Joan of Arcadia Season 2

No thoughts. Just quotes.

God – A man had 3 boxes. Each box weighed 5 pounds. The man weighed 190. The bridge could only support 200. How did the man make it across the bridge with all his boxes?

Joan – This is just cruel.

God – How did he get across, Joan?

Joan – (she moves her arms and glowing balls around in the air) He juggles. Yes, ok. I get it. He keeps one box in the air the whole time. Yes, I get it. What are you saying? That–that if I juggled boxes across a bridge I’ll see Judith again?

God – Joan, the bridge is life. The boxes hold your feelings– your love, your joy, your pain, your loss. Everyone is crossing a bridge with more weight than they can bear. So you juggle.

*

God – Well, there’s so many different people. They all need a different way of relating to me. And that’s what religions are– different ways to share the same truth.

*

People who changed the history of the world because of their unique and singular vision and their belief in that vision and not because of a diploma.

*

God – Want to play, Joan? (chess)

Joan – What, now God wants to beat me, too?

God – You have to stay in the game.

Joan – I am, as a decorator. There’s nothing wrong with that.

God – No, if that’s what you really want.

Joan – (sitting down) You know, I have a very good color sense. Even Adam thinks so, and he’s an artist, even though he hates me right now.

God – I know you’ve had a difficult time lately, losing Judith, questioning me. But you’ve learned so much. Use it.

Joan – How? Every time I think I’ve learned something, something else gets thrown at me. You know, Adam or Roger or feeling like a loser. Just makes me feel clueless again.

God – That’s because you see each event as an end in itself. But they’re all just small parts of something much greater, something that never ends.

Joan – You’re very matrix-y today.

God – You do everything that I ask without knowing where it’ll lead because you have faith. Have some in yourself. Other people do. I do. 
Joan – You’re being really nice to me. That’s weird.

God – Because I want you to see how much stronger you are than you think. Failure and disappointment– you’ve been through it before. It’s all part of the game.

Joan – But this isn’t a game. This is my life.

God – Every act you undertake– working at the bookstore, helping someone, even playing rock, paper, scissors– each of those choices is a move, and every move informs the next and changes you and everyone else like moves on a chess board. So there has to be a way to win. Sure. By playing.

*

God – Don’t be frustrated, Joan.

Joan – Why not? Things are a little bit out of control, don’t you think?

God – From where you stand, it may seem that way. But from my viewpoint, everything’s perfect.

*

God – When someone shows the world what people are capable of, they become an inspiration.

*

God – People don’t really belong to each other, Joan, regardless of what contract they sign. They choose each other every day

*

Little Girl God – And they all lived happily ever after. There’s a surprise. You guys really like that ending.

Joan – Yeah, well, you have a better one?

God – They all moved towards spiritual growth and enlightenment?

Joan – Yeah. That’s gonna work with the kids.

God – Ever notice that the guy always has to risk his life and the girl is nearly dead when he finds her? It takes a kiss to wake her up, and they ride off together. It’s a nice metaphor.

Joan – For what?

God – Death and resurrection.

Joan – Yeah, well, that’s a fun party game.

God – It happens all the time. The illusion dies so that something deeper can take its place. 
Joan – Are you saying that… Adam and I are an illusion?

God – Romance serves a purpose. It’s a meditative state. It puts logic to sleep so that people can come together. Otherwise, you guys probably wouldn’t risk it.

Joan – Why did you have to make love so complicated? I mean… couldn’t that one thing have been easy?

God – Love is big. It’s a bright light in the universe. And a bright light casts a big shadow. So what do you want to do, Joan? 
Joan – How am I supposed to know?

God – By looking at it. Real love is hard work. You have to decide if you want it in your story. Or…if you’d rather just stay in the dream.

*

God – Falling into silence just makes it impossible to survive. Your existence depends on the relationships you have with other people, Joan. Just as matter can’t exist in the absence of energy. See, it’s how I made the world.

*

God – Seeing the results of your actions is not important. Only the actions are. Like a recluse who wrote poems she never published… and here they are, touching people 100 years later. Your work is out there, Joanie. You just got to have faith.

*

Joan – God feels guilt?

God – Such an interesting question. Of all the life on earth, only humans experience guilt. Or innocence, or that matter. Dogs don’t. Birds don’t. Fish don’t.

