did you know

that if you close your eyes you can be anywhere in the world?
anywhere.

a swelling rage.

in my lit class we're reading the most random fantasy novels and fairy tales with the help of monsieur lescart. and i have to say that i had my doubts about this fellow but now he's regained my faith. he played "hey jude" in class the other day to compare it to a book we're reading. doesn't get any better than that. and the fact that we're reading harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban definitely sweetens the deal.

this video perfectly describes where i'm at right now. & i love mumford & sons and bookshop sessions.
recently i've been listening to artists who have a fierce passion resonating in their voice that has caught my ear and demands the listener to truly hear. to listen beyond the sweet noise the artist creates and to the heart of it all, their words.

Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body?

& i know it well.

That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks

wild.

By the way
Know you've always been the one

sometimes damien rice can speak to your soul.


i've been laptopless for a week and have been trying to find ways to spend my time besides sleeping.
& i've got nothing.
but the warmth of the sun & all that is our world has been comforting me.


i once saw a commercial about depression and it had damien rice's picture in the background.
yikes.



I gave me away...

as spring break comes to a close i thought this would be the perfect opportunity to reflect on what i've learned and felt in this small week:
1. have no expectations because they will never be met.
2. grease 2 is a disgrace to the grease franchise.
3. listening to the tallest man on earth with my dad in the car was one of those spontaneous things i'll never forget for as long as i live.
4. anyone else googoo for gaga?
5. i didn't realize how much i truly miss my brother. two more months & he's out.
6. it doesn't matter if you're in a hell hole or if you're in heaven, as long as you're with the people that matter to you and they bring the best part of you out that's all you truly need.

deep shit.

the night

i've been listening to this song pretty much every night before i go to bed for a while and it's just so gratifying.
why?
in the words of esquire: "Because right at the end of this elegant song by the singer and guitarist for the Black Keys, there's a note that out of nowhere goes flat, and because that note says everything you need to know about everything dark."
my sentiments exactly.

ella & louis
