On Face Book and the like
We weren't able to do this. This perusing of old faces we only remember with a child's eye. I'll see a name or a face and I'll find myself caught in this weird haze of "Oh my God" coupled with a drive by sideshow of things I remember about or remember doing with this person. When I was younger...

I absolutely loved reading this.. It was very prose poetry and beautiful in its sincerity and everydayness. I agree, Facebook is this strange kind of therapy that shows you know you really are, were, or want to be.
ink_addicted:
Thanks. I guess the reason I sent that rather than posting, was more for length and not for content. I don't mind if people know personal things about me. It actually felt good to share that.
Does drinking red wine from a tea cup make me a questionable authority? Well if not, it should dammit.
Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?
SoI just recently acquired the entirety of my old Bauhaus collection and happen to be listening to "Burning From The Inside" right now at work. I was immediately thrown back into my 16-year-old self, sitting in my attic bedroom listening to the vinyl dolby resonance (YesGaspVINYL!) pounding through the headphones as I would scour the remnants of what I deemed "cool"...

Bauhaus were, and continue to be, brilliant and innovative. Shit, their music is still cutting edge even today, which is, what...almost 30 years later? God, can it be that long? In any case, I saw them on tour a few years ago and they still had it. They owned that crowd. Peter Murphy prowled the stage like a mad ballet dancer on acid...so ferocious he could have stared down Rollins at his testosterone-fueled best. Listening to their music is one of those things that can still take me back to a specific place and time and make me smile. Thanks for the reminder.

It's been almost two months since I bought any new records... it's killing me I tell ya.
I have been meaning to sit down and write a proper update but find that when the moment grabs me to verbally regurgitate I am usually on a bus with no computer in sight and by the time I can capture all the thoughts that were colliding around up there they have been inundated with a myriad of various other daily happenings and the original...

Happy Birthday to BinkyMcQueen!!
nocontrol:
Amen. I've found my life to have significantly improved in quality, quantity and clarity since I decided to lay off the sauce. I need no other intoxicants than good time spent with my little one, anyway. So, yeah...cheers to that.
It always surprises me the way that music can land you right back into a moment, a minute of a memory, a morning slice out of sleep, a yesterday.
Even more surprising, I think, is the fact that I have come to finally grasp that you can revisit the memory and not necessarily have to revisit the person or the moment.
That was the thing...

I don't know how I did it...but I learned that thing about retrospect too.
No matter what it is I'm looking back on...I can see the beauty of what it is. Even if the only beauty is that I got out of it and became a better person for it.

Most Incredible Song EVAH
Turn up the Faders
Light strikes the suburbs in the summer,
Water trickles and runs down the faces of children,
Laughter echoes rising
As they slip between the sprinklers.
Faces eager for no reason,
Is it the season, is that it?
This used to be enough for me but now it isn't,
I need...

I like that song a lot. And, as for the idiots, let's just say I'm gonna stay away from the effin boards as much as possible.

Excellent.

johnesmoke:
i think you're supposed to put the toothpaste directly on the toothbrush, not fire it up into the air and try to catch it on the brush. that's how accidents happen. 
but that's good news about the tartar free eyes!

i see. but it sucks even more now because it's like she lost all of the battles but won the war. there must be a way to get around the zot in order to get him back here.
So SG has finallly booted my man for speaking his mind against incessant, juvenile twat monkeyism.
So be it.
