CURRENT MISSION

And now for something new...

ABOUT ME

"It would be delightful to report that they reached the nursery in time... but then, there would be no story..."A few years ago my mind was filled with ambition, in that youthful way of ours. Truly believing we can have it all. But then I realised I had absolutely no idea what I wanted. I knew I wanted to achieve something, to be someone, but that thing and one puzzled me. So, I did the most natural thing, I picked up a backpack, filled it with stuff, and left. And wherever it was that I left from, that fictitious place we are so scared of, I never returned. I discovered that thing I wanted so badly, you can't hold, and the someone I wanted to be, was me. I really like tea, and coffee. A LOT. Drug of choice - caffeine. If you see a piece of rubbish, for goodness sake PICK IT UP! It does end up in the ocean, and it will kill a turtle. Even if you live underground in a desert.I try to be a good person. Karma WILL kick you in the butt. It is easier to be nice, and we can choose happiness, and if we all made that small decision then we are all that much better.Being creative is very important to me. Everyone has the ability to be creative, channel it how you wish, just do it.Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?Paul Varjak: Sure.Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name! In every job that must be done there is an element of fun - Mary PoppinsHave you ever eaten out of a bin? No? Do it. I dare you. It's delicious!To all the people who have picked me up hitchhiking, let me in to their homes, talked to me in a park, or welcome me with a great big smile, thankyou. I am spreading the energy. Every. Single. Day.If you want to be so friendly as to send me a message because you see me in nearby travelers, please don't unless you have actually read my profile and thought it sounded interesting. I will know. And sending the same message to my friend just makes me laugh. I will not respond, unless you answer this: What beverage would you be and why? Ha. Got you CSing spammers.

PHILOSOPHY

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.
Cool, unlying life will rush in

Clay lies still, but blood's a rover/ Breath's aware that will not keep./ Up lad: when the journey's over there'll be enough time to sleep.
