We also see relational drama between celebrities being broadcast over twitter feeds and hollywood news outlets. […]
Noise, Hurry, and Crowds
What do you think about this statement? How about the fact that it was written long before most of you were born — a much more simple time, for sure. Noise. Hurry. Crowds. How do these three words define your life? If you measured each of those areas, on a scale from 1 t0 10, […]
