Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.
Anthony Bourdain

Be here and now.
Jawad Khaki

Modern Homeless
Pekka NiikkonenI orbit earth like the moon
I come out at night
And then fade away
Only shadow remains
I surface back from somewhere
I think I don’t belong anywhere
Maybe I don’t need to
‘riders on the storm’ plays on the radio
I don’t wanna go to sleep
at nights strange dreams I see
wonder if they’re messing with my head
in my heart I know where my home is
The path I’m on ain’t taking me there
from place to place I go
just visiting them
not to stay
‘can’t find my way home’ plays on the radio
there are many great places I know
most are charming to us
for me there is one
it takes me to the reality
not away from it
so I think we know
the direction we should go
believe you’d like it too
I’ve been thinking
happy I may not seem (to be)
but the thing is
I can enjoy my life anywhere
what’s a place anyway
it’s combination of things
the ones we relish
‘Where Do You Think You’re Going?’ plays on the radio
If I was on one of those TV shows, quiz. Name the members of Pink Floyd?
Pekka Niikkonen
Sid was one them, Sid Vicious I think it was. He died. Then there was Roger, yeah Roger Moore. And David, Bowie I believe. And Richard, Branson I’m pretty sure. And of course, Nick Cave. Nailed it, didn’t I?
No one is you and that is your biggest power.
Dave Grohl
