Concrete Inspiration

So I was on the interwebz, lookin' for some good gifs and interesting inspiration, and I found a little on Tumblr (lame I know)...but sometimes they are actually well made. Below is a list of all the ones I saw and liked (or used images/gifs from). But be careful, sometimes there will be NSFW content!

some pretty decent Tumblrs:

"and at that moment, I swear we were infinite."


*when is the movie of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" coming out? I'm really excited, it is one of my favorite novels and Emma Watson is playing Sam. I'm thinking its going to be amazing.

umm, do you like this dancing panda?


My new desktop background:


Lets get fucked up and do stupid shit:


*looks like some crazy, dangerous fun to me.

I hope my college experience in nyc mildly resembles that gif...in a good way (crazy friends), but not to that extreme (risky/uncontrollable behavior). Maybe I am just feeling that angsty rebellion that teenagers have, and I can't wait to be on my own/do 'whatever the fuck I want'...its a dangerous feeling, especially when your life is basically unsupervised....

I feel infinite.

I just started reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chobsky. I don't know why I waited untill now to read it. Friends have always told me I would like it, I love it. I don't read that much, but I had to take this book everywhere with me today, and I can't wait to finish it. I am reading it for a book report project in AP Psychology, the project is to relate the novel to psychology or something like that...

What I like about it so far is that I can relate to the characters, I think Charlie (the narrator) is experiencing/thinking/questioning a lot of the same things I have. I also have friends that remind me of the other characters, and makes it seem realistic. A lot of them are depressed or having trouble. I have been there, I know what it feels like, I've have seen many others deal with it aswell. I really 'get' this book, and I definetly recommend it. Probably, if you liked "The Catcher in the Rye" then you'll love this book because Charlie reads it in the story.

There was one part in the book that really spoke to me. It was about feeling 'infinite'--when everything just feels right. I know what it feels like, I think I've tried to discribe it as 'feeling free', but 'infinite' works better. I crave to feel that way right now, hanging around close friends, listening to music with comfortable silence, and just sharing the moment/feeling the love.

This is the main character's favorite song, it means a lot to him. I 'get' that.



**Other books I have recently started or finished:
On the Road-Jack Keroac (started months ago, but I cant find it now...)
Shoplifting From American Apparel-Tao Lin (finished last week)
The Kite Runner (reading it for English class)
The Omnivore's Dilemma (finished last month)

**Books I hope to read over the summer (but most likely won't get to):
The Tibetan Book of the Dead
EEEEE EEE EEEE-Tao Lin
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Tao Lin
Life of Pi
Ishamel
The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test
House of Leaves
Extremely Loud and Increadibly Close?

Any suggestions on what else I should read?
