My blog could be considered a dangerous thing. I don't think it is. Everything I write is completely honest. Some posts are commentary, some posts are stories, some are boring, some are fun. Most often it's a window into the part of my subconscious that cannot be communicated verbally. It's meant to be the place I spill, organize and store my abstract hidden things. You can really access a lot about me through the blog, and it's partially there for that purpose. To find out the things I cannot say, and don't necessarily need to be said. But its also a tool for me, the process of writing/blogging is therapy in some sense. However, there's a lot missing. To read it, and to think that it is all of me, would be very wrong. That's why it can be misleading. A lot of people read it, and they misinterpret. No one really knows what I actually mean by a lot of the things I say, and that's not my problem. Like I said, its only there partially for the purpose of letting people into that part of me, the rest is there for me, for my subconscious to come out. To take it literally would be a dangerous thing for the reader.

Important Pieces

In that space where infinity above meets immensity below we see the first sign of a new dawn. Dark always gives way to light; for a brief moment nothing is forbidden, everything is possible. But what would we do if the light never came? Maybe we would lie down. Maybe we could go back to sleep. Maybe we could wake up. - Adbusters

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere; they’re in each other all along. - Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The poet Rilke was afraid that if he got rid of his demons, he would lose his angels as well. Of course the danger of clinging to our demons to save our angels is that our demons may well take over." - Tim Farrington

Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is-and still not caring.
- Tom Robbins

I've been staring at my computer screen for 10 minutes. Although I keep getting distracted by Antiques Roadshow, I know what I want to write. But I know if I do write it, it becomes more real. It's like procrastination. Whenever I had to write a paper, I had all these ideas floating around in my head, and nothing happened with them, because they were up there not repeating to my fingers, to the keys, to the screen. The first step was always the hardest. The first step being writing the first sentence. Same thing going on here. If I start writing out this stuff, it might spiral out of control till it's finished, and might be the first step to things. But the thing about real life is there are no deadlines. Nothing has to get done. I need deadlines. I started to really like them towards the end of school, I used to dread them. At work I love having a crazy deadline to meet. So maybe if I do write out everything nothing will come of it anyway. But in this case, because of the subject matter, it would be another notch contributing to my life. Maybe that's what I'm really afraid of.
