"Wings" Gustavo Santaolalla

Thought 1.
There are times when I feel I want to help the world. There are times when I think I can just pack up and join an ashram or help rebuild some huts in Ecuador. And then I think of the people who normally inhabit those fantasies and think, hmm, they probably would love to switch places with me. So I guess screw them. That's why I think donating to your favorite organization is good enough.

Thought 2.
I'm thinking about transferring to another office within the company. Maybe London for a couple of years or New York. But I can't stand the rain and snootiness of London and I can't stand the urinal stench of summertime in New York. My life is OK, you know. But sometimes I just get a little restless.

Thought 3.
What I'm most excited about right now is my 4am drive to the airport. I feel so good at that hour. I am most excited about standing in the cold with my bag and waiting and breathing the cold thin air and hearing the sounds and thinking of stuff. Stuff like, "Hmm, what's the point of accumulating wealth or knowledge, it's just more of the same, right? There is no point in that. So I guess life must be about love." I'm just kidding, I don't have those thoughts.
