“To every man, woman & child: we want an end to the glamorization of negativity in the media. We want an end to status symbols dictating our worth as individuals. We want a meaningful and universal education system. We want substance in the place of popularity. We will not compromise who we are to be accepted by the crowd. We want the invisible walls that separate by wealth, race & class to be torn down. We want to think our own thoughts. We will be responsible for our environment. We want clarity & truth from our elected officials, or they should move aside. We want love not lies. We want an end to all wars, foreign & domestic violence. We want an end to the processed culture of exploitation, over-consumption & waste. We want knowledge, understanding & peace. We will not lose because we are not losers, we are LASERS. Lasers are the opposite of Losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary. LASERS ARE THE FUTURE.”

let us play in the sun,
and count every beautiful thing we can see.
Miike Snow - Animal (Fake Blood Remix)
Definitely one of my favorite remixes lately. Loooove me some Miike Snow, except I hate when such a good artist becomes more well known; you end up being exposed to them way too much and it kind of takes something away from how awesome they were before you had to hear them 24/7. Ah well.
I used to rely on self-medication,
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I’m getting better at fighting the future,
“Someday you’ll be fine..”
Yes, I’ll be just fine.
Everything is Alright - Motion City Soundtrack
An oldie but a goodie;

Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked - Cage the Elephant
I was walkin’ down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said I never seen a man
Who looked so all alone
Oh could you use a little company
And if you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way
I said you’re such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself
She looked at me and this is what she said:
Oh there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Money don’t grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain’t nothing in this world for free
No I can’t slow down
I can’t hold back
Though you know I wish I could
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Not even 15 minutes later
I’m still walkin’ down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn’t lookin’ for a fight
He said give me all you got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I won’t think twice
I told him you can have my cash
But first you know I gotta ask
What made you want to live this kind of life
He said:
There ain’t no rest for the wicked
Money don’t grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain’t nothing in this world for free
No I can’t slow down
I can’t hold back
Though you know I wish I could
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Well now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
So I turned on TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn’t comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He’d taken money from the church
He’d stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can’t say much
Because I know we’re all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Money don’t grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain’t nothing in this world for free
No we can’t slow down
We can’t hold back
Though you know we wish we could
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
something to do with my hands - her space holiday
i love this right now.
