Investment

"When I think about running, it feels like the best 45-minute investment I make in a day. It's enjoyable, it makes me feel better, and it's probably paying dividends way into the future. Running is a really easy choice."

John Fixx, son of running legend Jim Fixx

Sixty Seconds

For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love

Booth: Here we are. All of us, basically alone, separate creatures just circling each other. All searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some, they just give up hope because in their mind they're thinking, “Oh, there’s nobody out there for me.” But all of us, we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while, every once in a while two people meet and there’s that spark. And yes Bones, he’s handsome and she’s beautiful and maybe that’s all they see at first, but making love? Making love, that’s when two people become one.

Brennan: (awestruck) It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space.

Booth: Yeah, but what’s important is we try. And when we do it right, we get close.

Brennan: To what? Breaking the laws of physics?

Booth: Yeah, Bones, a miracle. Those people, role playing and their fetishes and their little sex games, it’s crappy sex. You know, at least compared to the real thing.

Brennan: (after looking at Booth thoughtfully for a while) You’re right.

Booth: Yeah, but - Wait a second, I just won that argument?

Brennan: Yup. (They both smile)

Everybody wanna be popular
Little kids just be watching us
Through binoculars and then they go to school and copy us
But hey I'm not knockin' y'all
But how can y'all not see it's obvious
Cause cops just be bloodin' on us
When the paparazzi be spottin' us
Cause everybody just wanna be on Mtv or BET yo
Maybe season MVP or maybe even just prom King or Queen
But everybody can't be a G
O to the D and everybody can't be O to the B
But I don't know maybe this is just how it's supposed to be
But this is what'll happen to y'all
You can go crazy and beat up drunks
The tabloids sayin' that you're hooked on drugs
You cutting up your face then you saw it back up
Look, there's plenty to see
And none of these games will be change me
Imma always be O to the B, me me
I'm famous

Please Don't Go

Just run away
From these lies
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah you got me begging begging baby please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here
I don't know
If you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you
Baby please don't go go go go

- Mike Posner, "Please Don't Go"

Tighten Up

Living just to keep going
Going just to keep sane.
All the while I know
It's such a shame.

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear.


Black Keys, "Tighten Up"

Closer

"Remember me, she said smiling
Write my name somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be who you'll dream

Everyday I try a little harder, dear
But those things you do, I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours, I'll have mine
No one guilty, no one right"

- Jimmy Eat World, "Closer"

Which are you?

"Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy."

A Friend

"I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better."

All At Once

There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin' as we reach for love
At least somethin' we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

- Jack Johnson, "All at Once"

Learn to Live

You gotta make some stances,
and take some chances.
You gotta live and love
and take all life has to give.
You gotta live and learn

- Darius Rucker, "Learn to Live"

Constellations

"It was just another night
With the sun set
And the moon rise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky,
We drew our own constellations..."

- Jack Johnson, "Constellations"
