“After ample consideration of the upward thrust we have just ridden, I think it would be inscrutable to take this company in a new and exciting direction. Inter-managerial relations are in the midst of an orgiastic flurry of reinvention and reassessment. We need to have all of our aces in the hole and all of our best men on the job. It’s time to solidify the investors’ desires and get anal about our technical development. We fixed up that axe wound from our last bust well, we just need to remember to cover our assets. The back-end approach we’ve been taking could be revamped and overhauled. We will be moving bilaterally, and urging all of you to hang on. It may be hard at first but if we all get our hands a little dirty and put our nose to the grindstone, I believe we can have at ‘er and see this through to the climax. After all, we don’t want to have egg on our face. We want to come out smiling.

:: July 21 . 1964 ::
Future baseball Hall-of-Famer and U.S. senator Jim Bunning pitches a perfect game for the Philadelphia Phillies, the first perfect game in the National League in 84 years.
Those who know me may not consider me a perfectionist as I normally have food in my hair, I often end my sentences in prepositions and I honestly don’t do much at all. But, in my imperfect little heart, I desire absolute compliance with my utopian ideals.
Knowing that perfection is not a logical or sustainable choice really does nothing to deter my unconscious.
Instead of beginning and succeeding at projects, I set my sights on the infallible end goal. Any failure on my part to live up to my expectations causes such projects to be forgotten.
Perfection only exists in math.

The ever amazing Canadian orchestral pop band, the Heavy Blinkers, deserve lots and lots of attention. Unfortunately, their official page is down at the moment. In the meantime, I made a little site to serve the purpose.
I am still working on it but while you wait, there are myriad other Blinkers resources out there. You just need to hunt. In the meantime, you can also go buy their music or listen to a song or two:
The Heavy Blinkers – I Used To Be A Design
The Heavy Blinkers – Tribute To Sparrow
