“There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall,
so many laws to keep you from experience.
All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy,
stifling state in which most people pass through life.
I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.
All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die.
I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow.
I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun -
hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks.
People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case."
I will turn and say to them
"It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job,
cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive.
For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that.
For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!"
And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup.”
-Henry Rollins

This is what I love. What makes me smile. What makes everything that's wrong in the world completely inconsequential.
black and white movies, zombie flicks and 50's starlets,
makeup and shoes (especially the high heel version),
shopping, glitter, candles, incense, strong perfume,
overly priced fashion magazines, huge sunglasses,
gossiping, coffee houses, going out for supper,
the drive-in, smoke, campfires...fire in general,
loud music, quiet music and all the music in between,
black eye-shadow, red lips, long nails,
fishnets, trench coats, fake eyelashes,
the things that make a person mysterious,
free smiles and loud laugher,
stickers, buttons, plastic jewellery,
ray guns, aliens and the Space network,
sherbert, cookies and chick flicks,
fuzzy blankies, slippers and comfy chairs,
good books, good tea and a good rainy storm,
being catty in interior design class,
my friends, and even some of my family,
the smell after it rains, sunrises and sunsets,
bonfires on the beach, drums, dancing like a crazy hippie,
festivals, bellydancing, poi,
art, pencil crayons, paint, design,
knick-knacks, the color hot pink, mittens,
blogging, reading blogs, surfing the net,
travel. travel. travel.There's so much in life that is beautiful, so much that makes me smile. Anything from an experience to a beautifully captured moment on film.
It's easy to forget, but all of this...no matter how small, makes me happy.
Makes the world a little more beautiful,
Makes the people a little more interesting.
