First, I believe that everyone should have one object that they really want that they have to wait for for a long time to get or possibly never get. Even if you can afford it and even if it would be easy to get or even if someone offers it as a gift the object should not be had by the person who wants it simply so that he can learn the value of the object and more importantly the value of really wanting something. The art of valuing things, waiting for them, working for them, and saving for them is a lost art. Too often and too quickly can we obtain whatever it is that we want; literally, with just the click of button or the swiping of plastic we can have whatever we want. Sometimes it is much sweeter to want something than to have it.
Second, among other random thoughts, I am in love with a song. Here it is:

Flightless Bird- Iron and Wine
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down.
