Lawd nose it’s easy to stick with the “well, this makes me uncomfortable/causes cognitive dissonance/offends my sensibility/morality, but it takes to much effort to leave it behind” attitude. Life is way too short for us to do and be what society expects

So it’s slightly ironic, in that tragic sort of way that we can’t even manage to be good friends. It’s slightly ironic in that tragic sort of way that we are strangers living in memories together, when you’re actually a piece of my everyday life.

Dedicated to taking you everywhere…

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.

Experts have figured out that the brain has no ability to actually predict your emotional reaction to life changes that haven’t happened yet. In other words, you physically do not know what you want. The act of sitting around pondering it is apparently what fucks you up.

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think every thing you’re supposed to think? Buy what you’re told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned

I learned that today is Gratuitous Picture of Yourself Wednesday (GPOYW)

This is me, holding carrots, which were discovered in the tundra of MPLS one fine winter day.
