Moments of Music:
Songs in my head this week:
- "Beautiful" by James Blunt (because everytime I go to BuddhaDave.com I get this one in my head. Beautiful song. Sad, but beautiful.)
- "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy
(because Sami had been humming it at least 3 out of the 5 days this week. =P ) - "Ever the Same" by Rob Thomas (I am not really a fan of Rob Thomas, but this song stuck in my head all week and I didn't mind so much.
Radio Finds:
Ever since the days of the i-Pod BhikkhuDave is anti-radio. Fair enough, but being i-Pod less for so long, all I had was the radio. And I still find some good things on there that I would have missed out on if it wasn't for the radio. These are my latest faves. They are not so "new finds" anymore, but like I said, I am a little behind on the blogging.
- "Calling You: by Blue October (I heard this one a while back but it is still nice to hear it again. Still a fan. Really cute.)
- "Everything Changes" by Staind (I really don't care for much of anything that comes from this band. But I heard this song on the radio on Thursday and really liked the lyrics, so I looked it up and was surprised to find it was Staind. Now when I hear it, it sounds like them but I still like it.)
- "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield (I don't particularly love the sound of this song. It is not my favorite, but it is not horrible either. I do however really like the lyrics. They are very poetic and paint a pretty mental picture. I like it.)
Hearing my boss use the term "shit storm" in a work related conversation, and #263.
Moments of Irony:
This happened to me today while I was sitting in the lobby of Nissan waiting for my truck to get serviced. I was looking through a book of art called "PostSecret" and had been contently reading by me onesies for over an hour when a gentleman that worked there sat down next to me and starting chatting. He asked what I was reading and if anyone of you are familiar with this book, it is not something that you would want to sit down and go through with a total stranger. It is a book of secrets, and some of them are far from pretty. But he had heard of the project and started flipping through the book, not more than a few pages of flipping and he comes to a double page spread proudly proclaming the "N word". He was African American. Though I don't think he gave a damn about it, I felt terribly awkward. Of all the pages.... "Why hello nice man in the checkered tie. Care to have a look at my racially offensive book of horrible, humorous, and dirty secrets fashioned together as a work of art?" Luckily, I was saved just in time as the man came to tell me that my truck was finished. Not the most comfortable of situations I have ever been in.
Moments of Memories:
A year ago today was the first time that I went to a strip club. And the first time that I ever got really smashed. These kinda things tend to go hand in hand I guess.
Moments of Perfect Thought:
I didn't get any perfect thoughts this week, but I do know a girl that was nice enough to share hers. Thanks.
Moments of Love:
Telling a cute boy to be nice and give me cuddles because I felt like crap and I needed them to make me feel better. And he did. And they worked.
Moments of Celebration:
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mommies. I love you Mom.
Cecilia, you're breakin' my heart!
