"In an embrace, she says for the second time that this isn't a favor. Because she wanted to. Two beautiful people that probably won't have much more than this sink into each other over and over. They become one for countless minutes until neurons explode like colorful sensory fireworks, and now they bowth feel more than they are. But only because of this. Every action, particulary this one act, reestablishes a numb-free feeling of love and godliness." - Alex Brown, 2008
"Ages people have wondered about what there might be in the space they can't touch. They tell tales of splendor and majesty so grand that faith is the only ground left to stand on, the story becomes more than a story, and they forget where it began. They have all lost sight of what is before them. They have forgotten that it has always been a part of them. We can touch the strings of the universe. The lucky among us can even wrap our hands around it for a short time...but the immense power beyond is too much for our fragile frames to withstand. We feel absolute glory, rapture, and ecstacy, it is wholly intoxicating...and then we have to fall into a trance as our bodies are rattled by the aftershocks, reverating while we try to regain our breath." - Nicholas Doyle, 2008

NOC
Night-Owl-Club, Welcome Aboard. Bedtimes are at 7-8a.m. Thank you for participating.
It's interesting how I manage to find ways of avoiding things that I want to do. I've had this book sitting at arm's length, and I've been meaning to read it for a few hours now. Multiple conversations have kept me from my goal, but I wonder if it's all intentional on my part? Perhaps I just like the feeling of a slight pressure in the opposite direction. I feel like the need to be elsewhere creates a certain sort of appeal to being here. I've noticed the same thing happening a lot with video games, which is kind of awesome. I like how I'll want to play a game, but I'll end up doing important things, instead. Maybe I should just start throwing in little things for me to think that I'm going to do, just so I'll do other things that I need to do.
So much to do, so much to say, so much to see... and I'm getting tripped up at the doorway.
I had some new friends over for the first time last night, and that was wonderful. They were great fun to talk to, and we've got a great deal of common interests. They even have sleep schedules as horrible as my own! I feel this may be the dawning of some interesting times to come. I'm so full of excitement and vigor...but that always happens this time of the morning. Don't know why, exactly. Some sort of energy rises from the earth and gives special powers to those awake enough to receive them, and I'll gladly take them.
But enough talk! I've got a book to finish, put in a box, and send far away from here. More on the book later.
I like the little "teeth" reflection.
Today's Highlight: Samantha finally came to town and gave me a haircut. It was becoming very necessary, as I believe that last one I had was in July. I've got a few before shots, and we should be taking some afters tomorrow, which I'm pretty pumped about. I love modeling.

"We flip our sense of being to the back of our brain. The world shifts and twists with the light as our view of everything we soak in twists about itself. We realize that which we see is not real (only to us), and that which we seek is at our fingertips." - Alex Brown (Dec 2008)
"It starts on the fringe, the most distant point, tracing a winding, crooked path over countless terraces as it seeks to find an entrance, searching desperately for solace, for sanctuary, for shelter... but we've shut the doors. Obliviousness harbors Oblivion. When the day finally comes that we stop looking so far across the sea for what we desire and finally find it all around, the walls will fall, and it will flow through us. It will course in us, soothing with a comfort we never expected to attain. It will pour through us, as something luminous, enlightening. It will begin at our fingertips, and we will end on our knees." - Nicholas Doyle (Dec 2008)

Hog Roast
A friend of mine is moving to Australia in a week, and when I asked what he would like to do for a going away party, he asked if we could roast a whole hog. I realize that he was delirious from pain medication from having his wisdom teeth removed, but when had delirium ever held me back from an adventure. I think we're in for something either incredible, or terrible. I can't wait.
