My life.

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

Infinite.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

Equations.

He believed that great harvests came form arid sources, pleasure from restraint. He knew the equations that most people didn't know: Things led to their opposites.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.

Caring.

All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage.

Angels.

She never mentions the word addiction in certain company. Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan after you meet her family. She paints her eyes as black as night now. She pulls those shades down tight. She gives a smile when the pain comes. The pain gonna make everything alright.

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket. She wears a cross around her neck. Yes, the hairs are from a little boy and the cross from someone she has not met. Not yet.

Says she talks to angels, they call her out by her name.

She Talks to Angels, Black Crowes (1990).

Hope.

I’ve never seen our music as being over-dark. I think that there is always an element of hope in our music. 

Martin Gore.

I try.

- I think I'm in love with you.
- You mean as friends?
- No... I mean for real. 'Cause you're, like, the coolest person I've ever met, and you don't even have to try, you know...
- I try really hard, actually.


Juno (2007), Jason Reitman.

Forget.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou.

Dramatic enough.

The plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone, you don’t need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity. You just have to love someone.

How to be good, Nick Hornby.

Master.

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and play, his mind and his body, his education ans his recreation. He hardly knows which is which, he simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always seems to be doing both.

James A. Michener.

Live Life, Don't Watch It.

The night, your night. Every night. Starts with a simple question. Is it to be an evening on the sofa staring at strangers, a televised spew of reality stars, fame hunters and Primadonnas, everyone plotting, catch phrasing, confessing and unraveling, or do you want it to be more. A time when judges and contestants are replaced by teen moms, trouble makers and teen mates. No islands to be voted off. No board rooms to be fired from. Where sunrise is the only elimination ceremony. Because in the end the night deserves to be played not watched. And channel surfing is not a sport. 

Here’s to the after hours Athlete.
