If I made a movie, this would be in it.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

-Jack Kerouac, "On The Road"

**It is traditional of Yemeni men to carry with them a dagger with them always (she mentions taking away daggers from the boys at the Mosque) . Also, Hadith refers to reports of statements or actions of the Prophet Muhammad, or of his approval of something said or done in his presence. They are important in Islam for understanding the Qur'an  and Fiqh (Islamic Law). There are different Hadith in Sunni and Shi'a Islam.

Pop binge.

I feel like theres been a flurry (yes i just used that word) of pretty good pop songs on the radio. Thats such a relative satement, but considering that I've never been a big fan of  the Kiss FM sort of music, I have to say that lately I've been pretty into it. This one's my favorite... I adore the message and video. I didnt like the song the first couple of times I heard it but I've warmed up to it. If  you've already heard it, give it one more go and find something for yourself in the words.



These are just for kicks.

Its getting cold on this island.
