I like music and bullshit like dat and all.
I tend to have one song that I listen to over-and-over that day. The next day I move on to a different song. Its interesting how each person listens to music uniquely.
We are all so different. Its amazing.

Banksy is cool.
2 More Sara Teasdale
Hmmm.... I'm afraid this poet and I may share a soul.
I love the way she uses apostrophes. She talks TO the lovely chance. This is the way I think. Its spiritual. She also recognizes the importance of chance in life.
Water Lilies I dedicate my friend who has just ended a relationship. She tells me he is reminded of him everywhere she looks. I am looking forward to her returning to her hometown over winter break and being away from the memories of him. When she forgets, she can be at peace.
Lovely Chance
O LOVELY chance, what can I do
To give my gratefulness to you?
You rise between myself and me
With a wise persistency;
I would have broken body and soul,
But by your grace, still I am whole.
Many a thing you did to save me,
Many a holy gift you gave me,
Music and friends and happy love
More than my dearest dreaming of;
And now in this wide twilight hour
With earth and heaven a dark, blue flower,
In a humble mood I bless
Your wisdom—and your waywardness.
You brought me even here, where I
Live on a hill against the sky
And look on mountains and the sea
And a thin white moon in the pepper tree.
Water Lilies
If you have forgotten water lilies floating
On a dark lake among mountains in the afternoon shade,
If you have forgotten their wet, sleepy fragrance,
Then you can return and not be afraid.
But if you remember, then turn away forever
To the plains and the prairies where pools are far apart,
There you will not come at dusk on closing water lilies,
And the shadow of mountains will not fall on your heart.
7.7/10 feel the way I do.

Every day, God gives us the sun...
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Every day, God gives us the sun – and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived the moment, that it doesn’t exist – that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention in their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seems the same to us. But that moment exists – a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles."
