Just wanted to thank Ben for correcting my post and being a good moderator of this kick ass blog site! I really thought it was goofy at first...but i have been drawn over to the 'Ben side'...lol. I have a bunch of diffrent blogs..but this one is actually meaningful. I admire Bens dedication and fortituide(sp).Good shit bro, i dig it! Me and Sarah both think you are insane though, trying to read that many books in a given time frame is just dumb...sorry. (and she is an english teacher)
ok, so on a diffrent subject...i am going skiing tommoro. I am going with my school (CSU), but i am taking my buddy matt with me. There is a no 'drinking' policy...but i think that will have to be altered drastically!!! I will take pictures and post them soon.
I dont know why, but tonight i have been very moved with the power of music and the feelings in which it can inspire. While reading Bens blog I have had two songs tugging at my 'soul strings'.
Oleander: (lyrics follow)
I can’t take this anymore and i’m almost pretty sure i’ve been here before i can’t take this any longer i won’t heal until i’m stronger strong enough to not be afraid of what anybody thinks of what anybody says about the way about the way i am so i’ll wait until the day when those feelings fade away then i’ll make my break i can’t take this any more and i’m almost pretty sure i’ve been here before i can’t take this any longer i won’t heal until i’m stronger strong enough to not be afraid so i leave it up to you yeah i leave it in your hands respect your wishes and your demands but if it was up to me honey we’d already be back at home and living out our dreams living out everbody and everything i’ve known never taught me how to stand up on my own had to learn it from the one who let me go now i walk alone, yeah i walk alone, yeah living blissfully i guess you had to step away to make me want to be a bigger man, a bigger man than that i need you by my side as i take it all in stride I put away, i put away my pride oh i leave it up to you yeah i leave it in your hands respect your wishes and your demands but if it was up to me honey we’d already be back at home and living out….everbody and everything i’ve known never taught me how to stand up on my own had to learn it from the one who let me go now i walk alone yeah I walk alone, yeah i walk alone i walk alone i walk alone i walk alone i walk, oh yeah
whata kick ass song!
guess ya have to hear it to appreciate it. this program is not cut-n-paste friendly either...sorry
I think i like this jam because it has so many diffrent avenues of meaning. Many people and many things have 'let us go' over the years....depending on how you look at life. It is all about interpretation and what we get out of it all...made me think of this site (and ben). also makes me think of my first really kisk ass car...my eclipse...and my new car, my 300z, and how ironic life ,me, and these cars are. Life is weird....fuck i DIG IT!
