessary.

A lot of people simply refuse to grow up. Don’t feel obligated to babysit them.

Always advocate for yourself. You’re the only one looking out for YOU, afterall.

Make new friends, always. But don’t ever forget about the old ones.

It’s been quite the year. My guess is that it only gets better from here.

"What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what..."

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:52:19 -0500

““What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

Things People Shouldn’t Grow Out Of But Do

Blanket Forts.

Rolling down hills sideways.

High fives.

Acrostic poems.

Believing in time travel.

LA Lights shoes.

Lego.

Drawing.

Things People Should Grow Out Of But Don’t

Chuck Palahniuk

Crocs.

Dressing comfortably at all times.

Megan Fox.

Surf brand clothing.

Ice cream served on a cone.

Oh no you didn’t.

I agree with with everything minus the last thing. Ice cream served on a cone creates many wondrous desserts and/or life-changing birthday cakes, not to mention an excellent accessory to the gingerbread-chocolate house you may or may not someday move into, okay? Okay.