Joan – Ok, I got it.

God – You see, you’re the only creatures with a conscience. The only ones able to distinguish between right and wrong. Recognizing it is the real problem, though, isn’t it? Don’t you love exploring such a complex issue? You should join mock trial. They love talking about these things, too.

*

God – Preparing the case, Joan?

Joan – Yes. Does god want to sit second chair?

God – This one you’re gonna have to figure out for yourself.

Joan – Oh, well, there’s a first. I can’t believe they’re going for self-defense. He so killed that guy.

God – Everyone has their own rationale for why things happen.

Joan – Yeah, and sometimes things are either wrong or right. You said so yourself. 
God – Yes, but figuring it out can be a real trial.

Joan – Cute.

God – [Chuckles] Thanks. You see, a trial is just an outward representation of what goes on inside people all the time. The moral debate: Am I good or bad? How do I behave in this or that situation? It’s a state of examination where hopefully, you find the truth.

*

Joan – You knew and you didn’t tell me. That’s your idea of justice?

God – I don’t interfere. You know that.

Joan – Yeah, well maybe free will wasn’t such a great idea. I believed in him.

God – I know. That’s what makes it hurt so much.

Joan – What did I do to deserve this?

God – Nothing. This isn’t punishment, Joan. It’s simply part of being alive, of being involved, of loving.

Joan – Yeah. I’m not doing that anymore. I’m never doing that again.

God – I know how painful this is. But what you and Adam had was beautiful, too. And that was every bit as real as the pain that you’re feeling now. You experienced how deeply two people can be connected.

Joan – So what do I learn when someone I trust destroys all that, huh? Maybe it was never real. Maybe you’re not even real, you know? This whole morality thing, right and wrong, it’s all just junk. We’re all just animals, taking what we want.

God – Do you know what innocence is, Joan?

Joan – You know, I don’t want a mock trial right now.

God – Well, it’s more than an absence of guilt. It’s having faith that there’s goodness in the face of cruelty and pain. Someplace, you still feel that way. And that’s me. And I’ll always be there. Oh, honey.

*

God: The Persians make the most beautiful rugs in the world– not that I play favorites. But on each rug, no matter how intricate and exquisite, the artist makes sure there’s some small defect. It’s called a Persian Flaw. It’s a recognition that perfection exists only in me, an acceptance that life can never really be lived exactly the way you expect. I love the colors. Nice.

*

God: You feel how painful it is to try and sever a connection, but they can never really be broken. All of creation shares a common thread, like your scarf. How you use that thread becomes the pattern of your life.

Joan of Arcadia Season 1

There are some songs, poems, stories, movies, or television series that you watch and think are cool, but that you never revisit again. They were entertaining, maybe even meaningful, but you never experience them again in your life and don’t really want to.

Then there are the experiences that are meaningful to you. The ones that you keep revisiting again and again. The ones that keep a strong hold on your mind and heart and become a part of who you are. At some point, you realize that you’re destined to keep revisiting that experience for the rest of your life, whether you want to or not, because that’s simply where your heart and mind and soul are drawn to.

Things of great beauty hold great power and like gravity, hearts are drawn to them. They revolve around them, continually. What is gravity? Besides a word?

“the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth.”

A force… I like to think of gravity as a word that describes a relationship between objects. If beauty is equivalent to planetary mass, then love is the force or relationship formed between people and art.

Beauty attracts. Love binds. And round and round we go.

I mention this because I have watched the two seasons of Joan of Arcadia three times, and I am convinced that for me, they aren’t just a television show. They are a form of beauty that I will be revisiting for all of my life, even into my twilight years.

Joan of Arcadia is a television series that ran from 2003 to 2005. It was shut down because the ratings were falling (despite viewer protest), resulting in two seasons that don’t lead to a final ending. It is about a teenage girl who one day is able to talk to God.

If you are at all interested in philosophy, religion, or the big questions, I would definitely recommend watching both of the seasons.

It is NOT a girly show, though I’m willing to bet that more girls will like it than guys.

I wanted to include some lessons/quotes that I recorded while re-watching the first season this week.

God: “Let me explain something to you Joan. It goes like this: I dont look like this. I dont look like anything you’d recognize. You cant see me. I dont sound like this. I dont sound like anything you’d recognize. You see Im beyond your experience.”

