The Voyage Home

How does life change when you’re not around? It’s a thought i’ve come to think about lately. How do people change and move on when you’re not looking? Because the world doesn’t stop simply because you want it to. The faces they shift and sway with the passage of time and the hearts that you once captured are no longer yours to hold.
How does life change when you’re not around? Objects and places change. People aren’t necessarily the people you left behind. But can there be that single thread that you hope once connected you?. Can your friends still be the friends that you left behind in an airport terminal? Will you still remember the quirks and the nuances of the people that you once shared your life with?
A Thousand Tomorrows

Sometimes letting go is hard. Sometimes you just can’t help but want to bury your past and start over again. Sometimes we just need the tenacity to stick around long enough till someone comes rescue us from our slump. In the meantime, we can dream.

It’s one of those nights. The hour is late and I’m putting off work to sit poolside and ponder the strangeness of it all. My sister turns 25 in a few minutes and I realize how fast the years have gone by. Almost 10 years since high school and over 16 since I came the US and for the most part it’s moved so fast.
Then there’s that moment where you realize what you’ve lost in the process. A whole other life. Moments given up to get to where you need to be, even then you sometimes begin to realize, you’re not really where you need to be. Sometimes the price was too great.
A life in motion because standing still is not an option.
The trick is to keep breathing…

Think of something that makes you happy…
Sometimes the idea becomes to fake it till you make it. Sometimes you just need to find happiness where you can. In a cup of coffee. In your morning run. In dropping yet another belt size. In the laughter shared with your friends. In learning to hate the right people.
Sometimes battles aren’t worth fighting and sometimes they’re lost, but in the end they’re usually with yourself. So for all its worth think of something that makes you happy.

My Meteoric Rise and Fall

Earlier today I took a step towards infamy and riches. After reading the post on Mashable telling how GoDaddy open up registration for the .me extension for domain names I rushed over to GoDaddy and proceeded to buy the domain name that would make me rich, once I sold it anyways. What domain was it?
