Starry night

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics : You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren't created at the beggining of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today.

yours truly.

Words to live by ...

Found this on another blog and thought it wise :

Look at you. You're young. And you're scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want, say what you want. Listen to the music YOU want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now, do it NOW. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life if yours. when are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want ?

Yours truly.
