“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn"
Jack KerouacI finished the 'Ska'd for life' book by Horace from The Specials last night and have now started 'Passion is a fashion' by Pat Bentar about The Clash and so far it's a good read but a lot more heavy going than the last one. Only a few pages in someone quotes the one I've put at the top of the blog & I looked up other quotes from Kerouac and found a lot of familiar ones.
"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trend and fads and popular opinion"
"Maybe that's what life is ..... a wink of the eye and winking stars"
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control in them"
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control in them"
Note to self: Must make CD's before I move so I actually have something to listen to.
Theres still lots to get done before uni/moving which is exciting and at the same time annoying. I hope the student loan comes through when they say it will 'cause then I needed to go shopping for food & boring household essentials like kitchen utensils, soap, bread boards and such when I'd much rather be getting tattoo's, leggings and shit.... namely Dita's new collection *wipes away tears!*
