just slept way too much... just slept

My feet will not stop dancing.
Dancing grooves into the green bedroom rug.
Dancing across the sidewalk to work (!!)
Dancing in my head and not out of desperation.

Spring has drenched me with hope and melted away the shadows.

It seems as if I am at the threshold of so many glorious new beginnings:

a single class away from the beginning of the end of my degree.
a season of travel with the greatest friends that there are
a year of keeping fingers crossed on a new place to hang my hat

Love is swirling me into a waltz of dreams and possibilities.

Like a child...you remember // but I forget...all my dreams

I love to watch children bowling. Especially the mad excitement of a birthday party; with all the noisemakers and scattered excitement watching the ball creep down the lane and tipping over the pins.

I love when I buy socks or boxers or a shirt from Kohl's, putting them away in a drawer and then coming back to them in a day; smelling them and immediately racing back in my mind to school clothes and those dreaded, yet anxious days before the leaves fell and the bell rang.

I love my friend Kelly, who swept away her entire Tuesday afternoon to take me out to the arcade and pay for dinner and adventure through our separate but united childhood of games and laughs. She may be the most caring person I have ever met in my life. She gives without the slightest thought to her own well-being. I stop here as I have no desire to clinically dissect this magical moment.

I will walk down to the ocean //After waking from the nightmare // No moon, no pale reflection // Black Mirror...

I saw Pan's Labyrinth just the other day and I thought it was glorious. I just can't believe how wondrously those themes of war and peril and death could be woven, through the eyes and heart of a child, through a adventurous tale of imagination. So tragic. So so tragic.

I think that Arcade Fire is going to be the next 'only band that matters'. Where it seems like Radiohead has fix themselves until they are broken, they seem truly capable of pouring the purest of darkness and light from left to right headphone, this song's strings (especially in the middle) remind me of something from Fantasia. So menacing.



I've been thinking a lot about Savannah lately...
