“ for me, it’s splendid enough to remember
past the memories of pain and defeat and unhappiness:
when you take it away
do it slowly and easily
make it as if I were dying in my sleep instead of in
my life, amen. ”

I’m not doin fine
I’m desecrating lives
I boned a phone booth of a lady shaky heinous crimes
Nailing hands down to floorboards
angry side gone overboard
and
I’m bored
still bored
I’m so bored

Oh dear! MatchBoxArt thinks we are more free in the wild. I would love to be an animal for a day and just run and play. I think animals are the purest form of life.

Can’t keep your head on straight,
the way the other’s do.
You spend your nights in the city,
sleep away the afternoons.
And I’m alright when you need it,
take your time till you’re ready for something new.

Sure can start,
sure can leave me alone.
The tricky part,
is to come back home.

I love this quote. It reminds me of a rough time in my life when someone helped me and expected nothing in return.

… the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were trying to find out what unusual cognitive gifts multitaskers possessed that made them so successful at multitasking.

They’re still looking.

“Multitaskers were just lousy at everything,” said Clifford I. Nass, a professor of communication at Stanford …

I don’t believe in man made Gods who don’t believe in me

-I won’t believe in anyone who doesn’t believe in me. I won’t value someone’s time who doesn’t value mine. I will surround myself with people who appreciate me for who I am. I will choose my friends and not be with people who are there out of convenience. Believe!

Congo is making headlines because of an ongoing civil war.
But did you know about the people of SAPE (Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes)?
In colonial years young people, who worked for French colonists decided that they had to look elegant.  Since then you can see such people all over congo.  They have their own body language, nicknames and they are against any kind of violence. The most important rule - a man should be elegant.

In your world there are no regrets, your goals have all been set
There are no more to be found
Your world is so well controlled, you will not be told
You know you don’t hear a sound
It might break into your cool world

Sometime I look at my life and the more I think of all the good that I have been blessed with, the more free I feel. Not the kind of freedom that people think they have the right to exercise, but freedom in the essence of the word. Freedom that makes you feel like you are going to burst. In those moments I know I am unstoppable and a force to be reckoned with. The brighter you burn, the beautiful way of life shines through everything. When I think of all the positive in my life I drop all thoughts of detestation or bitterness, Maybe it’s love that sets us free. Love of all the splendor can radiate from our core and this is what sets us free.
