May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

"Every day each one of us is a wayward SUV and a can of white Krylon away from becoming a ghost bike, and that's the way we like it. The Manhattan Bridge was closed to cyclists for ages while they built that fancy new bike lane you're now riding on, and it wasn't that long ago that the "bike lane" on the Williamsburg Bridge barely had a floor. Literally. You could see water. It was like crossing a rope bridge in the Himalayas. So if you're using the same bridge entrance every day and you're still terrified, you need a shrink or you need to move to the Bay Area. Urban planning won't help you."

at this very moment i wish i was sitting outside at the lake with a drink in hand in the warm dark quiet, staring at the water and talking with friends, wooden deck beneath my bare feet and clean air on my face.

"Steve and I talked about us preparing some kind of statement to express his gratitude to everyone for their love and support after he was gone. During our discussions I remembered a passage I had saved from a book [September, by Rosamunde Pilcher] I read many years ago. When I shared it with him, he said “That’s it — use that,” and so, as a thought from Steve, here it is:
'…Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old, familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight…I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. All is well…'
It has been said that, 'Both life and death are part of the same great adventure,' and Steve certainly made his life an adventure. Even with all the time and all the discussions we’ve shared through the years, I wish I could talk to him just one more time. I can only imagine the story he could tell me now."

it is pretty sad when your list of upcoming expenses to plan for reads:
(in order of priority)
- people who recently loaned me money
- four wisdom teeth out
- 2007 taxes
- all points west, m83, presets
- passport renewal
- backdue taxes from 2000
- ancient bank of america overcharge that i really need to put an end to
- new boxspring
- external hard drive
- old parking tickets
- new laptop
- serato
- fancy ass bike
- wakeboard
- pay down credit card
- pay down student loans
the fun stuff is so far away. :( i want to get a big loan, pay off everything that is accumulating interest individually, and then just pay back the one big loan. but i feel like that's just gonna rack up interest itself anyway.

when NOT talking to my friends, i often catch myself using inside jokes or language/phrasing that is only funny to people like me and my friends. i almost just wrote a work-related email and used the term "good news. i has it." i think i need more sleep.

he just nailed the exact reason why i love dance music so much:
“It’s just a matter of finding tracks that have some kind of feeling to them,” he says. “You do need some purely beat-oriented tracks that work on the dance floor. But when you’re on that floor, it’s important to be able to just close your eyes and enjoy what you’re listening to, and for that you need some beautiful sounds to help carry your mind away. It’s important to play music that helps people get rid of everything that they’re carrying around.”

just went for a long bike ride (well, seven miles, not much in the grand scheme of things, but it was only an hour and my first real ride) and totally cleared my head. mostly thought about how great, healthy and happy i felt.
my ass finally got used to the seat! better wear socks and a hat next time, my toes got cold. i wanted to keep riding and only came home because it got dark. and because i was hungry, ha.
i loved sports and was so athletic in high school and college and i'm really, really excited to get that feeling back. i am so happy to have a bike.

There's all these satellites, satellites, satellites
Orbiting you and me
Just one glimpse can change life, change life, change life
And you can see
Through all these satellites, satellites, satellites
Orbiting you and me
One glimpse change life, change life, change life, change it
I get so haunted, I fall in your dreams tonight
I get so haunted, That I misunderstood tonight

You can leave, and you could go out, search out
