- I feel the wind blowing against my face, I feel the ground moving beneath my feet, I see the cars drag on by, I see the lives lost and the lives saved. Speed. It's a phenomenon. People think they know what it means but they've never experienced it on this deep of a level before. Speed is what you become. Speed is what you live and breathe, it's what keeps you going. Slow is a concept unknown to me. Time moves when I want it to, it stops when I stop. I feel the heat of all the bodies, I feel the gravity keeping us down, I see the eyes of those who have looked death right in the face, and been pulled away before they can blink. This is who I am, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

- I had a dream last night, about a girl, and she was everything I've ever loved. I just haven't met her yet.
