this here is without foundation
in brevity will it sit
in that meager space between light and dark form and void it is only form and it may only ever be for this moment is it’s only aspiration and its only intention
it is only a thought
an idea
yet you find reason to question its nature?
are you to save it from its fate?
will you permit this fleeting spark? this wick? this candle? to...
isn't it strange how the creative mind works?
sometimes we have an idea. it can be anything visual, really. an idea for a logo. an idea for a graphic. an idea for a painting, or the interior design of a bedroom. anything. it all starts with an idea.
an image in our head. we construct it. we mold it. bringing in colors, shapes, text, textures.
we explain it to others, we brainstorm together.
and then it’s executed.

WatchOHH MY GOSHHHH I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK
Justin Vernon (from Bon Iver) and The Roots jamming to “Perth”
“Live your life in many dimensions, constantly creating and seeking new horizons upon which to embark. Never restrict your existence to any one thing. Embrace your multiplicity. Instead, plot your life in such a way that you represent a graph that touches many points in an ever increasing achievement curve.” — Easton C. Leiba
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

i want to live, i want to give. i’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. It’s these expressions i never give. that keep me searching for a heart of gold.
and I’m getting old. keeps me searching. for a heart of gold. and I’m getting old.
i’ve been to Hollywood. i’ve been to Redwood. i crossed the ocean. for a heart of gold.
i’ve been in my mind....

went to the movies at 11:50 to see Chronicle with Niko and Joel only to see that we looked at the wrong day and it doesn’t start till 2:10.. we’ve done absolutely nothing productive since. 2:10, you couldn’t come soon enough.
i either do things really well, or i don’t do them at all.
i can’t decide whether this a good characteristic of mine, or a bad one.
a blessing and a curse, perhaps?

my favorite bible verse.
“Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
- Romans 12:9-10

i’ve been time traveling lately. mostly in the dead of night. i’ve been going back a few years to when i had a hand to hold, to when i had a place to call home. but then it hits me like a bullet; i can’t live in the past anymore. memories are a wonderful thing, but they can also hurt worse than a knife. and when they hurt, well, the only thing left to do is make new ones.
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not...”
– Psalm 51:10-12
exclamation marks.
there are some days where i simply don’t want them.
i don’t want to wake up with someone yelling at me asking me what i’m doing, what plans i have for that day, or how i’m doing.
i love excitement just as much as the next person. and i also enjoy letting my friends know that i am interested in the conversation even if it involves the use of exclamation marks and the...
sometimes i feel like sitting around talking to someone i’ve never met as we take turns spitting out our entire life stories.
the darkest moments bring the brightest lights. like the moon on a dark night.

why is it that my thoughts race so recalcitrantly when i lay awake at night? the past, the present, the future; it’s all i can see.
i think about what could have been. what is, and what will come.
i think about my life. trying not to focus on the past.
trying not to focus on the fact that my life is filled with things. things that i could’ve done better. things i can’t...
who wants to rent a cabin with me over Spring Break?
nothing but trees, birds, picnics and solitude.
being inspiring is among the greatest of characteristics to have.
i think the most inspiring people are the people who live their lives happily, joyfully, thankfully, and passionately; doing things, of course, that promote good, instead of evil.
be inspiring.

on sleep: things i love part three.
sleep is the greatest thing on earth.
(i should just end this post right here)
i’m actually quite certain thats there’s no way that you could even dispute that sleep is the greatest thing on earth. unless, of course, your argument is music.. or cuddling. but even then, i’m still just not completely convinced. not to mention both subjects of said arguments can often be used to...

i don’t think there’s anything worse than being ordinary.
i am a restless soul.
