<3 this!
Discovered via my Tumbla Dashboard!
“She leaned over and opened her little satchel and unstrung the set of Buddhist flags she had bought through a mail-order catalogue. She put on his t-shirt and looked at the struts that bolstered the overhang by the door. ‘Can you help me, Coop? I need to get up there. We can tack this to the rain lip over the door.’ She already had his hammer in her hand, and a nail. He crouched so she could sit on his shoulders. ‘Time for the heart and the mind,’ she sang. ‘You need to be wind-blessed!’ He could feel her wetness at the back of his neck, as she reached up and attached one end of the strip of flags so the snake of it fluttered loose, free of the earth.
There are five flags, she explained. The yellow one is earth, the green one is water, the red is fire - the one we must escape - and white is cloud, and blue is sky, limitless space or mind. Coop, I don’t know what to do. She was on his shoulders, in mid-air, looking into space.”

This is an awesome video/post:
I just want to say… thank you to everyone who thinks I am worth one damn second of their time, just as me, and nothing else. Thank you to my family, who continually show me the meaning of unconditional love; thank you to my friends, who never fail to support me and somehow manage to put up with my inner dork/geekdom, and finally, thank you to all of those artists and people around the world who, while I may have never seen you face to face, have provided me inspiration, guidance, and encouragement from the very beginning.
The pressures of this world can be overbearing, but somehow, you all make it seem so damn worth it. No matter how small the moments we’ve shared may have been, you’ve made me a better person. So this is my way of giving the big old bird to all of those pressures and instead, being, well… being me: make-up less, hair-styled less, sexified-less and…… I could care less!
Music is from a Third Eye Blind 1999 demo entitled ‘All Right Caroline’ (My favorite band, ever. Check out their new album, Ursa Major, available on iTunes).

Alrighty, check out how I discovered this photo: I was watching episode 227 of Diggnation and towards the end Prager mentioned his Flickr URL. I went to the URL to see a photo he was referring to.
I looked at a few more of his photos and noticed one of a Red One camera. In the comments of this photo I saw the user maubrowncow left a comment. The username looked familiar, so I clicked it.
I looked at some of his photos and didn’t recognise them or the user, so I decided to see what Kevin Rose’s Flickr profile was like. One of Kevin’s most recent faved photos was this magnificent lightning photograph by Frank Fennema. I viewed some more of Frank’s photos and had a look at the EXIF data on them. I noticed he shot the lightning photographs with a Nikon D300, so I decided to see what that camera looked like.
In the ‘Interesting photos’ below the stats about the camera I saw this very photograph you see above by the user known as lilpuddlejumpers.
I love stories!
