  • feeling like barney.

  • the only time that my commute to UM takes exactly one hour is when I'm early. otherwise, it always runs over.

  • Miami has the nerve to offer "free public wifi" all over downtown. what they don't tell you as that you need a note from God to connect.

  • kind of a tricky situation, when you think you're ready, and then you find out....no, not so much.

  • one day, my ex and i are going to have a conversation about how she never told me that she could fucking sing. like whitney-in-the-90s sing.

  • those who speak, don't know. those who know, don't speak.

  • getting used to a new kind of solitude.

  • there is only so much satisfaction that a person can get out of sitting in their house for three days in a row.

  • this evening, i discovered that transmission is capable of showing download speeds in MBs rather than KBs. holy. shit. i. heart. lossless.

  • "i want to be like water. i want to slip through fingers but hold up a ship."


  • del.ici.ous
