One of the coolest kits ever.
Comes with evaporated milk, a sugar mix, a bag of chocolate chips and marshmallows. You just add the secret nectar of the Gods ingredient --- butter. I also added Reeses because I couldn't help it. My hand just crumbled it in and that was that. You heat the milk and sugar to a boil, and then stir for 4 minutes continuously while boiling. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate and marshmllows until melted. Add Reeses and pour into 8x8x2 dish. Refridgerate for 2 hours.
Bomb.
I am drawn to this song like a moth to the brightest most hypnotic light possible. I think I have literally listened to it a hundred times a day for the last couple of weeks.
Why?
First, the lyrics;
Please slow it down
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Passing white daisies, taking turns
Close the door walk to the street
Catching raindrops on your tongue
And for a minute it all stops
But it won’t last man, just a passing moment gone
Please slow it down
There’s a secret place that I know
If I could a dig a grave I’d then climb underground for good
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Passing white daisies, taking turns
All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment
They meant everything but the wind just carried them off
And you can’t go back now, just a passing moment gone
Please slow it down
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Cause I couldn’t let go of the passing moment gone
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Passing white daisies, taking turns
Close the door walk to the street
Catching raindrops on your tongue
And for a minute it all stops
But it won’t last man, just a passing moment gone
Please slow it down
There’s a secret place that I know
If I could a dig a grave I’d then climb underground for good
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Passing white daisies, taking turns
All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment
They meant everything but the wind just carried them off
And you can’t go back now, just a passing moment gone
Please slow it down
There’s a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you’re looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean
Cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun
Cause I couldn’t let go of the passing moment gone
Second, the mind fuck and endless epiphianies it floods into my brain with;
Listening to this song over and over (and over and over) has literally made me re-evaluate my entire being. The song is about taking a moment to enjoy what you have and slowing everything down. The definition of the word cliche is something that is overused and/or obvious. It is overused and it is obvious, but it is also true. Life is so fast and time is so short (or is life short and time fast? I think both), ENJOY THE GOOD STUFF. My general understanding behind the words that he sings is that somtimes once something has ended (a relationship, a friendship, a connection, a moment, a minute, a day), you wish you could turn it all back and soak it up slowly. Don't fuck it up by taking things for granted. Enjoy everything as it comes, really. My brain is so overactive and I feel like I am always rushing, always behind, always planning, always running late, always going going going. I need to chill the fuck out and focus on one thing at a time and feel the moment down to my bones. Life is so many things, but most of all it is tragic because most people have no idea what they have when they have it. Feeling gratitude for every ounce of love is an absolute neccesity in order to live a full life. I do believe that nothing lasts for ever. Who am I to say that everything breaks, but I have yet to experience something that doesn't. Ends can be big and they can be small, they can be subtle or they can blast you across your face on a random afternoon when you least expect it and turn your whole world upside down. The unpredictabilty and uncertainty only leads me to believe that everything happens just the way it should, even if its the last thing you think you need. People get extracted out of your life to make room for new things, sometimes bigger and better, sometimes not. I believe that everything is significant. Everyone you meet and everything you do is essential to move forward to the next phase in your life. Things don't always go as planned but what makes us human is our ability to adapt, to bounce back, to react, TO FEEL.
"Secret magic past world" is all those indesribable memories that you can not even put into world that are painted across your mind in colors that don't exist with their very own soundtrack. I have so many of these and they are not just things from the deep past but even things that were monthes ago, days ago..

THESE WORDS FUCKING ROCK ME HARD.
I wish sometimes when I feel truly happy and whole that I could collect all that magic goodness and bottle it up and keep it under my pillow so that on days when my eyes are wet and sad I can use it as eyedrops and it can spread through my bloodstream into every limb and vein and fill me up again.
No, I am not on ecstasy.
I am just so so so so SO alive. I am going to be 25 in 2 days time and I think I kind of sort of am starting to understand life. About fucking time. I don't have all the answers and I actually only have precious few but it works for me.
I am leaving for Mexico in the morning and I am SO excited (as always) to float through the airport and onto the plane and onto the beach and just enjoy my time.
I am soooooooo grateful for everything I have.
Amen.
