A Toast:
diadylan:
Here’s to the great human experiment, the impossible journey into civilization, peace, love, hate, war, understanding, apathy, obsession, madness, and death. Here’s to thought, destiny, fate, and breaking our divine mold. Here’s to pulse, secreation, sustenance, and breath. Here’s to culture, instinct, and law. Here’s to the weight of the world.

If cars have given us anything, maybe more than a quick easy way to get around, they have given us those finite, perfect hours in a shared, isolated space, traveling together with someone else. Those certain trips that make up some of our best moments. When you were neither here nor there, together with someone else, apart from everyone and everything else.

a great tragedy of life:
we don’t do the things we claim to love doing.
when asked what we’d do if we had a year left to live, who wouldn’t say “travel?” But how many of us actually do it.
we swear we love to read, we swear writing our greatest passion, we claim that nothing moves us like drawing, but we bide out time until the day’s over, in boredom, and never pick up a book or pen...

Life goals:
to do something well that really helps the world, to read many good books & often, to travel to many different places & allow my perspective of the world to be altered, to meet many people and to realize that probably everyone is fascinating, and to have at least one but perhaps a few great romances that delight the body, the mind & the soul.
