    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

Get Some Shit Done

A slow exposure picture of traffic moving across a road at night.

Lately whenever I feel like I’m working on empty, I listen to this song on repeat and get some shit done :).



My favorite lyrics from this are:

Let’s pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen,
Lets pretend things would have been no different,
Pretend he procrastinated had no motivation,
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin,
They could blow away with the wind…


I love that. Sometimes you just have to grind it out until you get to where you want to be.

And of course I’m listening to Eminem completely differently now after learning about his cadence switchups. Anyway, just thought I’d post this real quick (at 2:30 am, because that’s how I do things lol) in case this might help somebody else out there. What kind of stuff do you listen to when you’re trying to get going??
