a teen who predicts the future
Gus burst into my room and shouted, 'I have wonderful news!' and I was like, 'I don't really want to hear wonderful news right now,' and Gus said, 'This is wonderful news you want to hear,' and I asked him, 'Fine, what is it?' and he said, 'You are going to live a good long life filled with great and terrible moments you cannot even imagine yet!”

"My partner, Bruce Tribbensee, and I worked a day job together. During lunch we would go out and complain about our boss....
We went out to lunch and made a list of things that sucked. One of the things that I thought sucked, as a writer, was sending out stories to magazines.
Our initial idea was to create a social network, where everybody was either a writer or a publisher. Writers could find organizations that were looking for particular pieces.
The plan was to move into art, then music. We would just be this creator, publisher social network. We called it SubmishMash.
We named the company after something we thought sucked. That is like naming shoes after the sound they make stepping into dog crap."

Agnes, who danced in the dark.
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
