My wanderlust is in full swing right now. Just called all my best friends and asked where in the world they currently are and/or are planning to be. Time to check out prices for plane tickets.

There are so many incredible and exciting things that are close (in relative terms) to happening to me and I can’t talk to anyone about any of them.  My friends all know that I’m not one to want to share my personal life with others, but this is different. I need to tell someone and I can’t. There’s way too may things going on. Fuck non-disclosure agreements.

I met someone recently who reminds me so much of Sara. The way she talks, the way she laughs, how she dresses. It’s like seeing someone come back from the dead. I’m not sure what to do with all of this. It’s overwhelming. I need to leave the country for a bit. I might just have to pull a disappearing act. Soon.

brigitrose asked: Hi, I’m doing a survey for school and would really appreciate your opinion if you feel comfortable answering my question: What do you think is the biggest issue which needs to be addressed in today’s society regarding teens: drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, eating disorders, self harm, or depression? Thanks so much for your help!(:

Watching Radiohead’s 2003 live performance of Karma Police at Glastonbury has made me really sad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2CZbTUUScY It’s not even my favorite Radiohead song. Nor does it sound perfect live, but goddammit, at the 2:37 mark when the entire audience starts to sing along to “And for a minute there, I lost myself” in effect drowning out Thom’s...

Shadows have been my spotlight as I monologue the night and dialogue with days, Soliloquies of wind and breeze applauded by sun rays, And motherfuckers think these are metaphors, I speak what I see, All words and worlds are metaphors of me

Sometimes I wish I could stop comparing every girl I meet to Sara. Nobody is ever good enough in comparison. Not even in the same ballpark.  I’ve read journals about people getting over their spouses deaths and it’s all a mixed bag of emotions. Sometimes people get over these tragedies in months, sometimes never. And I don’t want to compare myself to a grieving widow or...

fallingoutofoblivion asked: Hey Stan, I was following your travel blog for a while and now I'm going to china too. I leave in 10 days and I was wondering how much money I show bring. I'm going for 10 days and will be in Beijing, shanghai, and Xian. I only need money for street food and souvenirs as all meals and hotels are already paid for. Also, do you have any tips for while I'm there?

This morning, I was awoken by a text message a 6:15am. It was particularly strange, as I set my text alert volume low so I don’t hear them when I sleep. I roll over to my phone, and read that Rachel passed away that morning in Cape Town. I’ve been awake ever since. I don’t really know what to do. Or say. Or think. To those that knew her, and to those that thought that they knew...

Today, February 26th, 2013 marks one of the happiest days of my life. Trent Reznor announced that Nine Inch Nails will be touring again - THIS FUCKING YEAR! YES! YES! YES! YES! Their going away tour was so brilliant yet sad to watch. So glad Trent decided to come back. Also since he’s living in LA, he’ll have a few more shows here than anywhere else.  Words cannot express how...
