serichai. identify?!

i'm not much one for the past, i'm more concerned with the future and where my life is going.

About Me


i'm an optimist that carries an umbrella.

i crave genuine interactions even more than hummus and cigarettes combined.

...the only way you can be saved is to sing. in other words, the only way to drag up, from the depths of this depression, to drag up your soul to its proper bliss, and understanding, is to give yourself, completely, to your heart's desire. the image will be determined by the heart's compass, by the compass of what the heart moves toward and desires. and then you get on your knees or on your lap or on your head and you sing and chant prayers and mantras, till you reach a state of ecstasy and understanding, and the bliss overflows out of your body."- allen ginsberg