This is a thought I’ve always had. How can you say that there is no God? We have what? Five senses? Maybe six if you’re going to be creative? There are things that we, as human beings, can’t experience. We can build technology that will tell us they are there, but we are still limited by our brain and body.

How the hell can you say there is no God? How the hell can you be so egotistical to think you can define God? Seriously? God is beyond our experience as human beings, the same way that the stock market is beyond the experience of an ant, and art is beyond the experience of a blind animal, and algebra is beyond the experience of a dog.

A dog can’t understand calculus. How can someone think he or she can scientifically understand God, or define him with religion?

God: “Its not about religion Joan. Its about fulfilling your nature.”

Remember the last post I was talking about how I’m always saying “life is about…[insert]”

We’re adding to that list “Life is about fulfilling your nature.”

God – “The smallest catalyst can set of mind-boggling chain reactions.” Causing ripples.

Granted, you could say this is cliche, but I think it’s quite true…. in the episode, God is talking about wanting Joan to be a catalyst. Kind of reminds me of V for Vendette.

Priest:”Most miracles occur in hindsight”

Grin. So true.

“The most painful state of being is remembering the future” (Kierkegaard)

This is my greatest fear. That I will wake up one day in the future and be totally unsatisfied with my life, just like I am now. Only then, I will have no time left to change it. Just like in American Beauty, when he says he feels like he just woke up from a dream. I mean yea, he went about changing his life and was happy in the end, but just the thought of waking up and being like “this isn’t the life I dreamed about when I was little” makes me feel sick.

Joan: “No, I– I don’t know. I wish it didn’t hurt so much.”
God: “It hurts because you feel it, Joan, because you’re alive. You love people. That generates a lot of power, a lot of energy, same kind of energy that binds atoms together. And we’ve all seen what happens when you try to pry them apart.”
Joan: “So if I don’t get attached to people, then it won’t hurt so much?”
God: “No, it’s in your nature to get attached to people. I put that in the recipe. It’s when you guys try to ignore that, when you try to go it alone, that’s when it gets ugly. Its hell.”

Go up and read that quote again. Okay. I’m being a little bossy. But you should ;).

You can’t be brave if you’re not scared

Kind of interesting paradox. No one is immune to fear, bad times, or emotions. It’s about how you deal with them. How you respond to them. That’s what makes people different.

God: Do you want to know what grace is Joan? Do you know the meaning of grace? To touch a truth that lets you see the world in a new way. It’s a gift that can only be felt when you’re open enough to accept it.

God, I love that quote. ha… god….. “To touch a truth that lets you see the world in a new way.”

That’s all I got for the first season. There are many beautiful quotes, lessons, and scenes, but that’s all I wanted to record for future reference. The great thing about Joan of Arcadia is, in my opinion, it’s not a television show about Christianity or Judaism or the church. It’s about our relationship to life and each other. Obviously, the philosophical implications are taken in the context of a supreme being, but it’s still worth watching.

_________________________________

Now, I’ve done some thinking and I just need to get this out.

For those who believe in God, if someone asks you “why does suffering exist if God is benevolent and omnipotent?” I think a good answer would be, “because this world, everything you see around you, is a trial run. You are meant to learn from the experience. People suffer because it gives them the opportunity to learn from their suffering. From your perspective, death, murder, and killing by man or natural disaster may seem cruel and it may seem like such events serve as evidence for an evil god, but that is only because your perspective is limited by your physical existence. Think about it. When you die, as long as you are good, you will go to heaven and enjoy the fruits of everything god has to offer. It won’t matter to you then if you were killed, or if people you love were killed, because they will be there with you. Killing a baby may be a horrible crime, but if you understand that that baby goes to heaven where it is eternally loved and provided for, it doesn’t make it as bad.”

I’m not saying I believe that. Just the lawyer inside of me was thinking about ways to argue against that point and that came out.

Another thing…. I don’t think that religion is any different than philosophy. It’s just ethics and a viewpoint on life packaged into something we call “religion.”

Personally, I’m not sure what I believe in. I kind of think that I need to be an adult to fully decide and have kids and all that, but at the moment…… I do believe there is something behind the universe, but I don’t believe in any religion. I kind of see god as an extended and much wiser version of myself, the same way that a father is an extended and wiser version of a child. I see god as more of a mentor than a “parent.”

