I saw two car accidents today. It's weird how life can change in a single moment.
I feel bad for people who's who life is just a series of mundane experiences; tv, food, a couple of movies and an occasional fuck.
You learn so much about yourself by the retrospect of how you dealt with the big moments. When she said "I'm in love with someone else," or when you ask what the doctor said, and they say "I have cancer and I'm going to die in one month," or "you may not know it, but you saved my life." That moment when you realize you've never been happier. Seeing a boy in a wheel chair on a freeway over-cross ramp put his hands in the air as his sister lets go and lets him speed down the walk way. Seeing a young girl dance in her bra on an empty, blindingly white beach against the most beautiful sunset you've ever seen.
Last March, I was scouting a freeway corner to beg because my 'Retail Management' job wasn't earning enough to eat. Today I gave an old man on that same corner twenty bucks.
Bill Hicks said that "matter is simply energy condensed to a slow vibration; we are all one and there is no such thing as death." If the universe is a spiralling funnel of energy coming together and then braking apart again, and we are all physically and spiritually connected, it only makes sense to try to spread love and happiness.
For me, all of this bullshit just simplifies life for me. I could be bound in a nutshell and consider myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I had bad dreams.

Truer words were never spoken. Your entries are interesting and thought-provoking. It seems you've been through a lot of shit... I'm glad that you can still keep a positive outlook on things. I know what it's like to hit rock bottom and to have everything you know fall apart around you. It's not always easy being alive.
