5 Timeless Books of Insight on Fear and the Creative Process by Maria Popova From Monet to Tiger Woods, or why creating rituals and breaking routines don’t have to be conflicting notions. “Creativity is like chasing chickens,” Christoph Niemann once said. Despite our best-argued cases for incremental innovation and creativity via hard work, the myth of the genius and the muse perseveres in how we think about great artists. In the ideal — that is to say, real — artist, fears not only continue to exist, they exist side by side with the desires that complement them, perhaps drive them, certainly feed them. Steven Pressfield is a prolific champion of the creative process, with all its trials and tribulations. Are you paralyzed with fear? There’s hardly a creative bibliophile who hasn’t read, or at least heard of, Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life. There’s nothing wrong with fear; the only mistake is to let it stop you in your tracks.” Athletes know the power of triggering a ritual. Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr

Temple Paris Dude films ex-girlfriend smashing his car, nearly running him over The video opens with a shot of a silver car and a blue-shingled house in the background on a seemingly quiet street in Boston. Then a woman emerges from behind another car across the street, and we hear the person presumably filming it all: “Terri just threatened to bust my windows.” Moments later, chaos ensues. According to the clip's YouTube description, it was shot by Young Wild, the CEO of a record label and lifestyle brand called RaresNoSquares. While we never actually see Young Wild on camera, we hear his voice as a woman referred to as Terri smashes the windows of his car, a window of his house. The Daily Dot could not reach Young Wild or anyone at RaresNoSquares for comment.
basic stitches Stitching or sewing has a history dating back to the prehistoric times. It is believed, with archaeological evidences, that sewing must have come into being since the stone ages, when people had begun to sew to attach pieces of animal skin using needles made of bones, antlers and ivory. They probably must have used threads made of animal parts like veins. As the times progressed and sewing started to become an integral part of life, not only newer methods of sewing styles developed, but many other materials were tried as needles and threads. For many thousands of years, sewing or stitching was done exclusively by hands. Later, machines which helped to assist sewing and weaving were developed. Although sewing or stitching is commonly associated with clothing and fabrics, it must not be forgotten that this skill is used in many other craft areas like making shoes, bags, sporting goods and all those things associated with attaching pieces of fabric. 80 Comments »