I don’t expect that thing to intervene in my daily life though. Hell, maybe it does in all of our lives, but I don’t think it specifically answers prayers or any of that stuff. The reason I believe is because there are laws to the universe that sprung into existence the moment the big bang happened. How can laws come from nothing? Ex. Gravity.

I don’t believe it is necessarily “omnipotent, benevolent, and omniscient,” but I like to think it knows what it’s doing or did, and has some type of plan. The latter part of that statement is more of what I hope, rather than what I believe.

I think it’s extremely foolish to try to detail God. It’s human nature to 1: want to have details 2: want there to be a plan? Why? Look to stories. People love books that have detail. They don’t just want to know the name of a character, they want the character described. One of the first things you learn in creative writing class is that details are everything and that one should write with concrete, specific language. Why? Because it makes the experience for the reader more real. Just like makes god more real and easy to relate to. The thing is, when you start to detail god, YOU start to detail god. God doesn’t give you the details. You’re pulling them out of your ass and conforming them to what you want to be. That’s why I think you just need to embrace the unknowable. It’s called faith goddamnit. Also, the second part of that argument is that people want there to be a plan because they like stories. Like to know there is an end and there is a place where we were (beginning. creation.) are (middle) and going (end). People want moments to be significant just like they are in movies. If there is a plan, every moment is significant, and that sounds like an awesome life to me.

I’m not saying that’s the wrong way to think or live, I’m just saying that I think when you go down the road of trying to describe god’s qualities, your game turns to speculation.

So to wrap this up (thought it will never be and I’ll write more on it probably later)

The bible is one perspective on God. So is the Koran and the Torah and the Tao Te Ching and  (insert holy book here).

The real perspective that matters is what we gather from our eyes. Like I said at the beginning of this post. Things happen. What makes us different is what we get out of them. Terrorist or freedom fighter? Mentor and teacher or savior? God’s word or a collaboration of authors?

What is clear me thinks is that what human beings really crave is significance and meaning. Some people get it from God, some people from art, some people from pointing a gun to someone else’s head, because when you do that, you become extremely significant in the moment.

Ermz…. soz yea, this was kinda long…. hehe…… sorry!

You can learn anything from a book except how to read. Also, happy belated july fourth.

So I figured for all of my lady readers, I would snag your heart with an uber cute picture I took while in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Now you all go “awwwwww… someone who takes such cute pictures must have something interesting to say!” Truth be told, I don’t, but we’ll pretend I do ;).

The days before the trip, I spent a hefty amount of time in Barnes and Noble. Why? Well… let’s just say if I didn’t, I probably would have gone postal on my parents. Okay okay, for all of you people who want to be parents one day, let me offer an important distinction that I think has to be made. I think…. personally…. there should be a point… usually when the person goes off to college or becomes an “adult” legally…. when parents should shift from being “parents” to being mentors. Parents enforce. Mentors advise. My parents still enforce. I wish they would step into the roll of being mentors. If they did, I would listen to them more carefully. Anyway.

I read a few pages from two of Tony Robbin’s books. OMG!!!!! They are so awesome and so filled with wisdom. I really wanted to buy one, but they cost to much for a meager college student to afford. I will have to wait for my birthday.

I also read some of Plato’s “The Republic.” I was surprised…. I mean, yes, I understand why Plato and Socrates are important figures in history. They introduced the idea of Socratic reasoning and the basic concept in philosophy and logic that says that words need to be defined before one can make an argument out of them (example. What is justice? What is liberty? etc.), but quite frankly, the book was rather boring lol. We had to read some of The Republic in my American Government class last year, but I didn’t pay much attention because I never paid attention in school lol. The only thing I remember is the cave scene.

Anyway, the point is that the book wasn’t as amazing as I thought it was going to be. There were some minor flaws in the whole circular argument thing. If you haven’t read anything on The Republic, basically, Socrates is known for questioning the reasons behind people’s arguments and he does it by kind of going in a circle and making the people prove themselves wrong. Which is cool, but the dialogue is obviously in ancient english, so it’s kind of hard to follow. I guess it’s one of those books that is important historically, but something that is more difficult to relate to now a days. Or maybe I’m just not smart enough to be able to appreciate it lol. Also… what is with the cave scene? Couldn’t he have thought of a less complex example to demonstrate the same concept?

