Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood
I love the attributed dream behind why he wrote this song. What if all mental barriers fell and we could see, perhaps even experience, each other's true thoughts and emotions? This grand "step" would hit humanity like a Flood. There would "be no actors."

Life is a Mighty River Dammed Against Stone
I rush life at a homicidal pace.
This last month I had styled myself around the phrase "almost there." Almost 21. Almost done with college. Almost a science teacher. I lived under action verbs. For the first time since midterms of last semester, however, I spent the weekend at home studying and little more. Granted it was not by my own initiative as I had plans to spend Friday night with some friends at the Holy Grail Pub in Plano, but once that schedule was foiled by illness I decided that I needed to catch up on Calculus 3 and Statistical Physics assignments lest I suffer from bewilderment in class for the next two weeks.
Somewhere between the closing hours of Friday night and Saturday morning I thought about how I tend to overlook the present, the now. I'm a future-oriented person and will in all likelihood remain such, but I think I can do better about appreciating ongoing circumstances.
I've been on this path to self-awareness for sometime now by rebuilding a large network of friends, but I'll try to drive it forward. I've actually scheduled some great dates over the next few weeks over activities like wine tasting, book club meetings, dining in Dallas, and even archery training [lol].

Baby I like it
With the financial assistance of my parents I rented a suite for Saturday night. I'll be celebrating my 21st birthday in the company of my closest 10 friends. I thought about repeating JoJo's party experience at my house with over 40 people present, but some uninvited guests show up and they really can't hold their liquor.
I'm setting up the playlist right now. Needless to say Enrique Iglesia, Daft Punk, Nero, and Lil' Wayne (shots, shots, shots) will be our esteemed vocal guests.

Fuck it.
You're such a disgusting, manipulative, selfish, cowardly human being. I can't believe people approach me out of the blue informing me that you're still writing/saying shit and living in your fantasy world of "woe-is-me." Fuck you. You'll never find comfort and security in this life because you're clinically insane and in denial. You used me and complained cause I had emotional upheavals after you strung me along like an idiot - I was the "villain" who compelled you to have no life. Yeah, bullshit. It takes an idiot to claim someone doesn't commit to family when you're dragging them upstairs every chance you get. Go to fucking hell you monster. Losing the "comfort" of your ugly heart and ugly face was probably the healthiest change in my life.

13 days left...
Bond was incorrect: martinis should be stirred, not shaken.
Mumford and Sons is one of the few bands on the radio that consistently puts forward great material. I really, really like the song, Winter Winds - probably more than Little Lion Man.
