That’s essentially what we all are. A “troubled soul”, are we not? Even the best of us. At any given time, there is the presence of some burden adding extra hindrance. Extra weight. The extra struggle. Maybe as light and of little consequence as trying to find the remote. Maybe as mentally destructive and massive as being 6 months behind on the mortgage payment. We all have our own issues. Each and every one of us. Each and every one of us that is travelling this Earth. Travelling this Earth using our own modes of transportation or “coping” towards some end point of final bliss where we get to say “it’s finally over”. And don’t we all look for those to join us on our trip so it’s not so lonely?
So while on, what I guess you can call, a date, we were talking about things we like and what we want to do in the future and I realized there a lot of contradictions in my head. Like a whole innumerable amount of them. So here is just a tiny tidbit of what I can’t hope to understand in there.
A poem of sorts…if you can call it that. I wouldn’t, but it’ll sound like one. Continue Reading
I had a much different post intended for later today, but as I was scrolling through my Instagram subscription feed as I so love to do (follow me at ckashaan and link to my profile on top), I came across the cutest picture of this couple and I was inspired to jot down a thought or two. In this picture one person is just laying in bed, bundled in the covers, looking at the camera and the other is serving up a kiss on the cheek with pure side-eye cuteness. Ahh, to be young in love. It’s the most precious depiction of a morning from a couple totally “head over heals” for each other.
And it is exactly what I want. Continue Reading
Over the course of my driving “career” I have been asked “why do I like road trips so much?” and I’ve often asked it of myself. I drive for hours with little breaks, monotonous highways, and all those bugs on the windshield. I think I’ve formulated the answer, but we shall see if that is true. I’m from NYC (That’s New York City if you’re unfamiliar). Born at a hospital in Long Island. Lived in Brooklyn, even up to now. Raised as a Manhattan/Brooklyn kid. Worked in Queens. I know this city like the back of my hand and sometimes that nauseates me. I’m from the city that so many people I talk to want to visit, yet I feel like I’m in a cage with a lot of people and infinite amount of activities.
That should be a good thing right? I’d never get lonely or never run out of things to do. Continue Reading
Great list to pay attention to.
This just showed up on my twitter feed and thought it was pretty interesting. Everything listed on it is common sense, but since common sense is not so common; I decided to post it in here. For the older folks reading this. Do you have any words of wisdom to share with the youngsters?
I ask you, what is the one thing, given infinite opportunity and no restrictions other than the combined limit of the human body and laws of theoretical physics, you wish you could do in life? What is your dream? Or if you want to be difficult, what are you dreams?
Mine is super specific because it’s something I used to stay awake over. I used to fantasize about in my sleep. Daydream about it during school until I realized it really is pretty impossible unless by some stroke of luck, the lottery, and major circumstance change will i ever be able to accomplish it. My dream is to drive a 2008 BMW M3 GTS on the Nürburgring Nordschleife roadway. Yep, yep. I want to take my favorite car, which is German, on a German track. The “Green Hell” is one of the nicknames that have been given to this insanely technical track.
Just 2 laps would be enough for me to die happier than I ever thought possible.
