Take the last train to Clarksville
I’ll be waiting at the station
We’ll have time for coffee-flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.

Love
“And I’m not saying love will make you happy—above all, I’m not saying that. If anything I tend to believe that it will make you unhappy; either immediately unhappy, as you are impaled by incompatibility; or unhappy later, when the woodworm has quietly been gnawing away for years and the bishop’s throne collapses. But you can believe this and still insist that love is our only hope.”
Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10-1/2 Chapters
(Best line of that piece…”impaled by incompatibility…” Such a visual! Definite mark of an Englishman. They leave nothing to interpretation. Bahahaha!)

Celebrating Bob Ross this weekend! Ha! He made it look so easy. Thank you Elise for spending the time teaching me all your skills and sharing your art work. I never thought that painting clouds would be the bane of my existence but you demonstrated great patience with me and I appreciate it! #ThisAintNoPaintByNumbahs

Do you know when a moment becomes a memory? When you say to yourself that I have to capture and hold on to this single second with my heart? I’ve been so incredibly fortunate to have shared some of the most memorable moments with the man photographed above.

Friday
When you believe in things that you don’t understand
Then you suffer.

“If something inside you is real,
we will probably find it interesting,
and it will probably be universal.
So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work.
Write straight into the emotional center of things.
Write towards vulnerability.
Don’t worry about appearing sentimental.
Worry about being unavailable;
worry about being absent or fraudulent.
Risk being unliked.
Tell the truth as you understand it.
If you’re a writer, you have a moral obligation to do this
and it is a revolutionary act –
truth is always subversive.”
