currently listening to: heads will roll by the yeah yeah yeahs

75 and sunny
come spend the day in san diego!












care about what other people think,
and you will always be their prisoner.

what is more important: fame or integrity.
what is more valuable: money or happiness.
what is more dangerous: success or failure.
if you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never be fulfilled.
if your happiness depends on money,
you will never be happy.
be content with what you have
and take joy in the way things are.
when you realize you have all you need,
the world belongs to you.

currently listening to: yellow brick road by angus & julia stone








if you don't know where you are going,
any road will get you there.

a man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine
and renews his life through reading new books,
traveling to new places, making new friends,
taking up new hobbies, and adopting new viewpoints.






i take it not only a day at a time,
but a moment at a time.
and keep it at that pace.
if you can be happy right now,
then you'll always be happy,
because it's always in the now.


we are friends and i do like to pass the day with you
in serious and inconsequential chatter. 
i wouldn't mind washing up beside you,
dusting beside you,
reading the back half of the paper while you read the front.
we are friends
and i would miss you,
do miss you,
and think of you very often.

currently listening to: underneath the sycamore by death cab for cutie

and when each day is the same as the next
it is because people fail to recognize the good things
that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.














you don't have a soul.
you are a soul.
you have a body.

currently listening to: get fly by atmosphere

i can tell when you're mad at your past
cause you tend to take them turns just a little too fast
i could tell how you pushed your foot on the gas
that you already knew that you was gonna finish last
slow it down and take a little time
to look up at them with that fake silver lining
up in a tree knowing damn well you'll never reach the top
but you don't stop, you keep climbing
well okay it's settled
no more nights in this weed and thorn infested meadow
from this day forth only forward i pedal
get the memo i'm cutting the strings gepetto
shuffle the cards and let's argue
rooted in between the computer games and cartoons
stop it watch us all get lost
between god and a shot of scotch
let's get fly












how happy is the blameless vestal's lot
the world forgetting, by the world forgot
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
each prayer accepted, and each wish resign'd.




love is there if you want it to be. 
you just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away
in between the seconds of your life.
if you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.
