I miss the comfort in being sad. In her false witness, I hope you're still with us to see if they float or drown.

I hate the first mile. I hate the last half mile.
I love the middle four and change.

I don't like disappointing people, yet I don't care what people think.

I feel like I have so much to do and see that I will never fit it all in, yet I feel like I have all the time in the world.

I am a social person, but I have avoided making any new friends since we moved.

I hate yoga while I am doing it. I love the way I feel afterward.

I prefer Lennon to McCartney, but I like Paul's songs better.

I hate being late. I love leaving early.

I love it when a song or a picture makes me remember a moment in time. I hate the ache that nostalgia brings.

I miss my friends. I love my solitude.

I have faith in mankind as a whole, but I think most people are idiots.

Donwshifting your life can be a strange and extremely rewarding experience. At first the engine revs like crazy, but then you settle in and wonder why you were in such a hurry.

This is Mad Dick:



He was my favorite Fisher-Price toy as a kid. I used to wear a fireman's hat backwards and stomp around and act pissed off, like Mad Dick.

My mom saved Mad Dick and gave him to me a few years back.

That's awesome.
