The Pareto principle
The Pareto principle is a principle, named after economist Vilfredo Pareto, that specifies an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs. The principle states that 20% of the invested input is responsible for 80% of the results obtained.

I will never get sick of hearing every version of “Everlong.”
Especially when Dave Grohl explains how he actually plays the guitar like drums.
Lessons are overrated.
The Force Awakens is solid!
I went to a late-night Friday showing of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie. It's great, and not a typical "for guys" type of sci-movie.
If you have never watched Star Wars before but you want some backstory, then I'd suggest watching Empire Strikes Back aka Star Wars 5. If you can watch 4 & 6 then great. The prequal aka 1-3 aren't worth the effort at this point.
I would put The Force Awakens up their with #5 which is the best of the series. I rarely watch a movie twice in the theatre (last movie was The Dark Knight), but this is worth a re-watch.
Are you human?
I tumbled (is it still called that?) all of three times in 2015. A new record. Over lunch I trimmed my people / bots I'm following down to under 90 which I think is almost half.
I find that Tumblr is this impossible to discover anyone real unless they are a brand at this point. Maybe that's the point, but I was drawn here in the early days because there were real humans, doing interesting things. I'm happy to see that I have some friends left here, but how does one discover other real humans here?
One of my favorite albumns of 2015 and a reminder that only occassionally visit here.
Going forward
In hindsight I wish I never would have created my main "blog thing" on my primary Tumblr account. So much of this is/was cathartic and was from a phase of my life where not only was I extremely unhappy but I did not know how to be happy. Pre-divorce, divorcing, post-divorce, and then the beginning and end of a few relationships.
I stopped looking at referrer logs after I realized that people from my past life were actively seeking me out and were reading what was once my soul bleeding. I though maybe I was being paranoid but the locations are unique to the individual and consistent. I was emailed out of anger one time from someone (an ex) who thought that maybe something I wrote was about her and she was mad. Spoiler: it was not.
Blocking someone does not stop them from logging out and checking your blog.
Changing your username does not deter someone from finding your new blog if they have ever liked one of your posts.
Changing your blog url does not stop someone (even if you have blocked them) if one of your friends re-posts one of your funny photos or a post.
Making your account private defeats the purpose of publishing on the web. I have enough folders of writing which I have never published (yes my filter is bad but one exists).
So after many years of not using Tumblr except for keeping up with Internet friends I am considering my options. I can delete my main blog posts and keep this account, friends, and likes… or I can make the blog private and create a new one. Has anyone else ran into this problem? or is anyone even reading this for that matter?
I’ve spent the past year losing 80 lbs and getting in shape. A lot of people have been asking me how I did it; specifics like what diet I was on, how many times a week I worked out, etc etc. So I thought I’d just answer everyone’s questions by giving you guys step by step instructions on how you can achieve everything I have… IN JUST 4 EASY STEPS! Ready? Here we go!!!
I kind of hate to admit how much of this post I once related too. I need to refocus though and start the process over and see what kind of results I can get to. Staring with running again.
Seems apropos to the recent climate in our times. To pretend that in our country there does not exist a layered caste system is to prefer to live in ignorance.

I supported Anita's Kickstarter's project a few years ago. Might be the best money that I've ever spent. Great watch if you want an explanation with of the tactics used to discredit women in technology. If you have never seen this before it's eye-opening.
I stumbled on "American Songwriter's Top 50 Albums of 2013" earlier this year and we are Spotify friends you'll notice that I have worn this playlist out. While more country and American folk alt than I'm typically into, there are some really solid artists here. I trimmed down the list to more of a Top 30 list.
One the standouts for me has been Kacey Musgraves who is both a talented song writer and has an amazing voice. This song is one of my favorites.
For me, the song reminds me of the phase after a relationship ends when you start to re-think everything. My mind wants to distill the relationship into good memories. You or the other person thinks that it is as easy as just being together and everything will work out. You know better and what is right for you yet you wind up in the same place again.
Is it is what is is
I think were thinking too hard, To put on your shoes and get in your car, Put it in drive and point it this way, We don't have to talk, You don't have to stay,
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me, And you ain't got no where that you need to be, Maybe I love you, Maybe I'm just kind of bored, It is what it is Till it ain't, Anymore
We've tried being apart, But the truth is, We are who we are, Were so much alike, It ain't a good thing, Too dumb to give up, Too stubborn to change
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me, And you ain't got no where that you need to be, Maybe I love you, Maybe I'm just kind of bored, It is what it is Till it ain't, Anymore
Till something better comes along, Till what ever we have is gone
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me, And you ain't got no where that you need to be, Maybe I love you, Maybe I'm just kind of bored, It is what it is Till it ain't, Anymore Yea it is what it is, Till it ain't, Anymore
Undone
Last stop on the west coast line South of the northern border One small corner of my mind
Everybody they know me there Don't get any second glances Chances are that they don't care
The world has come undone Like to change it everyday Change don't come at once There's a wave, building before it breaks
Can't wait for election day Witness the occupation Corporations rule the day
Well you know the pendulum throws Farther out to the one side swinging Has to sweep back the other way
The world has come undone Another day and who can wait Change don't come at once It's a wave, building before it breaks
All this hope and nowhere to go This is how I used to feel but no more
The world has come undone Like a game if you can play Change don't come from one It's a wave, building before it breaks
Happy 100th Birthday Bill
From one Lawrencian to another. Happy birthday Bill. You died before I moved to Lawrence but your mark remains here. I don't think a week has gone by since I moved here that I haven't seen some reminder that your influence continues to live on.
“My photography is mainly focused on my work making movies, which I’ve done my whole life,” he said in a phone interview. “I think I have a perspective that not many people have. And I get to take advantage of all of the strange sources of light on a set.”

Random thought: The word dying is an example of how horrible the english language is. I almost used the word dieing but I knew a few of my grammar nerd friends would want to know what I was cutting, forming, or stamping. Not to mention why I have been doing so for three days. Instead if I look back later on this post my sub-conscience wonder why I felt the need to dye something and why it took so long. Don't even get me started on the word diet.
So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her. Let her go.
Wise words.
