"sayre" is pronounced to rhyme with "fair".


"I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs."

i didn't even have to move my feet. i just slid the whole way down. and though i tried, i couldn't stop laughing. because i felt just like mary poppins.

to capture the world.


i know this is shameless of me but, i am proud. last night i put on a dress, treated myself to a nice glass of wine, and pretended all the while that i was a famous, successful photographer. it was silly, but the best of things usually are.

jockey full of bourbon.

Good grief, I said, ‘If.' I meant ‘When.'



Peanuts was populated with children (albeit children endowed with the speech patterns and often the world-weariness of grown-ups), and adults were nowhere to be seen.
[...]
As a child, I felt for Linus, whose faith in something unprovable was stingily rewarded, if at all, with the knowledge that he'd maintained his belief in the face of ever-increasing doubt.
[...]
"He was not one bit embarrassed by what the others saw as foolishness. It gave me faith as a kid—faith to believe in strange things."

"Old pictures look rugged and young and the people in the photographs always seem alot happier than you are. I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are just as happy as I look in my old photographs and I hope they believe me."

hi kids!



She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

You don't know what it means to win
Come down and see me again

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again


six months of playing this record on mickey can't lie. i have a favorite song. 0:47 gets me. it's too short.

magic magic magic.

h: umm you should base it around something awesome
t: i should
ok heres your mission

putting more time, effort and energy into your job will bring rewards and ensure security. helping a friend is fine but consider what type of assistance you are willing to give-making suggestions, lending a hand, or cash injection.
h: hmmm
ok ok
what is yours?
t: terribly stressful
deception and personal problems are apparent if you let your heart decide your fate. you will have plenty of opportunities to meet someone but do your research and find out who is good for you and who isnt.
h: wow
stressful is right
t: terribly stressful
h: how is your love life?
weird question i know but just checkin in on my tamtam

in a sense that i am not getting all that i want
h: hmmm yeah i think i know exactly what you mean
just horrified to admit to it
t: i want magic magic magic

h: i believe you are right miss t
t: and i do too mr h

he was very excited about carrots.



joe ades (1934-2009).
“He cleaned up really well,” she said, “but still there were these little shreds of carrots that said, ‘I was here.’ ”
-new york times.

the skies were bigger than i ever thought it could be.

do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserve, but never have been able to reach. the world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

-ayn rand
