“There are eras of human history in which the channels of thought have been too deeply cut and no change was possible, and nothing new ever happened, and “best” was a matter of dogma, but that is not the situation now. Now the stream of our common consciousness seems to be obliterating its own banks, losing its central direction and purpose, flooding the lowlands, disconnecting and isolating the highlands and to no particular purpose other than the wasteful fulfillment of its own internal momentum. Some channel deepening seems to be called for.”

Sick, but some quick details about the Date
There’s a bunch of stuff that I’ve been meaning to do, wanting to do, and needing to do; but I’m either not going to do them or have started to do them but can’t finish them. My cold plays a part in my procrastination, either as an excuse (“I can’t do the dishes today, I’m siiick”) or as a legit reason (unable to focus too well).
Here we are, now 3 days after my fantastic date, and I still haven’t posted about it. I’ll eventually get to writing the entry that the date truly deserves, but until then this will have to do:
On Monday I hung out/went on a date with a girl named Morgann. I feel like it went quite well. We hung out for over 4 and a half hours, walked around the nice Lakeside neighborhoods, and asked each other questions. The last thing we did was watch the sun set over the lake. :)
There was a lot of cuteness that took place during the date, but I’ll save it for when I’m able to write the full entry. ;)
Who is making you believe that love isn’t real?
Taylor swift makes me want to believe love is real
Don't give a f*ck
Don’t worry about disapproval. Be yourself.
So some people may not like the real you. So they’ll leave you.
But the ones that stick around and like you for you, they are who are important. They are who you should care about and spend your time with.
I woke up super early, felt good, and was wide awake. Sipped a nice, warm cup of coffee, felt great. Went back for a second cup, and within 15 minutes I felt terrible. Tomorrow: Hot chocolate.
WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
It may not be my absolute earliest memory, but it’s certainly the most memorable:

I desire my wife.
I want to meet her and her be here with me. I want her to say everything’s okay, and to be to hold her whenever I want. My desire is to stare at like she’s the only woman I’ve ever seen and tell her she’s beautiful. And she lights up.
There’s something about being with one…
“Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. Love has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.”
—Voltaire (via sothenshe)
“…the mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”
—The very bottom of page 31 of Frank Herbert’s Dune.

Season four
On June 14, 2010, AMC announced that Breaking Bad was renewed for a fourth, 13-episode season. The season is scheduled to premiere in July 2011.
July 2011! That’s so far off into the future! I might even be 19 by then! :(
