The people and cars we care about are essentially inseparable.
We’re car people here in the USA. Our memory playback is measured by the car we had, the people riding in the car, and the music coming out of the speakers.
Time keeps ticking regardless we spend it wisely or we waste it.
The problem is we think we have time. We think we have tomorrow to start something new.
We think we have tomorrow to do something that excites us.

I am often asked about my heritage. It’s odd to me personally, because when I look in the mirror I see your typical white boy with socks and sandles and short shorts. My best friends like to poke fun that I’m Jewish, because I have a long nose & often display a curly mess of hair on the top of my head. Stereotypical, but I can see it.
Do you ever look into a mirror and see a stranger?Ever think that you might be just a messenger?Maybe even a figment of someone’s imagination?Or maybe, just maybe, a pointless part of a constellation?Every time I walk past a reflective surface,I see this person who looks like a familiar face…
