When the sun is shining, everything in the world looks a whole lot better. The endless deadlines and piles of work seem to just disappear on a good fine day. Maybe it's just something about the way it warms your skin and soul from the inside out that makes it just so darn good.
Don't you just wish sometimes you could bottle all the good moments in life so on the days when the sun doesn't shine, you can be reminded that there is always going to be a better day tomorrow.
Selfish of me I know, but when the sun comes out, it's going to be a good day. It motivates and inspires me like nothing else. Am always happier on a sunny day because I know there are so many others around me who will be happy too.
It's like that song. Everyone has one. That one song, that one movie, that one person that just makes everything OK.
My favourite time of the year is when you can spend hours outside well after the sun has gone down without getting cold. Just before this time of the year rolls around the days leading up to it are truly beautiful too. Cloudless blue sky with just a little nip in the air, but as long as there is a couch inside with the sun on it I am there.
The weather has such a profound impact on me that I wouldn't mind packing it all in to spend the rest of my life chasing the ultimate dream of the endless summer. Maybe next time the sun comes out I'll pack my bags and follow it across the horizon as it waits to rise in another day.

I Have a Dream...
'If you can dream it, you can do it...' - Walt Disney.
Dreams are an interesting thing. When I say dreams, I don't just mean the ones you wake up from wondering what the hell happened, but the ones we all have. Consciously.
Secretly I am convinced everyone wishes they could fly. That's a dream of mine. I wish I could fly through the sky, not to be able to get anywhere quicker, but to be able to experience everything from a different point of view.
Imagine being able to soar across the tops of mountains and rivers, seeing all of nature's wonder at it's best with no limits or boundaries.
I read somewhere once that dreams are for those who are too scared to live in reality. That's the biggest load. If we didn't dream we would never get anywhere. But how do we dream without jumping off a cliff without a parachute?
It's all finding that fine line in between fact and fiction, reality and dreams. It's about writing your own story, whether you want it to be fact or fiction and playing the role you write for yourself good enough to win an Oscar.

Human Beans
Doesn't matter what you are going to fail at, but if your going to fail, group failure is the best way to do it. Not only is it convenient that you can all sit round and talk about how you are going to fail, but it just feels good to know that there are other people out there failing just as bad as you.
The only thing that feels better than all sitting around talking about how you are going to fail, but when you realise that you aren't going to fail quite as bad as the person sitting next to you.
It's horrible, but it's what makes us human. All those nasty little emotions that get in the way of every day living. Love. Hate. Greed. As horrible as it is, it's what distinguishes us from robots.
So the next time someone attempts to call you insane for being jealous that they stole your crush, or psycho because you kicked them out without their clothes, remember that you have the right to be crazy in love. Because you are human.

You Ain't Got Nothing Kid.
Right now, my life seriously needs some perspective. I have food to eat and a roof over my head and I think I have problems.
Problems are what starving children dying from malnutrition and hunger in third world countries have. Problems are what people have who experience violence and war, and as a result go through suffering and pain.
Honestly, I really have nothing to complain about. There is no one forcing me to do something I don't want to be doing. Essentially I am free.
I just have to stop sometimes and remind myself that it is not always about me, there is a bigger world out there than the one am currently living in.
