It’s 3:34a, and my mind is overflowing with thoughts. Coffee “dates” are probably a bad idea for someone like me because I do actually enjoy getting to bed at a reasonable time. This isn’t the case for me tonight, however.  Instead, I’m wide awake listening to the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album, and it’s quite amazing. I sit here with all these thoughts, but I can’t quite put them into sentences – I blame the caffeine that is running it’s course through my system.

I had a rather interesting night tonight. It’s always so interesting to meet someone that has such an intriguing past, and upbringing. I never realized how much religion can impact a family, and a hinder a person to experience life, it’s so mind boggling. I’m thankful that I was never sheltered growing up. I did have my restrictions, but I was able to live, and be who I wanted to be. Sure, I had my rough times, but everyone should have a rough time. I believe they define the person if they’re able to grow from that experience. I’ve always believed that life is full of experiences, both good and bad. They all happen for a reason, and it’s up to you to take something from them. I never want to stop living and experiencing moments, because I grow each time from them (or so I’d like to think). I’m just so intrigued about this particular individual, that it’s almost like watching a child grow up, and experience moments that most of us are fortunate enough to have gone through.

Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun.

I believe in the country America used to be. I belive in the person I want to become, I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever- I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself- I Ride. I Just Ride.

Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them?
I Have.
I am fucking crazy. But I am free.
