one thing I believe

 one time I was washing my hands and at the sink next to me this kid was washing a shiny bead necklace and I was like, "did you find that?"

And he was like, "yeah I'm the kind of guy who finds cool rocks and things and collects them."

And I thought that was so cool.

And another time last Sunday I was doing my little track workout and feeling a little moody and in the school next to the track there was a concert or something but this one boy was getting too antsy I guess because his parents took him outside to run around in his nice concert-going clothes. And as I'm walking to the start he runs down the long jump runway and jumps in the long jump pit and he looks at me and goes, "hey!"

And I go, "hey!"

And he goes, "hey!"

And I go, "you're gonna mess up you're nice clothes!"

And he goes, "I don't care."

And I laughed and went, "Right on. right on."

And I truly believe, in my very deep downs I truly believe if you collect those little moments and crystallize them in your memory and add them to yourself in some way that they will protect you and guide you through life. Times that are funny and joyous and pure. I really think that's essential to finding your way and ending up somewhere you want to be.
