Folked Up

So I recently made a "mix tape" for a good friend entitled Folked Up. I picked my favorite songs that fit loosely into the genre folk, and I saw as the playlist developed the songs that picked all contained amazing lyrics. I just wanted to blog a few of my favorite quotes that I noticed when I listened a little closer to all these amazing works of art

"Got a pen in my hand. Got a girl in my Head"

I say, "Closeness is too much for me,"
and dismiss you with a smile
You say, "Wish away the closeness
and imagine it's a mile"

I wake up, check my senses,
one two three four five
Number six missing again
Same old game seek and hide

You play the artist, saying, ’is it how she moves, or how she looks? ’
I say, it’s loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks

You're not ill and I'm not dead
Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?

Two days
nothing left but two days--
on Monday my life ends and
my life starts

I'm looking forward to meeting new friends

Sight

I've been wearing my glasses lately
but they hurt the tops
of my ears
I like seeing but is it worth the pain?
I like understanding but is it worth the pain?

I want to talk I just don't know what to say

Childhood Memories

I haven't been on in awhile and that's not because nothing significant has happened to me, but just because nothing significant has happened to me that I feel could benefit anyone else's life...I mean that is why we blog, right?

I'm here in Orlando, Florida at after my third day in Disney parks, and I thought going back to my third time at Disney at age seventeen that the parks would loose a certain amount of luster that the overwhelming commercialism that embodies these four parks would be too much of a burden on my inner child to truly enjoy them for a third time. Yet, I'm still having fun, and no I haven't hugged Mickey Mouse, but I can't help but smile when I see him. The only regrets I have are for Little David, my youngest brother, I feel like we, his older siblings, take some of the magic from him (You know he hasn't once stopped for an autograph, is that his fault? or his older brothers and sisters pushing for the next ride?). Anyway my dad still says we're here to create Childhood Memories, and I know that I have enough to last a lifetime, I just hope that Little David gets his chance.

P.S. Cabbages and Kings first album is going through final mixing, title is tentative but I'll be sure to post a link to the download when it's done

our still lives posed

like a bowl of oranges

can't get you out of my head...

The Universe, The Earth

"The universe is shaped exactly like the earth, if you go strait long enough you end up where you were"

This line was taken from a song by Modest Mouse, and if makes me feel so sad the I understand and agree with what is means. What does it mean? It means that everything repeats itself and this wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I applied this to my day to day routine. I'm starting to feel that I don't have any impact, that I have nothing left to give, and I need to find a way to break this cycle. I need to find new meaning in the everyday because I feel like I'm continually going strait as the minutes, hours, and days pass, but I still feel like I end up where I started. I need to find a new tree to climb, a new tangent to explore, a new hell to conquer, or maybe just a new book to read.
