I remember black skies, the lightning all around me
I remember each flash as time began to blur
like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
and your voice was all I heard

so give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

There's nothing like old friends and new perspectives.  My old boss from my internship was in town for a Polka band he loves, and while we were at lunch, good simple conversation took a profound turn.  There can never be world peace, he says, because the happiest people in the world are Polka people, and even they can't get along with each other.  I said, why not look at it a different way?
We will have world peace when the Polka people of the world can set aside their differences and focus instead on their love of the music.

Most random pickup line ever.

"Hey.. do you ride horses?"

Cats hate the smell of citrus: oranges are used in cat repellent, etc.  But.... as usual, someone forgot to tell Caspian how cats are *supposed* to be.....

I was told once that in every mile of sand, there is a grain from every other mile of sand on the planet.


"I did what I set out to do. I said all I wanted to say. Somehow, I knew that I was needed, and I was there for you. Our worlds met for a brief time once again. Now you'll be alright, and so will I.
Farewell again, my friend. If you need me I'll be there."


Like sand in your palm.. the tighter you grasp, the more I slip through your fingers.
But.. if you let me blow into the wind... once I've swept across the world, I will return.

My little wind rider cub... Kuna has a new friend now.  He needs a name, any ideas?

For old time's sake.  When lack of sleep and good conversation meet...

If I ever needed help, it's now.  I hit the halfway point and I'm slipping.  This might be the hardest part, but if I can get through this, I can make it.  I hope.

Funny how life seems to get complicated in every way, all at once.

Maybe.. you're gonna be the one that saves me..~

Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.
