memphis and an iphone

beth orton, i adore you.

And yes it's getting hard to listen

Hard for me to use my eyes

And all around the gold is glistening

Making sure it keeps us hyp-n-o-tized

I don't wanna know 'bout evil

Only wanna know about love

-Beth Orton

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”
-Chuck Palahniuk

some advice.

"You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight."
— Elizabeth Gilbert

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

delicious ambiguity.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
-Gilda Radner

random findings that i love

one thing i know

time doesn't stop. and neither do we. not even when we try. there's so much to do. so much we could do. how am i actually ever bored? but i am. hmm this is something i should work on.

flickr recap

a purple sky

image via loveology

one of the reasons why i love music is because it makes me think. and most of the time it makes me think about some pretty important facets of life. today was one of those days. i was driving down a familar road on a rainy dreary morning and then i noticed that the sky was blue. i always though it was purple, but i discovered today that it is blue. BLUE. astonishment ran freely and wildly through my body. see i told you music is a powerful tool. and that, my friends, is just one of the reasons why i love music.

moving on to more important matters....okay so truth be told when i was driving today what i really thought about was my friends. i know i have wonderful friends. but today i felt particuarly thankful that there are people in my life that would do absolutely anything for me. i'm pretty lucky. and i know i don't express it enough, but hopefully my closest friends know that i would do anything for them as well. okay, enough of the mush...i think that's why my mind veered in the first paragraph. i'm always hesitant to share with the world my mush. but when it's true and important to me, i don't really care.

happy weekend!

i'm a fan of three day weekends. i'm also a fan of these photos.

happiness.

i just found a new shop and needless to say i'm a wee bit happy about it. and if you find yourself swooning over Anthropologie like me then you'll have no problem understanding my excitement. The clothes/shoes/bags at Ruche and Anthropologie have a very close resemblance. So why am I so excited about Ruche? The prices do NOT resemble each other. Score! So here ya go, a few items that caught my eye.



when i was making this mosaic i accidentally chose my last four flickr faves instead of the four pictures above. i had competely forgotten about these. what a pretty little mistake.

just a while

[Beth Orton]
So much stays unknown till the time you are strong.
Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong,
And all your pain just turns into relief?
All your doubt becomes your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The years will help to keep your need at bay.

[Beth Orton & Terry Callier]
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.

So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.

[Beth Orton]
You're here just a while....

[Terry Callier]
Here just a while....

[Beth Orton]
You're here just a while
You might as well smile,
You might as well smile,
'Cause tomorrow, you just don't know.
It will pass. It's gonna pass.
