“Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.”

- Lemony Snicket (via atomiclanterns)

“Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many unfiltered cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is ‘Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.”

WRITERS/ARTISTS/PEOPLE WHO USE PENCILS

This giveaway is for you.

Thanks to the generous people at Pencils.Com, I’m giving away some awesome Palomino Blackwing swag

But what’s the Palomino Blackwing? IT’S ONLY THE BEST PENCIL EVER CREATED!

If Jesus/Sherlock Holmes/Christopher Hitches were still alive and used a pencil, they’d use the Palomino Blackwing 602.

Really though, back in the day, a company called Eberhard-Faber made the Blackwing 602. It was the ultimate pencil of choice- Chuck Jones used it, John Steinbeck used it, everybody used it. But then, in the mid 90s, it was discontinued.

I don’t know why, it was the 90s, stuff was weird.

There was chaos, riots, etc- you know, the usual stuff that happens when a pencil is discontinued- but then the Blackwing 602 blackmarket emerged. These pencils started showing up online- in 2002, one of them sold for $40 on eBay.

Not a dozen of them- a single pencil.

For $40.

If you want to learn more about their pencils, you can read the review I wrote here.

Anyways, a company bought the rights a few years ago and now Pencils.com sells them! And because they want you to have all the cool stuff that John Steinbeck had, they gave me some stuff to give away!

BONUS: I’m also going to be giving away some Felix Exi “I READ BOOKS” stickers, too!

Rules:

Contest runs until July 5th, 2013. At 11:59 pm EST, I will randomly pick three winners. I will contact you via your ask box and will ship anywhere worldwide.

How to Enter:

Reblog this. You can reblog it up to 5 times a day and you must be following me. Why? Partially because I giveaway cool stuff like this every month and I want you to see it and partially because if I have more followers then companies will give me cooler stuff to give to you. If you’re feeling extra generous, like the Felix Exi facebook page, too.

1st Prize:

1 dozen Palomino Blackwing 602s

1 Palomino Blackwing Luxury Notebook
