2:38 am blog posts.


there is no summing up the craziness of today... no keeping track of the thoughts that flipped back in forth today in the brain-hole.

but i'm here to record 2 am taxi talks:
where i am told the best way to live is without dreams.
not to set your happiness far away but to live each day, as they come.
day by day, enjoying the many things that spill out of them.
that is happiness.

where i am told not to strive for dreams.
and he asks me about destiny and control:
at each step along the road can come good or bad.
out of failure, good can grow:
out of hope's dust,  new chances.

watched over by someone, maybe.
someone who knows.

better.

he says, i am bright guy and
i used to be very proud.
people would tell me often how bright I was,
but now i look higher.

here are a few pieces of advice for you:
never borrow money.
live in your means.
don't stop thinking.
instead, write.

people can benefit from your thoughts, he says.
how old are you?
and you should meet my wife.
she says the same things you do.

I've been thinking too much lately thoughts have been clogging my mind. I feel like I'm at a crossroads of sorts but too scared to make the first step onto a new path. I'm crippled by ideas of right and wrong, good and bad, making foolish choices. I'm trying to figure out how you can know yourself and know your thoughts, know who you are and what you want.

2 am cab rides though,  man.
2 am cab rides do wonders to clear the head. Best twenty dollars I've ever spent of someone else's money.
