“ The best piece of advice I can give anyone looking to get started in dolphin fighting is to not spend too much on your first dolphin. Like a first car, a first dolphin will likely get hurt or destroyed in the first 6 months of live fights. You can save tons of cash by heading straight to the dolphin hunting source, instead of dealing with the money hungry dolphin dealers who prowl the fighting circuit for first timers.

“ There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter—the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. […] Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.

E.B. White, Here is New York (via whitneymcn)

From my favorite essay about New York by one of my favorite authors. And now, perhaps, it’s easier to come to New York than anytime in the past 10 years. No more insane security deposits and arrogant landlords. So while there will be a lot of pain for NYC with the economy, will there be more passion?

“ The pirates will finance part of the purchase by selling new Pirate Ransom Backed Securities. The PRBS’s are backed by the cash flows from future ransom payments from hijackings in the Gulf of Aden. Moody’s and S&P have already issued their top investment grade ratings for the PRBS’s.

“ The brevity of the reviews allows for a much greater variety of opinions to be absorbed more rapidly, thus giving the reader a much broader insight into how the record was received across a range of listeners in a shorter amount of time than it would take to read a group of traditional articles. In other words, less means more. Artists House Music: Musebin: Twitter-style Music Reviews

“ These are the locust years for the journalistic profession… But amid all this gloom a few hacks are doing better than ever. These are the first-class passengers of the journalistic world—sitting on upholstered thrones, surrounded by adoring hostesses, while the rest of the profession is crowded into cattle class or getting hurled off the plane. These are the journo-gurus. Adrian Wooldridge
