“Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

- Howard Thurman (via she-alone)

//I’m usually not one for inspirational quotes, but this one really strikes home. I haven’t found what makes me come alive or at least, those things that make me feel alive, I don’t quite know how to do them more, how to make those things my life. I greatly envy people with ability to do what they love and if they don’t have that ability, the courage to pursue it.

These make me giggle an inappropriate amount (for being at work at least).

This is Don Juan (because he’s a lover not a fighter). He came from a shelter and is the best cat I could have ever asked for.

It’s hitting me in waves. Pain, relief, numb, relief, pain, relief, numb, relief, numb, pain. and when it’s numb it washes away some of my brain activity. I know I’m typing but I can’t really feel the keys. They’re smooth but my fingers seem tingly. A weird almost hurting but not euphoria.

Now pain and I can feel everything and the phone ringing makes my eyes hurt and the finger tingling isn’t pleasant and I just want the

numb back and here comes the relief and then the gum in my mouth taste like silly putty cuz I can barely feel it.

“These also vanished, and only the stars distracted her. They were not motionless, but swayed to and fro above her head, thronging out of one sky-light into another, as if the universe and not the air-ship was careening. And, as often happens on clear nights, they seemed now to be in perspective, now on a plane; now piled tier beyond tier into the infinite heavens, now concealing infinity, a roof limiting for ever the visions of men. In either case they seemed intolerable.”

- “The Machine Stops” by E.M. Forster

Note: I’m not quoting this because I feel it to be true but rather because it is profound and beautifully written. I highly recommend this story (and the story gives this quote excellent context).

“And then Snake saw the craters, stretching away across the desert below her. The earth was covered with great circular basins. Some, lying in the path of the lava flow, had caught and broken its smooth frozen billows. Others were clearer, great holes gouged in the earth, still distinct after so many years of driving sands. The craters were so large, spread over such a distance, that they could have only one source. Nuclear explosions had blasted them. The war itself was long over, almost forgotten, for it had destroyed everyone who knew or cared about the reasons it had happened.”

The curves from her body spawned many first lines from my book of love.

Damon: :D I have 4 of the 10 lantern rings so far. Black Yellow Orange and Indigo.
Me: That was the hottest thing you've said today
Damon: And oddly also the saddest! :)
Me: The saddest bc you don't have the other 6?
Damon: Sad because I have worn them in public!
Me: At the same time? Or one at a time?
Damon: Yes
Me: That's not sad, that's silly, you can't be more than one kind of lantern at a time!
Damon: Yes you can. Hal Jordan was 3 at once Red Green and Blue.
Me: Hmmm, this changes things. I think I know where this is going... If you wear all of the colors at once, you turn into Captain Planet!

I hate to abandon a book, but Ringworld; is just driving me nuts. I can’t take the characters. I give Larry Niven props for a fascinating concept in the ringworld and cool technology (even when it’s not entirely well thought out), but the characters are so mind-numbingly irritating that I can’t finish it. I was going to push through it but I started reading Dreamsnake while at work yesterday and I’m hooked. No reason to bother reading a bad book when I have a good one.

ganxtervision:

Ok, heres the story. My girlfriend and I occasionally dumpster dive at the library because every few weeks they throw away books. I was skimming through the pages of a found book and this polaroid fell out.

I just giggled very very loudly at work.
