&lt;p&gt;I’ve never told anyone this (mostly because I just thought of a way to describe this), but when I see things that really make me happy, my mind sends out millions of invisible mono-filament tendrils that wrap lovingly around things regardless of whether or not they have any shape or form.  This is a wholly internal sensation, and elicits little to no outward espression if there is anyone else in the room.  If I am alone, my teeth expand bigger than my mouth in order to hold back the sheer glee that is audibly expressed as something that can only be described as a strained squeel.  The remaining wash of this mental orgasm expands from the back of my cortex, flowing quickly down my spinal column and comes to rest in my stomach, heart and upper palate.  or something like that.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://javan.tumblr.com/post/235818694</link><guid>http://javan.tumblr.com/post/235818694</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:04:41 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>(via glassandahalffull)

I told them this story: In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, “Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you.” And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, “Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest.” So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Tom Waits (via &lt;a href="http://liquidnight.tumblr.com/"&gt;liquidnight&lt;/a&gt;) (via &lt;a href="http://lafave.tumblr.com/"&gt;lafave&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://javan.tumblr.com/post/186313216</link><guid>http://javan.tumblr.com/post/186313216</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:31:41 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I feel like David OReilly is someone who just gets bigger and...</title><description>&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5699275&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF"&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="best" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="showAll" /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5699275&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF" /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5699275&amp;server=www.vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel like &lt;a href="http://www.davidoreilly.com/"&gt;David OReilly&lt;/a&gt; is someone who just gets bigger and bigger, yet still manages to remain human.  I really admire that about him.  One of these days it would be nice to sit down with him over a beer or two.  I’m not the biggest U2 fan, but my first impression of this video and it’s subtleties is very good.  Teamed up with designer&lt;a href="http://www.burstofbeaden.com/"&gt; Jon Klassen&lt;/a&gt;, it makes a gorgeous visual paired with some heart string moments.&lt;/p&gt;
