Im pushing an elephant up the stairs
Im tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon


Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great beyond

Happy Thursday

Happy "this songs makes me want to dance out of control forever"!

you're screaming out the window at the stars, "please don't drive me home..."

if there is only one thing that i know i will have for the rest of my life, be it long or short, i know for certain what it is.

it is love.


That may sound ridiculous to you or someone else, but to me, it is the truth. I could never not love. No matter how stressful, crappy, or tiring life could be, there is something i love. I love my friends. Every part of them. I know most of them know that I'll be there for them in the end, there when they need someone, there as much as I could be.

I love trees. I love stars. I love their beauty with every ounce of my body. I would hug all the trees and stars in the world, in the universe, if i could. Just to tell them how grateful I am to them and everything they have given me. Sure they have given me shelter and light, but what they may not all realize is how much they have brought me closer to my friends, the people i care most about in my life. They brought us together through songs about them, to sitting underneath them to share stories, secrets, or laughter. To guiding us in the night time when we had no other light when walking down the streets when our parents were still sleeping, to those nights on cliffs, roofs, runways, driveways, open roads, city roads, anywhere where we got to admire their splendor.

I've had tears built up all afternoon in my eyes. I thought that they would come out about something else, but now they have left my eyes because I'm so happy thinking how lucky I have been in life. Lucky in my friends. Though I don't live in the same city as some of them right now, and some I may never live in the same city with every again, I am so lucky to have had those times. To spend time and moments and experiences that people that I loved and that at least for that moment, loved me too.

I will always love those memories.i will always love these memories. i will always love trees. i will always love stars. and i will always love my friends.

some days ARE aces.....

so i may get paid shit at work. but i've always said the perks are unbelievable.

today's greatness:
1. having mama ninfas cater our lunch today.
2. getting to make a 45 minute business run to specs.
3. Starting happy hour at work, pre 5 p.m.


I may still be at work now, but what a glorious, glorious day it has been.

you say goodbye, i say hello

we've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see...

my favorite song on feel good lost. my favorite instrumental song of theirs.

So I spent the weekend w/ the gonzales. it was wonderful. I got to see some sully, some matt d., and a little em. though the four + hour way sucks balls to drive alone, it was well worth the trip. I wish I would have been able to see Amanda, but hopefully next time around.

So this weekend was the start of getting to see my friends for four weekends in a row. CRAZY. It will be a good and bad thing. I miss them like crazy, but the overload of them will make me miss them a lot. But that is the life of being a grown up.

Today, the whole way back from FW, i took pictures of the scenery. Lot of pictures of overpasses, trees, wildflowers, the giant sam houston in huntsville, and then downtown houston. I forget just how much i love pictures like that. Pictures that you can just get lost in, imagining yourself in them or what was going on around the picture at the time.

only five more days....

what you know you have and what you think you want is never perfect

thing i like about today:
-laughing all day at work
-having money to pay the bills
-getting to work out
-buying dinner for my fam at pho21
-catching up with friends while at work
-looking forward to tokyo police club & saul williams next week
-listening to jenny lewis & the watson twins

what i don't like about today:
-arguing with people i care about
-having to redo a project
-worrying about love ones because they are so sick.
-missing my friends
-not being perfect. that sounds silly. I don't try to be perfect. I just try not mess up. I hate the feeling of messing up. I don't mean at with work, but messing up with life.
