Follow It West
During the last couple weeks of summer vacation before I moved to college, I got together with my close group of high school friends for the last time.  I can’t remember if it was the very end of July or the very beginning of August, but that’s not really important.  What is important is that it was the last time we would all be together for an indefinite period of time, before we all...

How You Know When Fate Is Slapping You In The Face →
It’s the unexpected; it’s not understanding how or why you’€™re being led in the direction that you are. It’€™s the misunderstood that turns out to be the miraculous.

Exactly
Some nights the music is at exactly the right volume, the crowd is exactly the right size, you drink exactly enough alcohol, and you’re with exactly the right people.  As these nights are not all that frequent, when they present themselves to you, you shouldn’t even think about going home until 4am.

In addition to our extensive knowledge of quality literature, ability to make bomb-ass mixed drinks, sing and dance to almost every Justin Timberlake song, cook delicious things on the grill, and build TV stands, Kelicia and I can clean all the rust off of a battery cable and get the car running again.
