Girlfriend in a coma - Douglas Coupland

"Goals -that word sounds like I'm crew chief at McDonald's or something. But you know, every second of our life we're reaching goals of some sort. Every single second of our lives we're crossing a finish line of some sort, with heaven's roaring cheers surronuding us as we win our way forward. Our smallest acts -crossing a street, peeling an apple, giving Miss January the one-hand salute- are as though we are ripping an Olympic ribbon to thunderous applause. The universe wants us to win. The universe makes sure we're winning even when we lose. I wish that I could have run naked through the streets every moment of my life."

"She sweeps around the patio, her dress twirling and her eyes flashing because she is in love with the world. "
