“If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.”

i’m making my new friend dylan a james dean care package with things you can only get here =]
this will be fun. i’m going to have fun tomorrow going to get things from fairmount.
yes, this was post worthy.
be jealous!
“Theres the optimistic side of me, too, which believes that we live in an incredible time and that if we all came togther on the important issues and stand up for our rights, as Bob Marley said, we could all accomplish a lot. In my mind, I have all these Utopias and fantasies, but I believe they really can work , I really do.” - River <3
ah my love with you always
in your large eyes, nothing but the two of us.
this makes me way too happy.
you’re the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
Play
“i want to be a texan 24 hours a day”
me with bob hinkle at this years james dean festival
he was such a sweetheart, and told us about teaching jimmy everything he used for giant. can’t wait to see him next year. read his book, “Call Me Lucky” it’s so amazing!
i really hope johndylanger can come out to a festival soon =]
when my life is over, and my time has run out
my friends and my lovers, i will leave theres no doubt
but one things for certain, when it comes my time
i’ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
“Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that’s what matters. That’s a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly; it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly; it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.”
the first thing i did when i went to memphis was i went to the river so i could swim in it. it’s weird knowing it’s where you took your last breath. i really do just imagine you laying on your back singing wishing that moment could last forever. and it is still lasting.you have eternal life now, what you always wanted.
oh my love and the rain is falling and i believe.
my time has come, it reminds me of the pain.
i might leave, leave behind
wait in the fire and i feel them drown my name
so easy to know and forget with this kiss
i’m not afraid to go but it goes so slow
“I don’t want to die in a car accident. When I die it’ll be a glorious day. It’ll probably be a waterfall.”
“I believe we write our own stories and each time we think we know the end, we don’t. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, of chance and in the peace that comes from knowing that you just can’t know it all. Life’s funny that way… once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.”
is it weird that this is my favourite place in the world to be alone? i feel like he’s always listening to you when you talk to him here. thats why i come atleast once a week. i love you, james dean.
Keanu: I really would like to do a shakepeare with River. I think we’d have a hoot. We could do A Midsummer Night Dream, or Romeo and Juliet.
River: I’ll be Juliet.
i adore you river.
“I just imagine him laying on his back in the water, and singing, I think he had this thought, I hope this second will last forever… and it did.”
Gordie: Do you think I’m weird?
Chris: Definitely.
Gordie: No man, seriously. Am I weird?
Chris: Yeah, but so what? Everybody’s weird.
At the end of the night I feel strange, because I feel I’ve told everybody all my secrets
