oh lord.

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:37:00 -0400

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend, but I don’t know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember, don’t worry, how could I ever forget
It’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don’t fool me
Well the hurt doesn’t show, but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
And I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord…
I’ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

unprodigal daughter

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:12:29 -0400

I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
To imagining myself bolting had not been difficult

Soon be my life
Soon be my pace
Soon be my choice of which you’ll have no part of

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

I hit the ground running although I know not what toward
I hit the town reeling forgetting all that came before
I felt primed and ready unsurrounded by the pawns
I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not

This is my town
This is my voice
This is my taste of what you’ve have no part of

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

One day I’ll saddle back and speak of foreign adventures
One day I’ll double back and tell you about these unfettered years
One day I’ll look back and feel something other than relieved
Glad that I left when I did before “no dear, you can’t” got the best of me

When I’d speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When I’d speak of spirituality you label me absurd
When I spoke of impossibility you would frown and shake your head
If I had stayed much longer I’d have surely imploded

These are my words
This is my house
These are my friends of which you’ve had no part of

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

Businessing: The Business of Serious Business

This is a must-read from Kenny Meyers, great stuff.

i know about you.

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:17:00 -0400

And I know about you.

Well I know the trouble when the trouble starts,
And I know the signal of a straying heart,
And I know the stirrings of a double cross,
And I see suspicion arise around you.

I know the chatter as it starts to creep,
I know the walls as they ring and repeat,
I know the secrets they were meant to keep
And I see suspicion arise

It’s a shame,
I know,
But it all shakes out real slow,
When all the follies of your weekend
Hang like smoke onto your clothes,

And the shame of it grows
When you whisper it nice and low
But all the walls have ears my darling
And all bad things get known

And I know about you

I know the ceiling when it starts to burn,
I know the season when it starts to turn,
I know the patterns that the wicked learn,
I see suspicion arise around you

I know the curtain and the way it falls,
I know the burden and the pain it draws,
I know you’re sorry for something but I dont know why

Yeah it’s a shame, I know
But it all shakes out real slow
When the follies of your weekend
Hang like smoke onto your clothes

And the shame of it grows
When you whisper it nice and low
But all the walls have ears my darling
And all bad things get known
And I know about you.

Dashboard Confessional - I know about you.

life for rent - dido

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:34:02 -0400

I haven’t ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking
It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I’ve always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what’s happened to that dream
Cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
Well how can I say I’m alive

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

India Arie - I choose

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:50:00 -0400

Because you never know where life is going to take you
And you can’t change where you’ve been -
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.
Here I am now looking at 30
and I’ve got so much to say.
Gotta get this off of my chest,
I’ve gotta let it go today.
I was always too concerned
about what everybody would think.
But I can’t live for everybody -
I gotta live my life for me.

I have reached a fork in the road of my life and
Ain’t nothing gonna happen unless I decide.

And I choose
To be the best that I can be.
I choose
To be authentic in everything
I do.
My past don’t dictate who I am.
I choose.

I’ve been through some painful things
I thought that I would never make it though.
Filled up with shame
From the top of my head
To the soles of my shoes.
I’ve put myself in so many chaotic circumstances.
By the grace of God
I’ve been given so many second chances.

But today I’ve decided to let it all go.
I’m dropping these bags,
I’m making room for my joy.

And I choose
To be the best that I can be.
I choose
To be authentic in everything
I do.
My past don’t dictate who I am.
I choose.

Because you never know where life is going to take you
And you can’t change where you’ve been
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.

Release the guilt about why things have been the way they been
‘Cause life is gonna do what it do.
And every day, I have the opportunity to choose.

From this day forward I’m going to be
Exactly who I am.
I don’t need to change the way that I live
Just to get a man.
Even had a talk with my mama,
And I told her today I’m grown.
This day forward, every decision that I make
Will be My Own.

And I choose
To be the best that I can be.
And I choose to be courageous in everything
I do.
My past don’t dictate who I am.
I choose.

And I choose to be the best that I can be.
I choose to be authentic in everything I do.
My past don’t dictate who I am.
I choose.

Because you never know where life is going to take you
And you can’t change where you’ve been -
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.

i'm moving on.

I’ve dealt with my ghosts and I’ve faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at peace with myself 
I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I’m movin’ on

I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different but they’re always the same 
They mean me no harm but it’s time that I face it 
They’ll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong 
I’m movin’ on  
I’m movin’ on

At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me 
And I know there’s no guarantees, but I’m not alone
There comes a time in everyone’s life 
When all you can see are the years passing by 
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I’ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn’t
I had to lose everything to find out 
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I’m movin’ on  
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on

venomous porridge: A conversation I have every month or so:

Me: (tries to visit a local restaurant’s website via iPhone)
Restaurant website: I require Flash. Fuck off.
Me: I just want to know how late you’re open.
Website: Nope.
Me: But I’m on my phone. Don’t you have a little “HTML Version” link up in the corner or something?
Website: I’m ignoring…
