Week in Review (October 9, 2015)

Thanks for stopping by. So, with the start of October, I decided to try something new.

Rather than inundate you on Twitter and Facebook with reminders and ICYMIs, I decided to put together a list of things I wrote this week and just post them here, along with some pictures and videos, a favorite quote, and maybe even some other stuff.

I know you’re excited.

I was in a creative mindset this week, so I wrote more than usual, probably because I’m going away for my fifth wedding anniversary this weekend, like I do every year. So, aside from some Instagram captions, I’m not writing a thing for at least the next four days.

Writing:

• The Success of The Martian Should Inspire All of Us [Medium]

• Marlon Brando Nearly Ruined My Favorite Film [The Passion of Christopher Pierznik]

• “Now What?” [Medium]

Photos/Videos:

• Karl Malone tells a Michael Jordan Story [1989]

• Nas’s Star-Studded 38th Birthday Party [2011]

• Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents” Video Shoot [1995]

• Kevin Smith’s The Flying Car short film [2002]

• Snowfall on Market Street, Philadelphia [1911]

Quote:

“He that can have patience can have what he will.”

– Benjamin Franklin
