Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic nod, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone.

Monty Python - Episode 19
Interviewer: Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight one of the country's leading skin specialists - Raymond Luxury Yacht.
Raymond: That's not my name.
Interviewer: I'm sorry - Raymond Luxury Yach-t.
Raymond: No, no, no - it's spelt Raymond Luxury Yach-t, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'.
Interviewer: You're a very silly man and I'm not going to interview you.
It's humour like this that makes me want to withdraw from the world for a week/month and do nothing else but watch Monty Python non-stop.

Sometimes Skye stares at me,
And I stare back at him, and I start to feel like we’re having a wonderful emotional moment, but then he raises a leg and there’s a very audible puppy fart and then he just stares at me some more.

Just got accepted to Syracuse University!
It feels pretty good, even though it’s just a safety school and at the bottom of my list, but at least I don’t have to keep feeling like I’m going to get rejected from everywhere!

My Friday night thus far,
Has been Monty Python and singing along to Jason Mraz, Incubus, Agent Fresco, and many more.

A haircut and a shave later,
And I’m feeling much less like a shabby hobo and much more like a well-trimmed hobo.
Besides that, I searched three different electronics stores for a Class 10 SD card and only found one that was like 235 dirhams for the 16GB which was crazy, so I iMessaged my dad to check for one because they’re in the US and all the things I want are crazily cheap there.
So as it turns out a 32GB...
I am really lacking in motivation.
I’ve got a hell of a lot of work to get through this weekend, none of which has been started.
And besides that, I need to go get a haircut and a Class 10 SD card today but I just can’t be bothered to.
Eh, I guess I’ll just force myself to do the latter. I’ll figure the work out when I get back.

So I just saw Jason Mraz live,
And he was just as awesome as I thought and hoped he would be!
I mean, he played all of his awesome songs, including The Remedy, which was the very first song of his I’d discovered years and years ago by accident and that had eventually made me a fan of his, but he also played Fly Me To The Moon, Take Five, and a bit of Wonderwall, which was just too awesome.
And just before I’m done...

Clockwork II
asibilantsoliloquy:
“Death must be an awfully grand adventure.” A man on his eleventh drink once drunkenly slurred. “After your death you will be What you were before your birth - Schopenhauer could not have said truer words.”
I sip my drink, He downs his. I nod silently as number twelve speaks,
“I suppose what I want to know is Was I happy? Was I comfortable? Was I ever at peace before life...
“Later — when things happened that they could never have imagined — she wrote him...”
– The History Of Love
“A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be...”
