11:28am-
Gonna try to develop some kind of morning routine.

2:24pm-
Reading about my new hero: Andrew W. K.

"..As I continued doing research, I saw that Andrew WK is filled with an unstoppable sense of optimism and joy.

Then there’s the interesting fact that, despite his party-anthems, he never had a single drink of alcohol before he turned 21 because he didn't see the point. He only did when he became 21 to see what all the fuss was about.

You may be saying to yourself “what? He didn't drink? What about Party Hard and Party Till You Puke?” That just adds another dimension to the beauty that is Andrew WK. You see, his idea of a party isn't necessarily a drunken, alcohol-induced party. His idea of a party is, instead, a positive energy. I forget which interview he said this in, but he once said that he didn't want to tell people how to party but instead wanted to create a sense of energy and excitement in people for them to party in the way that they feel fit. Whether it be hanging with friends watching movies, sitting by a fire and reading a book or shot gunning beers – anything can be a party if done with the right intention and excitement."
