YOLO
I bought a new pen today….Oh yes.
Heh.

When did my Facebook turn into the bastard child of Reddit and 4chan? I think the internet is leaking.

I miss my brother, I miss my brother a great deal actually. I’m really proud of what he’s already done, but I am sad about that fact that I’m missing out on watching him group up. I’ve watched him group up through his early teens, but at this time in his life things get hectic and life starts to become more real. I just wish that I could be there more for him. We...
Looking to get a Hero pen (either a Hero 616 or a Hero 100) or two in addition to some Bulow nibs. Only I can get excited about these sort of things.
Some of the finer things in life depend heavily on timing. I’ll get it right one day, that timing.
Because we know that we are very replaceable; that we all have the same beginning and we will have the same end. We all have the same parts, the same blue print, and the same basic programming. We are more ordinary than we can imagine, and we know that we are more replaceable than we care to admit. It is for that reason we strive to be more than ourselves, that we struggle to make a difference....
Note to self:
Next ink to buy, either Platinum Blue-black or Noodler blue-black.
Next pen: Aurora Style
Low drama life, feels good man.

“What’s on your mind?”
“Nothing.”
Nothing. He was the only person in the world she knew who could answer that question with the word “nothing” and mean it. He said it with a half-smile and accompanying that slow smile was a quiet twinkle in the eye. She didn’t know what invincibility looked like, but if she had to take a guess, it would be...
Writing impassioned, a formidable force.
I dont understand why my dreams play out the way they do. It’s almost as if I’m mocking myself.
I am indeed pretty clueless, but more so oblivious maybe. I’ll figure it out some day just like everything else.
Today I was thinking about all of the books that I’ve read in my life, not the books specifically themselves so much, but the sheer number of books that I have ever read. Think about it, how many books have you really read? Thinking about it, I believe that I can’t have read more than 150 books, and even then that’s being generous. After that I got around to thinking about the...
Gah, Paper Towns you are such a good book. The nice thing about John Green books is that they succinctly say what I’m feeling, but in a manner that is not pretentious. I’m slowly learning to confront paper me, but I can’t seem to get past paper them.
What I’d really like from the new year is my brother to stay healthy and do well in school. 2011 has not been kind to my brother. Everything else that matters is more or less within my control.

Paper towns and paper people, how will we escape them?
I’m a good listener when things get tough, but I respect that people appreciate privacy so I give them their space. I’m not sure what to do in emotionally tumultuous situations.
There’s a certain romanticism when christmas lights and night combine. The effect is even more profound when you are alone. It’s almost as if the entire world is reminding you that in all of your loneliness, you’re never really alone. Mind you, this isn’t the crushing sort of loneliness I’m talking about, I’m talking about solitude.
The lights soften the...
I wish I knew certain people better, but those sort of things are out of my hands sometimes.
Rock solid.
People and mountains have a lot in common; at least in the sense of an analogy.
Mountains are layers upon layers of sediment (of some kind) and just like people, mountains are built year after year. Each year, our layers get a little older and a new one is added. As people we become a little wiser, a little more bitter; we experience some kind of change every year. We begin as impossibly...

I like books.
There are some times when I like books a lot better than I like people, but to be fair books and people do share a lot of similarities. Just like people, books cause me to become emotionally involved, they will lead me on, and some books just end up wasting an obscene amount of my time. People can read like books. Some books can and will lie to me, but unlike people, books can’t use me....
I don’t write things like poetry and small attempts at fiction anymore. Is is because I have a lack of fiction or a greater clarity of self that requires less self-reflection? I kind of miss writing, not like I was any good at it in the first place, but I miss creating something out of nothing. Just a little bit though, writing takes a lot out of me.
Sometimes I feel lonely, but then I remember I’ve got years to become unlonely. And then I feel a little bit better.

I am thankful for my family, the friends that I am fortunate to be surrounded by, and the opportunities that my circumstances have provided for me. Among other things.
He’s in uncharted waters, she’s in uncharted waters, they’re both in uncharted waters. They’ll exchange control of the tiller, but regardless they’re making the journey together. They may end up somewhere new and fantastic or their vessel may sink. But even when a boat sinks, one can still swim.
No one likes a cop until they need one.
No!
Stanford Blood Center shirts have changed and they are worth more points now! Not a fan of the new shirt, I guess this is what happens when I decide to wait to make that last donation. I really need to donate again soon.

Because a boy met a girl at a confusing time in his life, and a girl met a boy at a confusing time in her life. Eventually they partook in their confusing journey together and they ended up in a state of normalcy. Their relationship was based on albeit a shaky rationale, but they didn’t know better and it didn’t matter. It ended, some end more amicably than others, but the point is...

Regardless of the distance, you can only make the journey one step at a time.
You are sad, you are disturbed, and you need help. You will not help yourself, and you know it. They are quite possibly the saddest person.
When those who are sad do not know how privileged they are, they go from people who feel sad to people who are sad.
Be patient, be kind, be gentle.

Goodbye desktop, you’ve been such a beast this summer
The Tron Legacy soundtrack is all kinds of gorgeous.
For in the great labyrinth of human suffering hope is our opiate, forgiveness our savior.

Why do you insist on wallowing in your misery? You can only blame yourself so much, and it’s all in the past now. Who are you to judge the events that have already happened and decide that it was ok for certain events to happen, but you didn’t deserve others? You have a problem and you know it. You are the only one who can help you with your problem and you refuse to do so. There...
As I see it.
It seems that everyone has at least one event/happening/person/relationship that has come and gone from their life, in the process taking something very precious and leaving some sort of baggage/crater/gaping hole in the soul. Eventually time passes and they move on one way or another, eventually reaching some point of peace with their pass. In my experience the whole process takes time,...
Nothing like getting a little bike grease on the hands

– Looking for Alaska (John Green, 2005)
Been doing some reading.
There’s a life after death, and it’s called life. Life continues for the living, and the dead merely go elsewhere.
Whether we go somewhere after we die is for the dead to know and for us to find out. Whatever the case, there is no end all for everyone. If humans in their infinite wisdom can dream up the existence of an infinite number of parallel universes, then surely there are an...
