…The album is about “deciding that you want to be happy, or fighting to be happy or discovering that there even is such a thing as happiness. They’re all songs that say, ‘Let’s get down to living. I want to be happy. I want love in my life.’ Born and Raised is about realising it before it’s too late.
John Mayer - (The Australian May 26, 2012)

why do people procrastinate

waking up in the morning?
why do we chain ourselves
to our blankets —
drown out the new day
with curtains that shield 
the sunlight from our pupils? 

is it not exciting enough just to be alive?
//to have lived another day?
//to have the future ahead of you?
//to have the world at your fingertips?

wake up early tomorrow.
there is so much beauty to be seen,
so much music to be heard,
so many strangers to greet with a smile,
so many opportunities to find inspiration,
so many new ways to use your talents,
or just.. 
to be.

go to sleep now.
and when you wake up,
read this message again.
I’ll leave you with this:

good morning.
do great things.

go, now, & live.  

One man with a dream, at pleasure, 
Shall go forth and conquer a crown; 
And three with a new song’s measure 
Can trample an empire down. 

     Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, 
We are the Music-Makers

We talked about phonies. We talked about truth. We talked about gangsters: we talked about business. We talked about the nice poor people who went to the electric chair; and we talked about the rich bastards who didn’t. We talked about religious people who have perversions. We talked about a lot of things.
We got drunk.

I dont think it’s going to be weird for us; I feel like we’ve gotten through every possible stage of weird.