At least if stuff on the earth isn’t going well all the time with the rents, it’s still beautiful in the heavens:

So… went up to Maine for the fourth.

As you might know, I’ve come to love art, so I ducked into a few galleries and antique stores….

This is a pretty awesome coaster….

Hope you liked the pictures. You can click on them to enlarge them. Hope everyone had a good july fourth!!!!

Review of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

“You give them something they can’t do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process…But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can’t do today” (37).

Initially, I wasn’t going to read this book. No way was I going to buy it for ten bucks. I know that sounds harsh, especially when you consider that the author was a terminally ill cancer patient who only wanted to impart a bit of wisdom, but the first time I skimmed through it, frankly, it looked dull.

I happened to come across it at the book sale and snagged it for a dollar. I figured that even if it might not seem worth it, it would probably be a good book to read and might widen my perspective on life.

Well, overall, my instincts were right. The actual book wasn’t all that profound. However, I’m glad I read it. If anything, it has turned my attention inward.

Let me give a little context for the book before I talk about what I got out of it. Basically, Randy Pausch was told that he only had a few months to live. He was planning to spend it with his wife and three children, but it was also time for him to give a “last lecture” that would be a culmination of all of the things he learned during his career as a professor. Initially, his wife didn’t want him to spend time composing and giving a lecture. It would waste the limited time they had left together. However, Randy couldn’t get the idea out of his mind. After long hours of contemplating, he realized that he had to go through with it. When he began thinking about what the lecture should be about, his thoughts turned inward. The only thing that made him unique as a person was the fact that he fulfilled all of his childhood dreams, and therefore decided to make that the subject of the lecture, which eventually resulted in this book. The book is a reflection on Randy’s dreams and how he achieved them. More importantly, it is a collection of the wisdom he gained over the years that he wants his children to know when they are old enough to understand.

I began reading this book yesterday on Colony Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. I would read a few chapters, take a dip in the water, and then read a few more. There was this rock pier on the beach and I walked out to the end, made a nest among rocks, and let the warm breeze blow over my body as my eyes slowly ran over the pages. It was perfect. More pictures on that in another post. I managed to finish the book in two days. I’m a moderate-slow reader, so that’s saying something.

Here are some quotes that stood out to me.

If you can dream it, you can do it” (16). Walt Disney originally said this.

“You give them something they can’t do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process…But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can’t do today” (37).

“The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something” (52).

This quote definitely made me think about how running, swimming, and working out tests my commitment to the higher goal of working for the fbi.

“The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people” (73).

“Time must be managed explicitly, like money…You can always change your plan, but only if you have one” (108).

“I figured Tommy’s big dream would never happen, but it might serve him well somehow” (118).

“Look for the best in everybody” (145).

“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted” (148).

“We all believe we have a right to a jury trial. And yet many people go to great lengths to get out of jury duty…Rights come with responsibilities” (175).

“Put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others” (200).

“My life had come full circle” (205).

I think a large part of this book focused on the immense impact that people have on your life journey, either because they inspire you or help you get where you want to go. It’s like my dad says…(basically) you never know what ripples you are making, so why not be polite and kind in every conversation and situation. You never know whom you are sitting next to.

Also, this book talked about how resourcefulness, hard work, and persistence extremely important. That’s how Randy achieved many of his dreams that otherwise would have passed him by. Actually, even more important than being a hard worker, is being willing to take social risks and put yourself out there even though you might get shut down.

After reading this book and reflecting, I think what Mr. Pausch is saying is at the end of his life, what mattered to him and what made life magical was people and emotions. Most of the lessons and bits of wisdom are there to guide the reader’s interactions with others, be they strangers, family, or members of a work group. Of course, his work related accomplishments give him satisfaction, but in his heart, I think it’s obvious it is the people in his life that gave meaning to his existence. The people who supported him and inspired him, and the people who he inspired and supported.

After I finished the book, I took a long swim in the ocean. It was freezing, but the cold felt good, especially when I swam out farther and was able to submerge my entire body underwater. Do you know what I realized? I couldn’t hear my heart beat. When I started swimming a few months ago, I could hear my heart beating like crazy. Now, it was nothing more than a whisper. The thought brought back to mind this quote.

