…the failure to live artfully comes the next day…but, here’s an update: I am excited, I am in love with the world.

My head buzzing…my heart beating…breaths slipping in and out…I stumble home with thoughts like wild creatures…

You miss the crazy days, the feeling of infinite possibility, the feeling of being surround by magnificent beasts. Jay-Z standing on top of a giant stage with a shark on it: “Be amazing, you can be amazing, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” The next day in the vegetable aisle you proclaim: “Life is awesome!” and everyone stares.

Capriciousness: the quality of being guided by sudden unpredictable impulses, but then, no plan survives contact with the enemy, so just keep climbing that hill.

Balls of ice falling from the sky / this strange weather / this headache starting at the temples / one hundred apocalypses sitting on my shoulders
