I love music. Marvin Gaye, Mamas and Papas, Love Norah Jones, Nina Simone...Soul and Blues for a while now. Love rock of course, everything Rush, and the "alternative" rock type. Into "post grunge" as well as "modern folk." Still love classical. Very into bluegrass last couple of years...have you ever heard bluegrass versions of hip-hop and rap? Mind altering.
Always have and always will love Stevie Nicks and Beth Orton.
Beth says we lose knowledge and gain innocence*
I thought we gained knowledge and lost innocence
but maybe she's right;
old soul,
ancient spirit dwelling
in the anarchy of the divine
energy
galaxies of emptiness*
born anew
thrown back into
the temporal stew
tabula rasa
Movies
Love movies and film history.
My favorite film
I love film. All types of genres. Comedy, Action, Romance, LOVE Classic Scary Man Horror...
Television
Snapped,
Murder, She Wrote,
The Simpsons,
King of the Hill,
Lost and various mindless bullshit.
Books

"May I behold in thee what I was once...
and this prayer I make,
Knowing that Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege,
Through all the years of this our life, to lead
From joy to joy: for she can so inform
The mind that is within us, so impress
With quietness and beauty, and so feed
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,
Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb
Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold
Is full of blessings. Therefore let the moon
Shine on thee in thy solitary walk;
And let the misty mountain-winds be free
To blow against thee: and, in after years,
When these wild ecstasies shall be matured
Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind
Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms,
Thy memory be as a dwelling-place
For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then,
If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief,
Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts
Of tender joy wilt thou remember me,
And these my exhortations!"
excerpt from "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth
"WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact’ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen’d grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love!—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink." by John Keats

Hey Nat! I dont think I've ever missed you guys this much in my life, or missed anyone this much ever. I am craving to see Karena. I miss nin! And Keri. There are a lot of things I dont get to talk about for lack of having trust in people, and I need Keri often. As for you, Do you know how long it has been since I have had an intellectual conversation with someone other than my brother? It is due time for there to be a trip north, or for you to make a trip south. We all miss you guys. Very bad. And Dad needs to hear from you guys, he's starting to slip into depression. I love you.
A woman has strengths that amaze me.. She can handle trouble and carry
heavy burdens.. She holds happiness,Love and opinions.. She smiles when
she feels like screaming.. She sings when she feels like crying.. Cries
when she's happy,and laughs when she's afraid.. Her love is
unconditional.. There's only one thing wrong with her and that is that
sometimes "SHE FORGETS WHAT SHE'S WORTH"..
Im alright. I promise. My boyfriend, my brother, and I went to get my brother taco bell. It was raining and my boyfriend didnt slow down in time. We barely swiped the side of a van. All three of us are perfectly fine. There wasnt even a dent on the other car, only my boyfriend's mom's car is hurt.
I've tried commenting on your blog about grandma, but it wont let me. Sometimes, it's like she's never left. Her presence sings throughout the house. Sleeping in her bedroom, of which I have made my own, triggers many dreams involving her.. And many of them I feel is her telling me that she is okay.. I love you.
ving it!
