tfw you realise samsara is nirvana

crazy how much of irish politics is a member of government shaking their head over an issue and going "its a real shame, isn't it" then shrugging their shoulders and walking away

I had a dream Michele Pfeiffer broke into my house and when I confronted her she ran screaming through a second floor window then ran up the street screaming.

Emailing work to say I won't be in tomorrow "a great wave is coming. It's going to wash away our sins"

Load of wee guys buzzing about the place on scooters.
