I want what cant have

And it really pisses me off sometimes. I get this overwhelming desire to have or own things that I know are reasonably out of my reach. Yet the things that are within my reach I don't bother with, for one reason or another (usually some excuse I create as to why I cant have them). I keep saying I'll put a stop to it and go after these things but that's become a broken record in my head now so maybe I need another mantra or finally stop making excuses for things that can be easily resolved!

In other news, our house was broken into on Monday and loads of things were taken, yet we managed to find a message behind all of it. Aside from the obvious (lock your windows and doors), don't place importance on material things. They can be replaced, and often times with better things. Strip back the excesses in your life and enjoy the simple things.

Young Night Thought

ALL night long and every night,
When my mama puts out the light,
I see the people marching by,
As plain as day, before my eye.

Armies and emperors and kings,
All carrying different kinds of things,
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.

So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.

At first they move a little slow,
But still the faster on they go,
And still beside them close I keep
Until we reach the town of Sleep

by Robert Louis Stevenson

I am Jack's medulla oblongata

I wish my sleepless nights were merited by hours of hard work during the day, or the stress of massive assignments that are due in soon. Sadly they aren't and I find myself kept wide awake by the most ridiculous thoughts running through my head. Its like my brain has a full length conversation with itself and part of me stays up all night to hear the bullshit it's saying.

One good thing did come from all that last night and that was the decision to change the set up of my room. There isn't much space now but hopefully when I'm done there will be some kind of logical order in this room!
