I have a dream,

Some people aspire to go on a pancake tour. For those of you who don't know what a pancake tour is, please let me share! It's simple. One (or more, probably fun with more people) decide to travel across somewhere (say North America) hittin' up all the best pancake spots and ranking them along the way (ranking is optional, eating is not). Yum! Some of you may be inspired to do the whole Jack Kerouac (the novel: The Road) thang, hit up the road, stop at diner to diner, 'the pancake tour of North America.' BUT, it's apple pie and ice cream, that Sal, the book's narrator, consumed as he traveled across America. So really, one is not limited to just pancakes on a pancake tour. 


I aspire to go on a library tour of the world! These are the libraries I plan to visit (AKA spend countless days in) http://www.oddee.com/item_96527.aspx. Books are magical. fact. Libraries house this magic. tour ='s must. And, one is not limited to just books on a library tour....  


A song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23E9jsmQmso

hope is love

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."

– C.S. Lewis

Happy Friday,

Watch it: Randy Pausch - Last Lecture

" Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you."
— Randy Pausch

So many choices,

Thank-you Kaiza

Dance in the rain.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."

A little bit of love.

A rather odd video, but a wonderful song nonetheless,

Any morning, every morning.

“Sunrise tantalize, evil eyes hypnotize: that is the morning, Congo pink.  Any morning, every morning. Blossomy rose-color birdsong air streaked sour with breakfast cookfires.  A wide plank of dirt—the so-called road—flat-out in front of us, continuous in theory from here to somewhere distant.”

- Barbara Kingsolver,

So it goes
