An Entire Life In Pictures
Do you think anyone has had their picture taken every single day of their life? If it hasn’t happened yet I don’t think it’s that hard to imagine it will happen at some point, cameras are just so damn accessible now.
My daughter is almost four months old and I’d be shocked if either me or my wife haven’t taken at least one picture of her each day since she was born. We’ve done a decent job of archiving them on her Tumblr but I know we missed a few days of posting.
I think that at some point in time, whether it’s done intentionally or not, there will be at least one person who will have had their picture taken at on every single day of their life.
Imagine if someone did this intentionally and managed to archive all the pictures in chronological order. If they lived to 85 that would be and entire life in at least 31,025 pictures, it would be absolutely insane and so emotional to look at them all.
Does anyone know of this happening or taking place right now? I’d love to follow it.
This morning I said I wanted to make an album cover so I threw one together real quick. The album is fake…so is the band…but YOLO so whatevs. Photo via unsplash.
Why No Yea Bitch?
In the final episode of Breaking Bad, when Jesse is set free and drives through the gate he screams but doesn’t let out a signature “Yea Bitch!”. Why? This would have been the perfect time to throw just a tad bit of humor into an otherwise completely grim situation.
A few of my favorite images from my Daily Dirty Instagram photo series I did last year.
BRB, heading to Norway right quick to propose.

The Crossroads of Should and Must
This is the best article I’ve read in a long time about work and life. I usually hate this type of thing because people in the tech community can come across as ungrateful when talking about leaving their jobs to pursue passions, but this is different.
Mad props to alleluia for both having the guts to do what you shoe did while showing respect for her former employer.
*My article that I linked to above references a fictional character who quits their job to “live the dream” in Bali. This is not related to Elle Luna’s story in any way and is coincidence, Bali just sounds like they type of place I’d peace out to if I wanted to get away.
