A day like most others

Today is my birthday. It is a day like most others, though luckily I do not, in a week of mid-terms, have to go to school on this day. Therefore I am at home, with a fresh new haircut and some great new litterature. My gift to myself is the gift of Hypemachine and the gift of The Prophet. I am currently quite obsessed with Hypemachine and spend 40% of my time awake streaming my "loved songs". So reading my favorite book and listening to my favorite music, this is not a day unlike any others, and that is exactly what makes it a fantastic day!

"... let these be your desires: ... To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love. And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

- Khalil Gibran from The Prophet

Khalil Gibran, author of The Prophet

Riding the rails

A way of living

I wanna be train hopping

I wanna feel the rails under me rocking

I wanna look out at the open

Experience the wilds before they are forever broken

Hoping that when at the end


I will never have passed down what life would send
