Love this song. :)
Fresh Feeling - Eels
"That every day should be a fiesta seemed to me a marvelous discovery."
Major lss. I like this better than Birdy’s version. Young Blood by The Naked and Famous :)
"Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free."
"We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is there is no god. No one created the universe, and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization: There is probably no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful."
Love this song! “you are my only hideaway, you make the world seem bigger…” Hideaway by The Delays :-)
My favorite Semisonic song. :)
“How like you to make your love my hideaway and
How like you to make my troubles slide away and
How like you to make me want to play forever here behind your door…”
DND - Semisonic
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don’t you wanna curve away?
When it’s such
It’s such a perfect day
Now the sky could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
Coldplay - Strawberry Swing
Wilco with Feist - You and I
Suddenly remembered this song after watching an old episode of HIMYM. Love, love this song. :)
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
What are you holding out for?
What’s always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded? Why so scared of romance?
This modern love wastes me
This Modern Love - Bloc Party
"Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun."
"The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now."
“Didn’t want to be your ghost / didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost / but I don’t want anybody else / I don’t want anybody else…” -Anyone’s Ghost by The National

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
