Whitney Houston

—How Will I Know (Acappella)

jakefogelnest:

Whitney Houston’s isolated vocal track on “How Will I Know.” 

Fan or not, it’s hard to deny that she was one of the good ones. If you lived through the 90s, and managed to retain your optimism, there’s a good chance she helped you out somewhere along the way.

(via pitchfork)

If you want to be truly intimidating, if you want to make an impact, if you want to have a strong connection with others, just be sincere. Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying you’re a sarcastic person is like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because you never have to take a stance. And that’s just the problem; It’s so noncommittal. Be yourself, even if that means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere.

—John Mayer

Crazy wind today.

Twist.

When I was in high school, I wanted to start a band.

A post-hardcore rock band.

Instead, I worked at a law firm and made money.

Now that I’m in law school, I’m in a band.

An acoustic singer/songwriter duo.

The twist? I don’t make money.
