I hope that when the world comes to an end,
I can breathe a sigh of relief,
because there will be so much to look forward to.

Keep your hands and arms in, close to the body
Mark of a chef: messy apron, clean sleeves

I don't know about you,
but I really believe that there's
one
person out there,
and for me
it's gotta be...

You can just feel the details.
The bits and pieces you never bothered to put into words.
And you can feel these extreme moments...

Dad!
Thanks for telling me the story.
You're welcome.
I didn't tell you the happy ending.
What is it?
You.

What do you think is more exciting...
having sex or stealing cars?
Having sex or boosting cars...
Um, oo! Well, uh...
How about having sex WHILE boosting cars?
Oh, that's a good line.
Doesn't work on a lot of girls, though.
I just blurted it out,
I'm sorry...
But, you haven't answered the question.
Well, you see, the problem is...
how do you get over the shifter?


everytime i see her car.
i cringe

The Pursuit of Happiness


Pursuit of Happiness, originally uploaded by JohnAgustin.

Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny?
There was a man who was drowning,
and a boat came,
and the man on the boat said
"Do you need help?"
and the man said
"God will save me".
Then another boat came
and he tried to help him,
but he said
"God will save me",
then he drowned and went to Heaven.
Then the man told God,
"God, why didn't you save me?"
and God said
"I sent you two boats, you dummy!"

Serendipity


Serendipity, originally uploaded by JohnAgustin.

Trager secretly clung to the belief
that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences.
Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events
that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.
Ultimately Jonathan concluded
that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe,
we must all possess a powerful faith
in what the ancients used to call "fatum",
what we currently refer to as
destiny.

(S)He's Just Not That Into You

This is amazing. You can't focus. Right?
Jumping every time your phone rings.
Checking your e-mail a hundred times a day.
Wishing you could write songs.
Feeling the need to bring up her name in random conversations.
It's always the same and it has happened to you, my friend.
Shit.
Welcome to my world, asshole.
Let me get the door.

The exception and the rule.

it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years.
if not for today, if not for you
I would never have known love at all...
and this one's a heart...
my heart...
it's yours now.

Day and night.

What Dreams May Come


What Dreams May Come, originally uploaded by JohnAgustin.

"Here" is big enough
for everyone to have their own
private universe.
Where is God in all of this?
Oh, He's up there.
Somewhere...
shouting down that He loves us.
Wondering why we can't hear Him.

But see?
That's just the point!
It can't stop at once,
because it's in you,
and you can't stop something
that's inside you.

Were you just being nice?
About what?
About my idea. Do you think it's good, or were you just being teachery?
"Teachery"?
Bullshitting.
Do I strike you as someone falsely nice?
No. You're not even really all that nice.


Finding Your Element

so i decided to create my new blog... it might be entitled something like "finding your element" where i can post some of my favorite photos. some of you may already know what that means to me, but if not, here's my meaning...

it is the search to find the passion in our lives that gives us that utmost confidence, where and when we become almost untouchable; at this point we travel beyond reach, beyond comprehension, into another realm, another plane, another state of being, that we are our best in; we thus reach the highest form of euphoria incomparable when in this environment.

so, keep looking up words you don't know in the dictionary, keep researching subjects that intrigue you (even if it is through wikipedia), and keep staying up late immersing yourself in social and educational literature. drown yourself with people you love and care about; but most especially people that make you a better person. self educate, every day.

see you on the new blog.

p.s - before i even create it, i must give entire credit to bullet salvador for giving me the idea. i think exact words were "go find your avenue" to share my passion also. so if things look slightly similar, its because they are - and credit goes all to him, much appreciated. from the labeling, to the flickring, to the friggin presentation, i can't think of a better way to express myself but share it this way. i hope instead of this looking like a pathetic immitation attempt, it is seen as a respectful, admiration. Ultimately i feel a lack of creativity because of this, but i plan to find my own unique spin on this in the end. But here is the where you can find the real shit.
