Thinking about it
I don’t have “regular” days anymore.
You keep me under your spell
“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic - and we’ll change the world.”

Why the Nike commercial? Oh and the teacher too, what did he teach?
Not the commercial, the slogan. “Just do it” is a great motto in general, but it’s amazing for an advertisement as a sports apparel company. With that slogan, Nike is the guy who’s working when you’re sleeping, the person who’s improving themselves while you sit and think about what you are going to do. Taking action is obviously a huge part of working out and being an athlete. He taught me English sophomore year of high school. Fortunately, I’ve had some really good teachers in my lifetime.
Yeah that's exactly what I mean, where people have to learn exactly what they already knew. Become closer to something that abruptly was weaned away from you. So yeah, sadly I am not your teacher. I am on the east coast though. Hey, what is your favorite poem, or line of inspiration, you know things that go deeper than Hallmark cards?
Then yeah, the “awesome” comment stands. I hope you follow me on tumblr because if not, you must have to go through some trouble to check my answers. Ha, I could only hope you were him. My favorite poem is “Ulysses” by Alfred Lord Tennyson and I could go on and on about it. I don’t really have a favorite line, but nike’s “just do it” is something that’s been in my head recently. I think its one of the best campaigns in the history of advertisement actually.
Well I loved that response, to the child memory thing. It's amazing that those are the memories that you remember the specific moment you realized you're alive. You wonder what you did and were thinking when you were like 2 years old, maybe we have it all wrong, maybe our most enlightened state are those few years. Anyway, I digress. What is your favorite part of college?
Imagine! We spend our whole lives trying to learn what we knew then. If I’m getting what you mean, that’s an awesome idea. “I Digress” You don’t happen to be Mr. Christopher Lund my favorite teacher ever, do you? That was one of his many catchphrases. Fuck, I miss that class. Are you in college (on the east coast at least), anon? Probably not because I get these messages more in the afternoon/evening. Then again, who’s awake in the morning? That’s a tough question. I really like a lot of things about college. The best thing is probably that my only job is to learn. Seriously. In and out of the classroom. I get to grow into myself and do anything that I want without many obligations. It’s a great freedom. Hell, there’s even a lot to learn in balancing that freedom and being disciplined.
I love New York dearly.
I have to read 4 short stories before I go to my next class and they’re all about NY. Reminds me of how much I love this city.
Irony.
Not putting much thought into what I chose to wear today (for once), I decided to throw random clothing on. It worked out that my upper body is sporting dark color clothing and my pants/shoes are very light. This perfectly describes how I feel right now
