elated

elate: to make (someone) ecstatically happy

I have had a rapid and complete change in mood since my last post little over an hour ago. I spoke with Nick and he not only linked me a video of OFF! http://www.youtube.com/user/offofficial (during which I thought to myself, never before have I seen someone who is simultaneously balding and growing out dreds), but he also informed me that he bought tickets for us to go see Bad Religion and Bouncing Souls next month! awesome. I informed him that he had no idea. my day was going so crummy up till then. I am now elated (more or less at least).

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
