I listen to this music and it awakens something in me. Something so strong it's impossible to deny it from myself. Makes feelings come through which I can't really explain -- like I know who I want to be and I'm so much closer to becoming it. Music resonates within my soul. I must do something with it. It's ridiculous.

To some you're the smartest person alive. To others, anything you say or do equates to utter destruction. How is it that chemistry lets us experience these different ways of expressing ourselves? To him I am constantly prophesizing; being the oracle that I know I am -- it's like I'm talking to myself, my mind chatter being spoken aloud. But to the other conversation never flows, blockades are brought forth that you will never be able to tear down.

Awkwarrrdddd.

Unknown date and time:

This weekend I was on Pender Island. Very refreshing, good to be away from real life for a few days. I love the island's mentality -- everyone here makes up a whole in which we all must maintain and work together to make it thrive. Everyone here is so friendly and caring! I was driving past a lady with her dog and she turned around,s miled and waved as if she totally knew me for years and years. It was heartwarming to say the least. I know, sounds silly, but that's what community should be. Treat all as your neighbor and contributor to your beautiful surrounding world. We are interconnected, others simply offering a different perspective on what we are viewing and experiencing from our own two eyes.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent."

"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

"Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp."

-- John Donne

Man was this guy ever awesome.
