Sleep is allusive.
So is certainty.

So...yeah...

Note to self:

Stop wanting more than what
others can or are willing to give.

[Le sigh...easier said than done.]

The Black Keys!

Listen to this:

Watch this:

"All those sleepless nights
and all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
another teardrop from my eye."

Yeahhhhhhhh.

Lazy, hazy days of summer.

I'm still off work due to my crooked spine
but all I can do is make the best of
feeling like I'm 80 before I'm even 30...

Been spendin' tons of time in the backyard
hence the rad tan on my gams.




Sidebar...I miss skateboarding :(

"without music, life would be a mistake."

This is a MUSIC post!

Stars - Five Ghosts

3 more days til it's official release!

I've been listening to it non-stop
'cause it's streaming on NPR.

Some other albums I've been listening
to on a fairly steady rotation are:













(Plants and Animals - Parc Avenue)


"Music expresses that which cannot be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent."
-Victor Hugo

"Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel."
-Buffy Sainte-Marie

still got it.

Hope, that is.
Fingers crossed.
Oh, & I even wished on a star.
Who woulda thought.

This little fella had the right idea.

insomnia.

on repeat.

"I want things to be right.
& I bet we'll stay in bed for days
& never leave & never want to leave
& never have to leave."

Tick tock.

"It has been said,

'time heals all wounds.'
I do not agree.
The wounds remain.
In time,
the mind,
protecting its sanity,
covers them with scar tissue
& the pain lessens.
But it is never gone."
- Rose Kennedy

cynicism vs realism.

I don't think I'm too cynical.
If anything, I'm a realist.

The reality of life is:

Everything ends.

Things fall apart.

We just have to find a way to
enjoy them while we still have them...

candid.

this isn't my greatest fear but it's definitely one of many.

.

Post Secret.

...

...but somehow I know this will end in heartbreak.

It's always sunny...all the time.

This show is fucking hilarious.

How have I not advertised it's radness on my blog til now?

Ridiculous.

hey you.

Dear scoliosis,

I'm breaking up with you.

You've caused me pain for far too long.

It's over, for good.

...if only it could be that easy.

lilac wine.

I got really into this song after hearing Jeff Buckey's version...

came across this one last night during a bout of insomnia.

WARNING:

it takes eons to load.

You won't let up.

June 22nd.

I had the pleasure of listening to this whole album

live at the Pyramid a few weeks ago.

Here's a couple of tracks.

Dead Hearts

& also, my personal favourite thus far:

Wasted Daylight

can't sleep.

Overactive mind.

crooked spine.

open heart.

'I'm too young to feel this old.'

aaaand...

seemingly too intense for life most days.

It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky.

Impromptu Saturday movie night.

Post Secret revelations.

Uncertainty.

If you're holding someone's heart in your hands,

make sure you're careful with it.

Do de do de do.

Time for a random, fragmented blog post

that has little or perhaps no direction.

I'm still off work with a crippled spine.

But I'm trying my best to keep busy.

Side bar...One of my legs is an inch longer than the other.

Apparently this could be the root of all my back problems.

Who knew?

Luckily I've had the good fortune of

spending a ton 'o' time with an amazing guy

who really seems to get me so far.

Here's a mysterious photo, that's all you lurkers get.

He came out to the lake May Long.

Me in my dorky canoeing glory.

& an endangered flower that was beheaded by an oblivious puppy.

Aaaaaaand, been

Watching lots of movies but that's nothing new...

This one's an oldie but a goodie.

Easily in my top ten.

It's on the menu for this weekend's movie marathon for sure

even though I just watched it solo the other day.

Watched this one today...

Very sad & ultra thought provoking. Loved it.

My jungle cat successfully killed my wireless router

by toppling over a glass of water on it

so my internet connection blows lately.

Dun dun dun.

To be continued...

Dolly is rad.

And this song is actually super sad.

I would tell Jolene to back the fuck off.

for once in my life, let me get what i want...

it would be the first time.
