“You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.” xkcd, Choices: Part 4

But it took convincing.
I was shaking, screaming,
I was still alive.” The Delgados, “Woke From Dreaming”

Same block, same nigga,
Same park, same green,
I guess we got the same dreams.” Young Jeezy feat. Akon, “Soul Survivor”

“Just when I think I’m winning,
When I’ve broken every door,
The ghosts of my life,
They’re louder than before.” Tenth Planet, “Ghosts” (Vincent De Moor Mix)

[Usher]
There’s always that one person,
That will always have your heart.
You never see it coming,
‘Cause you’re blinded from the start.
Know that you’re that one for me,
It’s clear for everyone to see.
Ooh baby,
You will always be my boo!

…

[Alicia Keys]
Yes, I remember boy,
‘Cause after we kissed I could only think about your lips.
Yes I remember boy, the moment I knew,
You were the one I could spend my life with.
Even before all the fame, and people screaming your name,
I was there, and you were my baby!

” Usher feat. Alicia Keys, “My Boo”

Sony MDR-V700 DJ Headphones

These are the only headphones you’ll ever need for working in a loud public place.  I’ve had mine for several years and they’ve never let me down.

What we share or not I will ignore,
And I won’t waste my time fitting in,
‘Cause I don’t think contrast is a sin.” Millencolin, “No Cigar”
