company greater maybe minute offering people shares wait wants worth
People say 'well, so and so wants to give me 1,000 shares but the other company wants to give me 3,000. Well, wait a minute guys, what do you think they will be worth in the end?' And maybe the company offering you 1,000 has greater potential?
adrenalin buzz crave gambler high managing maybe might move possibly risking seem sort supposed whatever
Sometimes, I seem to be only able to actually move and get going with things on the razor edge of possibly still managing whatever it is I'm supposed to do. I think, secretly, I might even get a buzz out of it. Maybe I crave the adrenalin like some sort of crazy gambler high on risking everything on the turn of a card.
The calmer and more well-ordered my desktop is, the more I can convince myself I'm on top of things.

Are Simon & Garfunkel cool, or are they just really uncool? I can't decide.

age books digital excited order symbols unlike work

electric great guitars nirvana people
I don't listen to Nirvana plugged anymore. I think there's a whole group of people who have semi-forgotten that Nirvana used electric guitars because of the 'Unplugged' album. It's so great.

dream clouds light
Already the dream was coming apart, its bright silk strands unwinding into nebulous emotions, little coloured clouds of feeling being dispersed by the movement of my waking-up mind. This is how it's always been with Light Bulb Fragment dreams; by the time I'm fully awake, they're gone.
smart coffee animal
It's a stark thought that when we die most of us will leave behind uneaten biscuits, unused coffee, half toilet rolls, half cartons of milk in the fridge to go sour; that everyday functional things will outlive us and prove that we weren't ready to go; that we weren't smart or knowing or heroic; that we were just animals whose animal bodies stopped working without any sort of schedule or any consent from us.
