socrates told him, he couldn’t believe it

by mijit in life

“So long as I breathe and have the strength to do it, I will not cease philosophizing, exhorting you, indicting whichever of you I happen to meet, telling him in my customary way: Esteemed friend, citizen of Athens, the greatest city in the world, so outstanding in both intelligence and power, aren’t you ashamed to care so much to make all the money you can, and to advance your reputation and prestige — while for truth and wisdom and the improvement of your soul you have no care or worry?” –Socrates

put me on a highway

by mijit in life

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew

You know I’ve always been a dreamer
(spent my life running ’round)
And it’s so hard to change
(can’t seem to settle down)
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

–The Eagles, “Take it to the Limit”

and now i’m gone

by mijit in music

All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I’ve worn the faces off
All the cards
I’m gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It’s got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you’re loved
Is all you own
In a land there’s a town
And in that town there’s
A house
And in that house
There’s a woman
And in that woman
There’s a heart I love
I’m gonna take it
With me when I go

I’m gonna take it
With me when I go
