simplicity

We're all tourists, sort of.

Life is tourism, sort of.

As far as I'm concerned, the dinosaurs still hold the lease on this godforsaken rock.

-Chuck Klosterman

Going along for the ride

"The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to forget about being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that—well, lucky you."

--Philip Roth

hi friend.

love can be so sweet.

           "you can have my heart..

                                                                                         ..and eat it too"

You.

the simple things

instinctive.

Home.

Love.

The gift.

                                             

growing up

Your extraordinary mind.

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea,
pretty and blue, was the earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye,
and my thumb blotted out the planet earth.


I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small

- Neil Armstrong

In your footsteps..

 Always.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same times, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

-Jack Kerouac

The Edge

"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."

- Hunter S. Thompson

the art of knowing

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes 

Art is knowing which ones to keep.

think like a superhero

let go..

I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy.

I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry.

I’m going to let go in style, and even if it kills me-

I’m going to smile.

This is it

“Live this day as if it will be your last.  Remember that you will only find “tomorrow” on the calendars of fools.  Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow.  This is it.  Doomsday.  All you have.  Make it the best day of your year.  The saddest words you can ever utter are, “If I had my life to live over again.” Take the baton, now.  Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight.  Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward.  Your life will never be the same again.”

For you.

life, summed up in one small word..

-The Selby

Pursuit of happiness

no other..

There's no other love like the love for a brother.  

There's no other love like the love from a brother.  

~Astrid Alauda

since you've been gone

“Don’t ask what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. 

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

~Howard Thurman~
