note to self

can people actually feel fulfilled and satisfied? completely content and happy with where they are and what they're doing?
i don't think so. i hope so, but i really don't know.
actually, you know what, yes. i think you can. if you're in love, you really do feel like you have it all.

i think once you feel like you find meaning in the moment you're living, that, is when you can feel completely satisfied.

yes, everything has meaning if you look for it, and everything you do leads you to your next destination that will lead you somewhere else, that may even lead you to that moment of contentment. but humans are impatient creatures.

look out for all the great things.
appreciate the people around you.
take more risks.
say yes.


something i learned when i was in jr.high was that you really didn't need to think about what other people thought, because really, no one is really paying attention to you any way. everyone is so wrapped up in themselves they don't have time to notice the "flaws" you worry about.

this is me rambling. these are some thoughts. brought on by a picture of some boats. it's funny how thoughts process.

fact: she has a septum piercing (no you can't see it here)

whoa. hey there scarlett. someone's looking mighty pretty today.

burning man

i have two friends who are going to burning man this year, so i was reading a bit about the festival. it sounds amazing. it takes place at the Black Rock Desert just outside of Reno, Nevada, and is an arts festival of sorts. a community is built and everything that is brought to the desert is taken away at the end, leaving no trace behind. temperatures range from 38C during the day to 4C at night. the website describes it as "an annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance."
the experience would be intense to say the least. check out the website for more.

stornoway and a regina

one of my favorite regina spektor songs

there is no R in jemaine

i saw dinner for schmucks tonight. i thought it was going to be incredibly stupid and bad, but it was actually decently funny. it was really stupid and ridiculous, but in a way that worked. steve carrel's character was the most annoying person ever though, which lead to funny moments, but i wanted to punch him in the face for the majority of the film and he almost made me want to get up and leave.
jemaine clement played an egotistical horny artist. and i'm not sure why, but i was really attracted to him. i'm not even joking. his character was a douche, but damn, he was lookin gooooooood. i've always had a bit of a crush on him though....so i may be a bit biased...full lips, dark hair, light eyes, super tall, and funny? yes please.
