Lyrics:

You gave me forever in limited days.

You gave me a moment in timeless space

I'll walk into the darkness, the affliction we face.

A metaphor our freedom, okay our always.

The pleasure of your company, the pain of your wake.

The distance of religion, the closeness of fate

Your driving unpleasant, but technically safe.

All these things connecting, our okays to our always.

Because pain demands to be felt, just like love.

And I get to choose my options for the two and I like my choices

I do

The Name Of The Wind: Kvothe / May 22, 2014 by Dave Connis

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin. The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best, and an astounding must-read title.

Eleanor & Park: Comic Books / January 14, 2014 by Dave Connis

TWO MISFITS. ONE EXTRAORDINARY LOVE.  It's 1986 and two star-crossed teens are smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love--and just how hard it pulled you under.   A cross between the iconic '80s movie Sixteen Candles and the classic coming-of-age novel Looking for Alaska, Eleanor & Park is a brilliantly written young adult novel.
