If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;

Summary

So, I started this Tumblr mainly for the motivation of cataloguing my life for when I want to look back. I've failed miserably so far. I'll try to get better. For myself, not for you, whoever you may be reading this. Here are the recent bullet points:

I got in a bare fist fight that I won

I went to the circus. Barnum & Baileys. Elephants and tigers. But no bears, oh my.

Our softball team won it's first game. I'm batting .500 on the season. Peripherals point to a sudden regression.

Love still exists. I'm not broken. I can actually get excited about new people again.

I've gone to multiple rave/DJ parties in buildings/warehouses in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Awesome times. Unique people.

Right now, I am where I want to be. Life is good.

That's all folks.

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born Then it's time to go And define your destination There's so many different places to call home Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written It's plain to see That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions

Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks

"You’re gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear  All that’s left is a ghost of you Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart there’s nothing we can do Just let me go we’ll meet again soon No wait! Wait! Wait for me! Please hang around, I’ll see you when I fall asleep Don’t listen to a word I say  The screams all sound the same  Though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore"

I heard the song posted before this on the radio today, and it reminded me of this one because they share a title. The other is good, but Elliott Smith is art. R.I.P.

"I had tender feelings that you made hard But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred"

-Elliott Smith, "Somebody That I Used To Know"

The B&W of Us

I didn’t need rose-colored glasses—the black & white of us was astounding.

"Left his house at midnight, resolute and young

In search of something greater than the person he'd become

Threw his bags onto the back of his rundown 80's car

Headed out to God know's where, the distance is too far"

-Noah and the Whale, "Life is Life"

Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was killed in a brazen daylight assassination Wednesday when two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to his car in the Iranian capital.

Whoa, wait, what? This shit happens in real life? Assassins with magnetic car bombs?!? Truth is stranger than fiction.
