"Stay Golden Pony Boy"- Emilio Estevez

I got a new playlist constructed that is primarily comprised of Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, and "The 50 Most Relaxing Classical Songs" album #dope, and the weather is marvelous outside so, as you can suspect, it's a wonderful time to focus and board the thoughts, opinions, & creativity ferry.


Later on tonight around 3:30 I embark on an adventure to make my way to the airport so that I can board a 7:00 am flight to Paris. My companion Rex plans on popping some Tylenol pm and going to sleep soon so that he can make the trip, but I, like any nonsensical human being, will simply remain awake until tomorrow night when my head hits the pillow at our hostel in Paris--I figure that if I can't fall asleep on a regular night, then how the hell am I supposed to fall asleep on the eve of my grandiose battle with the French? I do not know how much internet access I will have while gone these next 12 days for spring break, so I will be sure to keep up as best as I can with my updates and make note of things to talk about upon my return.

"Taking thoughts captive ain't an easy thing to do, when it's your thoughts that help to make you, you." - Daedalus

These words you will rarely see come from me because I believe they lose their luster over time, but I do sincerely believe I am truly blessed and loved--a lot of people never have the opportunity to get away and gather their thoughts and feelings after life deals them a blow. So, I would like to take a moment to the thank my parents, grandparents, and all other family members and friends that have helped make this opportunity possible. Your financial support, thoughts, prayers, and encouragement mean more than you will probably ever understand. This particular leg in my journey exceeds simply gaining mere knowledge, experience, or perspective, and is, in fact, playing a huge role in shaping the man I am and helping me regain the strength it takes to not only keep moving forward in life, but to again make life my bitch* (Sorry, I am only perfect insofar as I am flawed).

some movement...

I have been given the opportunity to begin writing and giving some thoughts and opinions on a new webisode that some friends I know are about to start working on. This excited me a lot because the genre for this webisode is something along the lines of comedy/dark-humor/crude-humor/sarcasm, which are all areas I enjoy and find my brain leaning towards throughout my day-to-day life (emphasis on dark humor). So, what does something like this mean to me? It's means I'll be unloading more of my creative juice frequently, which is good considering I have formed the hypothesis that the reason I can't sleep is because I don't empty my creative sauce often enough, so, ideally, this will help to alleviate a portion of my late night sleep wars. But, I'm sure that with my luck this will do nothing but fuel the flame of my late-night-slumber-depriving-tyrant of brain.

And now listen to a wonderful song while you look at some stuff.
