,let go*

Drink up any doubt.
Mmm, are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind,
'Cuz it's all going off without you.
'Scuze me, too busy,
You're writing your tragedy.
These mishaps, your bubble wrap, when,
You've no idea what you're like...
(So let go) So let go Mmm, jump in
Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, '
Cuz there's beauty
In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah, let go
Just get in
Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright,
'Cuz there's beauty
In the breakdown.
It gains the more it gives,
And then it rises with the fall.
So hand me that remote.
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless, pleasure,
We've no time for later now, you,
Can't await, your own arrival you've,
Twenty seconds to comply.

La mujer perfecta


Nasrudin conversaba con un amigo.
- Entonces, ¿nunca pensaste en casarte?
- Sí, pensé –respondió Nasrudin. – En mi juventud resolví buscar a la mujer perfecta. Crucé el desierto, llegué a Damasco y conocí a una mujer muy espiritual y linda; pero ella no sabía nada de las cosas de este mundo.
Continué viajando y fui a Isfahan; allí encontré a una mujer que conocía el reino de la materia y el del espíritu, pero no era bonita.
Entonces, resolví ir hasta El Cairo, donde cené en la casa de una moza bonita, religiosa y conocedora de la realidad material.
- ¿Y por qué no te casaste con ella?
- ¡Ah, compañero mío! Lamentablemente ella también quería un hombre perfecto...

too damned short


The thing is, I was healthy my whole life till I wasn't.

And this past few months I've had a lot of time to lie around in bed and think about my life.

And the things that I remember best... well, those are the things that I wasn't supposed to do and I did them anyway.

See, the thing is, life is too damned short to be following these rules.

12 major firsts in every woman’s life





1. Losing your virginity, of course. But even bigger: your first orgasm with someone else in the bed.
2. The first time you get on a plane because someone far away needs you.
3. The first time you realize that you don’t have to plead, make a scene or even have a good reason—you can just say no.
4. The day you find and use your personal Tear Suppression Device at work.
5. The first time you step on the scale and think: fine.
6. The first time you scare the bejeezus out of yourself (Everest, anyone?) and love it.
7. Your first public-speaking triumph. (Yes, it will happen someday!)
8. The first time you take your sweetheart home to meet your parents…
9. …and have silent sex in your old room.
10. Crossing the finish line of your first marathon—the running kind, the work kind or the emotional kind.
11. The first time you turn on your heel and walk away from a bad-for-you thing.
12. The first time you realize there’s someone you would walk into a burning building to save.
