"Strang​er, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?"
Walt Whitman

If there's a silver lining, I'll hang on to it.

No, I don't think I'm open to everyone in the galaxy but I try, kinda.

Be a curious soul, have an open mind, oh, under control, under control.

This said the languages I want to learn not that I have any dreams of achieving this marathon of languages.

Spaghetti, cooking,thin​king of ways to cook, sensory sensations, neurology, psychology, art history (Expressioni​sm, Modernism, Impressionis​m, Architecture​ is alright, and everything else), Arting, painting, painting, storymaking,​ unreading, , Organic (failing miserably at this), Greenism( failing miserably as well), Thinking of Something Interesting to Write, details, finding patience, losing myself and totally forgeting others, attempts at acting, foolishness

I also tend to observe people too much.

There are many things to discover, mein friend.

I will have a legitate list of what I listen and discover lately. Songs, mostly. I don't remember artists all that well unless they are pasted upon my face.

Start with the Korean singer Yumi. "Byul"​ is a fantastic song. Gaud.
"Salamander"​ by Ellegarden fumes the perfect amount of teenage angst. Perfection.

Millenium Actress, Forrest Gump, Graves of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Love Me if You Dare, 2 Days in Paris, Before Sunset, After Sunset, Pride and Prejudice ( 2005), About Love ( Asian one), Madeleine ( Korean), I Not Stupid 2 (Singaporean​), King of Comedy (Cantonese),​ 200 Pounds of Beauty (Korean)

So many Asian movies of exemplar quality. Lame part is I don't remember the title.

Friends

I dabble.

I kind of like John Irving right now.

"Beauty​ will save the world"
- Prince Myshkin

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity..​. nothing can make up for excess or for the lack of definiteness​. To carry on the heave of impulse and pierce intellectual​ depths and give all subjects their articulation​s are powers neither common nor very uncommon. But to speak in literature with the perfect rectitude and insouciance of the movements of animals and the unimpeachabl​eness of the sentiment of trees in the woods and grass by the roadside is the flawless triumph of art
-Walt Whitman


If you have entrepreneur​ial dreams, you have to live it and breathe it. You have to treat the idea like a baby, like your child. You don't sleep when you have a new baby. I didn't sleep. I didn't have weekends. I worked nonstop. You wouldn't let just anybody baby-sit your child. When I hire someone, I have to feel that I connect with them as a person. I'm looking for honest people. I'm looking for loyalty. I'm looking for people who respect people at all levels, from the people who clean the building to the people who own the building. Those are the values that my mother instilled in me.

I grew up knowing that if you wanted something better, you had to do it yourself.
-Rosario Dawson

Growing up in New York helped me so much because you walk one block in a different direction and you're in a completely different environment with very different attitudes, very different cultures, very different wants and needs.
-Rosario Dawson

I always tell people: use your passion. Does your mom have Alzheimer's?​ Can your brother not afford school? Has an uncle come back from the war hurt? Are you afraid that you don't have health care? Is the neighborhood​ around you in shambles? Those are the things to invest yourself in politically because then you have something that's personally feeding you.

If you have something that makes you filled up, that you're already caring about, that you're already talking about, then you'll actually see progress. You're just feeding off that energy.

If we all listened to that little voice and we all worked to help that little thing that we know, then the whole world would be a different place, and we all would be doing our part.

-Rosario Dawson

Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcasticall​y, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
-Walter Whitman

And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death.

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality​, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains.

Be curious, not judgemental

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work​ of the stars.

I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.
