@drdoombot “assumption is the mother of all fuckups”. -Random bad guy in Under Siege 2. To be honest your quote is much better.. i just love that line from US2
That quote is from the collective formed to bring you I wrote this for you
I Wrote This For You is a series of micro-stories about a character called “You.”
It is not an advice column.
I Wrote This For You was started in July of 2007 by Iain Thomas and Jon Ellis, who met one day in a shady backroom on the internet, although they’ve never actually met in real life.
The main reason behind this is that the words (Iain Thomas) live in South Africa while the pictures (Jon Ellis) live in Japan. Naturally, this makes it hard to pop round for a cup of tea.
I Wrote This For You is published 5 days a week except around about Christmas time when everyone takes a well deserved break.
“Iain Thomas… and his blog partner Jon Ellis have never met, but they produce one of the most elegant blogs in the world, in my opinion: “I WROTE THIS FOR YOU”
It’s uncommonly simple and surprisingly powerful, because each entry is a magical photo by Jon, who lives in Japan, accompanied by a wonderfully spare caption by Iain, who lives in South Africa. His words are written in a way that is ambiguous, seemingly random, yet somehow this uncertainty allows us to inject our own meaning into the words and picture. And this simple combination likewise allows everyone to connect with it in their own way. That’s what elegance is: the ability to create what appears to be a simple, seemingly incomplete story but that fosters multiple meanings while achieving universal resonance. “
