And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.

Fuck them is what I say. I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future. They may well be. I will be dead. I won’t give a shit.

Supernova 1054 AD

In the year 1054 AD, astronomers in many parts of the world recorded an extraordinary event … the appearance of a brilliant new star in the sky. The starlight was so intense that it could easily be seen in the daytime for over three weeks, with rays seemingly stemming in all directions, and it persisted in the night sky for over two years. Estimates of its brightness range from several times that of Venus to nearly that of the Full Moon. Unknown to these early sky watchers, they had witnessed a supernova … the colossal explosion of a massive star at the end of its life. The star lay over 6,000 light-years from Earth, and the still-expanding cloud of debris can be seen with a telescope today, known as the Crab Nebula. In the pre-dawn hours of July 05 in that year, a slender crescent Moon hung in the sky very close to this spectacle. A Native American Anasazi artist is believed to have captured the striking view by painting the scene on a rock face in the Chaco Canyon of New Mexico, shown here at the lower right.

My cemetery’s in Key Biscayne. It’s one of the prettiest in the world. The sky is blue, palm trees, rolling hills. The one is Los Copa’s really shit. [sigh] What a pain in the ass you are. And it’s true: you’re not young, you’re not new, and you do make people laugh. And me? I’m still with you because you make me laugh. So you know what I got to do? I got to sell my plot in Key Biscayne so I can get one next to you in that shithole Los Copa, so I never miss a laugh.

Your brain doesn’t like to keep secrets. Studies show that writing down secrets in a journal or telling a doctor your secrets actually decreases the level of stress hormones in your body. Keeping a secret, meanwhile, does the opposite.

You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.
