I'm doing Valentine's Day early, cuz I got shit to do tomorrow. So for all of you in love, in love with love, committed, single, or just playin' around, here you go. One of the greatest songs ever written, "This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)" by the immortal and genius Talking Heads. Give yourself a cuddle and enjoy:
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh
I got distracted and then suddenly realized that I hadn't read your latest entry(?!?!) thinking it was one I'd already read.
Regardless however..
One of your lines REALLY got to me. Like, it's kind of so profound for me at the moment that I've only had a few minutes to process it, and I'm not sure if I WANT to process it...that I'm kind of happily dancing around it. It was this line:
"So I take it as a very very good sign when people don't associate with me; it seems to be a self-selecting process."
sheesh woman.
so...brief rundown (so that you can understand all this silly talk from me
Then I grew into a nervous, but determined little university kid. Now I'm a confident, centered Masters student with an incredible amount of blessings and opportunities.
Yet, I keep trying to maintain friendships with my old high school buddies. It's worked with a few of the ones that also went to Uni, but not the others - not my best friends that saw it all during high school. I'm just so loyal...yet what you said really made me think. Maybe its a good thing that they've pushed me away...I mean, I'm very happy otherwise..
its just a hard process, you know? But I need to move forward...suggestions?
oooo so I love that you love law.
it is so crazy how we as humans just accept the law system, huh? really very random, actually - especially if you believe in what Hobbes said.
I am a business nerd.
I do do consulting for IT companies as well (lol, funny combo), and...well yes yes. lotsa stuff.
ooooooooooooooo this is a LONG entry! my apologies my dear, for taking up so much time,
have a kick ass day, and nice talkin' to ya. *tips her hat*
