Mr. Clemens

I love Mark Twain, I've been looking for a good biography to read on him. I just found this thing that he wrote that is amazing and it makes me want to seize the day and travel and frolic in a field.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

PS here is a picture from when I drove out and saw the wildflowers.

lace 'em up

Even though American Apparel is exorbitantly priced and anyone who tries to buy something there is instantly labelled either a hipster or a wannabe-hipster, I can't deny that I am attracted to their new lace line. This dress is pure sexxxxxxxxxxx. (Even though I hate it with the white tights/leggings.)

city life

Another reason I want to move to New York? Amazing art exhibits everywhere, like this one, that focuses specifically on NYC. Love this picture of the girls flashing cars on the FDR.

day dreaming

I know it probably makes more sense to find a job before I start looking at apartments, but it's so much easier and more fun to browse apartment listings on Craigslist than find jobs to apply for.

I want more than anything to live in an apartment in New York with exposed brick and hardwood floors and tons of light like this place in Brooklyn. Ugh maybe someday.

rumi

"Forget safety, live where you fear to live, destroy your reputation, be notorious."

I read this on Rumi's blog, but ironically (or probably not at all) it is accredited to the 13th century Persian philosopher Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi.

Point is, I kinda want to live by this mantra from now on. It's pretty bad-ass.



Also what the heck, it just got SO WINDY. Like, hurricane force gusts. If it was raining, it would be raining sideways.
