there are about 170 billion galaxies that we can see from earth.
each one of those has about 350 billion stars.
...
edit: i should clarify, from above Earth's atmosphere. that we analyze on Earth.

so a commercial came on today
it was just like this crappy not-serious-at-all commercial
but it asked "what was the most amazing thing you have ever seen?"
and i was like hmm kinda a cool question actually.
so i started thinking about what my answer would be
and at first i thought
theres no way you can pinpoint one sight
but then in the next heartbeat
i remembered how i felt when i saw the stars for the first time.
like not in shitty light-polluted cities and crap
like, when i first saw what i had been missing.
the first time i was in a completely dark area
and i saw just how many stars are out there
and how rare it is to be able to see that
with the perfect night wrapped around me
and feeling wondrously small beneath the
the most comforting and inspiring sight that can ever exist.
it was beautiful. it was pure.
it was the most amazing thing ive ever seen.
i think that should tell me something about my future.... maybe philosophy is not my calling.

i like the other version, too (deuxieme).
lately
i'm not sleeping
i'm not breathing
without machines
lately
my heart's been breaking
my heart's been breaking
through the seams
the Foxes in Fiction cover is also good.
shut me off.

forever young.
a lot i wanted to say earlier today.
but now it is forgotten.
so.
whatever.
it doesnt exist.
maybe tomorrow it will.
maybe not.
sometimes those fleeting, forgotten moments
are the most beautiful.
yeah. what the fuck.
Take me home
I've had enough
And I'm done
All the alcohol
Is not setting well at all
The drugs wore off
All the pills have stopped
And these are the tiny hands
That rip us a part
And I've got one foot in the gate of hell
And you've got two hands hailing taxis down
And he got three years just for givin' up
And I've got nothing to complain about
I got one foot in the gate of hell
You got two hands hailing taxis down
He got three years just for givin' up
And I've got nothing to complain about
Don't give up
Even though I'll give up
Cause this is a front
You want me now
Cause I will be here all night
It seems if only an empty drink
Cause this is a front
You want me now
Cause I am lost without you
I've had enough
And I'm done
All the alcohol
Is not setting well at all
The drugs wore off
All the pills have stopped
And these are the tiny hands
That rip us a part
And I've got one foot in the gate of hell
And you've got two hands hailing taxis down
And he got three years just for givin' up
And I've got nothing to complain about
I got one foot in the gate of hell

Cause I will be here all night
It seems if only an empty drink
Cause this is a front
