Stargaze

I found this sitting in my emails when looking for something else! Whoops! This is 4 years old, but still provides awesomeness. Enjoy!

Go take a look at the road

To see what on earth is going on ahead of you

It's so new like never before

With the innovation at its finest

While showing all of your true power

Please don't go

Into the path 

Known as conformity

And don't fall asleep within your own mind

Just take a look at what's inside

That's just the way you will thrive!

(small guitar interlude)

Never ignore

The thoughts within your heart

From the start

They're all yours

Like the pride within a lion's golden mane

Go journey on the forbidden road

Display all the joy in the world

Climb up that incline

That's as steep as a mountain

The finish line is right there in front of you

Just sprint across that line

It's so divine

You will be fine!

(another small guitar interlude)

Take a look around you

And smell those flowers

They're right there in front of your face

Because you're able to stargaze

The empty sky is yours to design

Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Don't let it slip away

Or flutter on past you

Into the abyss

Go ahead and strike a pose

And never be afraid to stargaze!

Shout your heart out

Towards the sun and the stars

Try not to let the wind go into your head

It will cloud you like a tornado

Just step in time and keep a clear mind

Stress is like a vampire

That's ready to eat you alive

It will infest through your veins

Provoking panic and fear

While tears of sorrow drip down your face

(filled with fear)

Hold on… 

Stop right there and stay dead in your tracks

It is the man who's here to douse you with some ease!

So chill 

While trying to lack insanity

You need to fight on all those goddamn fears

And don't freeze in tears

Now try to go ahead and stand tall

Just live for the moment and stay alive!

(another small guitar interlude wheeeee!)

Take a look around you

And smell those flowers

They're right there in front of your face

Because you're able to stargaze

The empty sky is yours to design

Don't fill your canvas with cloudy days

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Don't let it slip away

Or flutter on past you

Into the abyss

Go ahead and strike a pose

And never be afraid to stargaze!

Take a breath around here!

Look at what's all around you!

Instead of mindlessly leaving

You need to go and start moving!

And hopefully not envision any negativity 

So be strong! 

To enable yourself to live life to all its fullest

Just don't break down

Your goal is there, it is there, it is really right there

Chase it with everything you've got within your heart

Stand tall

Be yourself 

And you better not be afraid to stargaze!

Squid and Mussels with Pasta and Garlic Tomato Curry Sauce Recipe

Spices and Sauce Ingredients
¼ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp stone ground mustard
1 tbsp yellow mustard
5 cloves garlic
½ cup coconut milk (make sure to stir it) – this can be found in the ethnic aisle at Jewel or shopping market in a can
¼ cup red onion
½ cup yellow grape tomatoes
2 whole red roma tomatoes
1 green serrano pepper

Additional Ingredients
½ lb squid (calamari)
½ lb mussels
1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds (hold until the end)
2 cups fresh spinach (hold until the end)
½ box whole wheat pasta
2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp for cooking the fish and 1 tbsp for cooking everything together at the end)

Directions
Place the spices and sauce ingredients into a blender and blend for about 10 seconds or until sauce is not lumpy. Hold onto the sauce.

Cook the pasta separately on another burner for about 10-15 min until it’s al dente and strain. Hold onto the pasta.

Place the squid in a pan at medium/high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Do not add the mussels yet. When the squid starts turning golden brown, add the mussels with the squid and cook them for about 5 minutes or until ready. If you’re using frozen fish, make sure to strain after it’s cooked (or strain if necessary).

After straining the fish (if necessary), add another tbsp of olive oil to the pan you used for the fish re-add the strained fish to the pan. Next, add the cooked pasta, spinach, mustard seeds, and sauce on medium heat for about 5 minutes for the sauce to soak in with the rest of the ingredients.

Keep stirring and enjoy! This course serves about 6. Total time to cook and prepare is about 30 minutes!
