1) Make sure that your mind is not clogged with heavy burdens such as: resentment, anger, secrets and the past. They can be heavy.
2) Make sure that your body is not clogged with excess fat and excrements.
3) Make sure that your wings are light and free. This is the most difficult proposition. Your wings cannot be free unless the whole world is free, because you are a part of the world.
4) However, there is a way for the whole world to be free. Just like your body, all it needs is to be unclogged and have good circulation. Circulation is the secret to freedom and the key to fly.
5) When the whole world is in good circulation we will all fly together.
6) Meanwhile, give wings to things around you so they will circulate.

Because when you hold things in, nothing good comes out. Like diarrhea.
Winter resentment slowly melting away but I still spent the day reading sci-fi books, doing laundry, and taking a nap until 8pm. Need more non-imaginary/cat friends. Anybody? No? Dust.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.

Yale: You are so self-righteous, you know. I mean we’re just people. we’re just human beings, you know? You think you’re God.
Isaac: I… I gotta model myself after someone.
Mixed feelings in black and white. Mostly re: Woody Allen, movie making, and life and shit.

Today is a new day. Another chance to start over and do things right.
Hi. Here is my cute cat who is the cutest cat in the whole world and I love him so much and talk about him every day to anyone who will listen.
Isn’t he so cute?
Start, stop, and start again.
Please?
I’m going to send this guy after you…!
“Therefore let us agree that the idea of eternal return implies a perspective from which things appear other than as we know them: they appear without the mitigating circumstance of their transitory nature. This mitigating circumstance prevents us from coming to a verdict. For how can we condemn something that is ephemeral, in transit? In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”

I let two ghetto girls borrow my phone only to have them run off with it only to have me and the lee bros hunt them down on our bikes only to have found them only to have chased the one without the phone, letting the one with the phone get away.
“God damn it.” he said, “There are nice things in the world– and I mean nice things. We’re all such morons to get so sidetracked. Always, always, always referring every goddam thing that happens right back to our lousy little egos.”

Another day spent and nothing gained.

One thing at a time, takes way too much time.
Bought an old SLR for $5 at a flea market, accidentally exposed the old film inside, and ended up with the colors from my dreeeeeams.
