J.A. Redmerski The Edge of Never

THE EDGE OF NEVER

“Everybody starts out as strangers.” 

oh me oh my! couldn't have asked for a more delightful read. This book was hilariously funny! I died laughing so many times. not only did I fall for the guy but also circumstance. which doesn't happen nearly as often. the way that ever moment was treasured and lived to the fullest. I knew there was something different about Andrew. Not just how he didn't give a crap about anyone's opinion of him but also his choice in music I mean damn boy...

“I don't listen to Justin Bieber or that crazy meat-wearin' bitch, so I guess you'll just have to do without.

The story overall was just magical. The way that they fit together so perfectly just like puzzle pieces

It was more than just a road trip, it was a journey to self discovery and a path less traveled. Those who fight for the future they want could never imagine the results.

I absolutely loved Cam as the female lead. She was stubborn, witty and sarcastic (which I LOVE) She ending up being a great example for all those girl out there who feel pressure to fit into that acceptable "box" that it is okay to be lost. Because sometimes you have to fall apart to know how to put  your self back together right

QUOTES:

“Heart always wins out over the mind. The heart, although reckless and suicidal and a masochist all on its own, always gets its way.”

“I don’t think you ever really fall out of love with someone. I think when you fall in love, like true love, it’s love for life. All the rest is just experience and delusions.” 

“What compels any of us to do the thing we do when deep down a part of us just wants to break free from it all?”

Macklemore

Macklemore is one of my favorite artist/rappers. P.S. I don't really like that term especially in his case because  I feel that most of his raps are like poetry, which yes I know is clique. One of my friends has this saying "the secrets to life are hidden behind the word clique" I am a firm believer that this is true and can change your life if you apply it daily.

CAN'T HOLD US

TE THOUSAND HOURS

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by him called Can't Hold Us:

 Return of the Mac, get em

What it is? what it does? what it is? what it isn't?

Lookin' for a better way to get up out of bed instead of getting on the internet and checking out who hit me, get up!

Thrift shop, pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious

Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby

Sweater game nope nope y’all can’t copy

Yup. Bad, moonwalking

This here, is our party

My posse's been on Broadway

And we did it, our way

Throne music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it

And yet I’m on

Let that stage light go and shine on down

Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style

Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds

But, I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town

Trust me. on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustlin'

Chasing dreams since I was 14 with the four track bussing

Halfway cross that city with the backpack

Fat cat, crushin labels out here

Nah they can’t tell me nothing

We give that to the people

Spread it across the country

Labels out here

Nah they can’t tell me nothing

We give it to the people

Spread it across the country

Now can I kick it? thank you

Yeah I’m so damn grateful

I grew up, really wanted gold fronts

But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you

Y’all can’t stop me

Go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat

And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week

Raw. Time to gone off. I'm gone!

Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome

Ceasar will make you a believer

Nah I never ever did it for a throne

That validation comes from giving it back to the people.

Nah sing a song and it goes like

Raise those hands, this is our party

We came here to live life like nobody was watching

I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me

Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves

Movies to watch

Warm bodies


Safe Haven
 

The Call

Painting

For me painting is a metaphor for control. Every choice that I make, the color the canvas, the strokes, and the textures. When i make those decisions i regain the control that i have lost. One decision turns into another and the strokes turn into a representation of the new path that i have chosen

 PICK YOUR PATH

You + Me
