but they that go.
Menagerie to me,

2009: Because I Like to Make Gratuitous, Rambly...
This past year,
I walked home from school for the first time
I skipped school for the first time
I snuck out of my house for the first time
I failed to do what I planned
I spent 36 hours awake just for the sake of seeing how long I could stay awake
I built blanket forts and read page after page on Middle Earth
Academically, I accomplished a thing or three, (I’m pretty damn proud of...
Stereotypes by the Book

Mark Twain/Ralph Waldo Emerson: [In my case wo]Men who harbor elaborate woodsman fantasies but never consider career options outside of business.
Jonathan Safran Foer: The people who take all the outlets at coffee shops.
Paulo Coelho: People who sometimes contemplate...

Reelin' in the Years

Are you Reelin’ In The Years? Stowin’ away the time Are you gatherin’ up the tears? Have you had enough of mine? You been tellin’...

You know that Les Brown quote that says, “Shoot for the moon, if you miss, you might land on a star.” ?
Well, besides the inaccuracy (If you shoot for the stars, which are farther away, you might at least land on the nearest natural satellite, the moon. But far be it from me to get all persnickety. That’s not the point.), I think that might be my problem.
