“I’d tell everybody to pursue your passion. Those who have passions, we are the lucky ones. If you like painting, for God’s sake, paint. If you like writing, write.”
—Neil Gaiman (on living your dream)

“Music is a weird and cosmic thing, its own strange religion for nonbelievers, and what a joy it is to make, in any form.”

Passed out on the overpass, Sunday best and broken glass, broken down from the bikes and bars, suspended like spirits over speeding cars. You and me were kings over the parkway tonight.
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
singin’ “Everybody wake up (wake up) it’s time to get down”
(everybody, everybody wake up it’s time to get down).
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh.
“It happens all the time. Curiosities become obsessions. Outings become overnighters. Pastimes become passions. This is how journeys begin.”
