SOTD: Operator - Delicate
for no reason other than i've been listening to it on repeat for a large part of today
QOTD: Morality is like art. It's about drawing a line. Best draw the line in pencil so when you change your mind you can rub it out and draw a new one.
The challenge is to take the daily writing prompt here and spend a minute or less writing the first thing that comes to mind. so here goes:
imind:
the process by which one surrenders all logical thought and emotional response to a situation over to the specific song being played on one's ipod at the time.
Fucking love this photo:
New SOTD because i really miss Long Train Running (John, come and visit us!!), this is a beautiful song AND right now i really wish i could just get on a bike and ride away from my life:
Roll Me Away - Bob Seger
Took a look down a westbound road,
right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
and just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away,
won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west,
it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right
And i hate to say this out loud and nik will never forgive me, but the Kid Rock album "Rock n Roll Jesus" has some really good moments! so...
SOTD: Roll On - Kid Rock
Mmmm
I love it when you play it like that
Come on... Play
Sittin' here alone I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed
And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned
Left my family
Left my home
I worked my fingers to the bone
And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned
And I was havin' a good time
Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight yeah
Money and success
I don't complain about the stress
I wanted this and now it's here
So I don't bitch
And I swear that time's a trick
It disappears in oh so quick
Man I was just sixteen
And now I'm starin' at thirty-six
But I'm still havin' a good time
Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight
And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes
But one day you're gonna say I saw the light
And now headin' for the hill
And I just cannot wait until
My children grow up to have children of their own
And I'll be telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against an army all alone
Drinkin' wine and stayin' high
And realized it couldn't last
And how I turned myself around
And went down another path
And the signs we must observe
When life's changes do occur
But most of all I'll tell them
Just how proud I am of them
And always have a good time
It's all love and good times
Let's all have a good time Yeah
Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight
Today i am tired beyond any tiredness i have experienced before. not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. so i must apologise to you. i have spent so much energy keeping you up that i have none left for myself. i can't do that anymore. you're going to have to find a way to support yourself for a while, until i recharge. i'm sorry, but it's me time now. xxx

The Government Totally Sucks - Tenacious D
it just seems kind of appropriate given the USA elections etc.
yup. tomorrow shae turns two. mindblowing. i'm not entirely sure how she went from this little pink wriggling thing that i was slightly terrified of to this articulate independant little person in two short years, but it happened. against all odds, she's survived the chaos that comes from living in a 5-person, 7-animal household and come out tops, wrapping everyone she meets around her pinky finger as she goes.
damn. seems i got something right.