“You give them something they can’t do, they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating the process…But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can’t do today” (37).

Two years ago, I couldn’t lift as much as I can now. Nor was I able to run four miles without stopping to catch my breath. I thought going for a run once a week was an accomplishment. Now exercising every day is no different than grooming. It’s part of the routine.

This past year I have done a lot of thought about dreams and how I have been selling myself short and not really believing that I can accomplish the things that I want to accomplish. In short, I’ve been a noob and a pansy. I think this quote is so important because life is about fulfilling your dreams.

I’ve said…. “life is about….” so many times. Life is about personal growth. Life is enjoying and appreciating beauty. Life is about finding your true nature. Now I’m saying that life is about fulfilling your dreams. Lol, looks like I don’t know what life is really about yet.

There is something about childhood dreams that makes them special. I think it’s because when you’re a child, there is a weaker barrier between your emotional impulses and the part of your mind that keeps reality in check. You know? You have dreams that stem from the core of your being, unchecked and uninfluenced by social norms.

So let me ask you. What were your childhood dreams? What did you want so bad when you were a kid? Think about it. Reminds me of the movie UP.

I think that part of growing up is developing the self-confidence to believe that you can achieve anything that you can dream, if you are willing to invest yourself in the process.

Anyway. Do some thinking about the dreams you had as a child. They might not have any influence today, because of course, dreams do change, but they also might have a profound impact. What might have even more of an impact is the motivation behind the dream. I remember most of the dreams I had from age five on, so I asked my parents what I wanted to be when I was really little and what trends they saw. It was interesting to hear their responses. Try it :-P.

A Friday eve…

I think if something profound were to happen that would make people realize that in this vast galaxy, it’s likely that we are the only living things, we would cling to each other more… like monkeys when thrown into a cold empty room…then again, maybe not.

Maybe that’s what Jesus meant when he said we should love each other. Because all there is in this wide space of stars is us.

If you were stuck on an island with but one other person for your entire life, wouldn’t it make sense to love them with all of your heart, no matter what they are, simply because they are?

Hmm…

This music made me very thoughtful…. I love music that starts simple and then increasingly gains complexity. A song should be a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Isn’t the age old formula that overlaying layers of simplicity creates complexity, which results in beauty. Granted, this song doesn’t have a good ending, but it has a damn good beginning and middle.

I watched Vertigo again last night. Did you know Howard Hughes would become obsessed with movies and watch them up to 151 times over and over again?

I realized that I like movies where lonely strangers are brought together in a moment of beauty. Or rather, a central theme is loneliness, the past, and reconciling the two. Seven pounds, The Fountain, Stranger than Fiction. Obviously, those are not the only movies I enjoy. It’s just a “movie mood” I sometimes get in. I’m so glad I was able to visit the Vertigo settings in San Francisco. It was very special and magical.

Yes, movies are quite amazing. Especially The Aviator.

Here’s the complete theme from Vertigo (I posted a less compete one earlier)

I also wanted to share my friend Chelsey’s blog: http://viva-plenamente.blogspot.com/

We are very much alike in terms of interests and personality (though also completely different in some areas).

She recently finished this AWESOME children’s book. The illustrations are seriously worthy of publishing.

I got some feedback on my last post with the ID EGO SUPEREGO dialogue. I’m glad people liked it!!! If you want to make a cartoon, go for it, but if you get rich, I demand 50 percent of the profits and a free cup of coffee every morning.

SPEAKING OF COFFEE….. THAT MAKES ME THINK OF TEA….. SPEAKING OF TEA!!!!!

OMG OMG!!! ARE YOU REadddddy????/////???? I went to Bamboo today (chinese restaurant in town) and ……. guess what!!!????

….

…

..

.

The tea there only costs about 75 cents, and it’s bottomless!!!! How amazing is that? Pretty fucking amazing.

LASTLY!!!!!!

For those of you who like the Shaytards….this is a rocking song.

The not so amazing life of TK, but still should say for journal-entry reasons: Heading to Maine for July 4th. THE TRIP TO LONDON IS OFFICIAL! Me, my dad, and my mom will be leaving around august! I’ll be in europe for my birthday!!!
