frank chimero

is one smart, inspring dude. I found this entire article really moving, but here's a quote I can relate to especially lately:

I was thinking back to what it was like being in school, and god, it feels a lot like being that little particle. You’re somewhere trapped between past, present, and future. You’re not in the present, because there’s a part of you that feels like life is on hold until school’s done, and you know that most of the information you’re being taught is somehow dated. Yet, all of this is done in service to your future. And while all the world around you is moving and shifting, you’re essentially in none of these places, waiting to see where you will reappear, and if the world is in the same spot as when you vanished or if the earth has somehow shifted under your feet. You’re a part of the world, but you are in a cocoon and incubating. You’re moving faster than light and learning all of these new things, and yet you know that it’s not nearly enough. Simultaneously, it is all much too much to do.

ahh so strange when someone so eloquently state they way you've always felt about something. Frank Chimero has really has a gift with language, and I just may have to get this book he's been working on. Click here to read the rest of his talk.
