I can’t justify looking for someone else to love...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/vUOaCI6w1muo5letmWZ6ckHWo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://boymeetslove.com/post/101194964/i-cant-justify-looking-for-someone-else-to-love"&gt;boymeetslove&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can’t justify looking for someone else to love knowing you exist. If I was surrounded by everyone in the world, I’d still be lonely without you right infront of me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No matter where I’m at or who I’m with, I will only ever need you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/101320990</link><guid>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/101320990</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:55:47 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Hello &amp; Goodbye for now. </title><description>&lt;p&gt;I’m officially closing my Tumblr (for now). All the content I felt like ranting about or cool stuff I found will be either polished and posted at &lt;a href="http://thedonutproject.com"&gt;The Donut Project&lt;/a&gt;, or put somewhere else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Tumblr isn’t going away forever though. I will end up using it to either document my senior project as it progresses, or use it as my photography blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously a re-design is well overdue, and once &lt;a href="http://thedonutproject.com"&gt;TDP&lt;/a&gt; is redesigned, my own identity is closer to the top of the shit-to-do list, and will take into consideration every place I am on the interwebs. It’ll be a huge job but I think it’s important to do if I ever wanna get the fuck outta Ohio (and I do).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So stay tuned, subscribe to &lt;a href="http://thedonutproject.com"&gt;TDP&lt;/a&gt;, and I will still be following the tumblr peoples. Too much cool stuff not to keep looking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks kiddos. &lt;br/&gt;—R&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/100355510</link><guid>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/100355510</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:26:30 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-4-19)</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/user/rickyaustin/charts?charttype=weekly&amp;date_to=1240142400"&gt;My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-4-19)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;ol&gt;

Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea… cruising, it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about. “I’ve always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can’t afford it.” What these men can’t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of security. And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone. What does a man need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That’s all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by, the dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt; actor Sterling Hayden, from his autobiography, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wanderer-Sterling-Hayden/dp/1574090488"&gt;Wanderer&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://involutionarymadness.com/"&gt;bendelaney&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/93707608</link><guid>http://rickyaustin.tumblr.com/post/93707608</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:28:34 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-4-5)</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/user/rickyaustin/charts?charttype=weekly&amp;date_to=1238932800"&gt;My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2009-4-5)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;ol&gt;
