You’re my favorite song

I wanna sing it again
You’re my favorite song
Sing it to you

Stuck in my head
Replaying again
I don’t mind

Stuck in my heart
Managed to start
It’s alright

Cause you
Are my favorite song

-"Favorite Song"-KaiserCartel

How lovely that feeling must be.

I'm with the banned.

Now as always in our history, reading is among our greatest freedoms. The freedom to read and write is almost the only means for making generally available ideas or manners of expression that can initially command only a small audience. The written word is the natural medium for the new idea and the untried voice from which come the original contributions to social growth.

Here are some pic's from the display I set up at the library.

Sent via text message from a good friend:

"I love how this topic, that should be the net civil rights movement, is so scared of itself. Conservatives think that seeing the other side is a side of weakness, and liberals just think the other side is a racist ball of Christian Hicks. This country is so scared of losing that they’re both missing achieving the same damn goal.

 

Did everyone really think that on Jan 21^st everyone was gonna have a job, the war would be over, and cars would run on corn? C’mon man, you’re not doin’ anything to help the situation. Just cuz your friends are on unemployment and hanging out every night doesn’t mean that’s what you should do too.

 

Here’s the thing, both sides have good ideas about what they’ve seen and know. It wasn’t supposed to be easy by any means, but we’re never gonna get anywhere until we listen to each other. If not, then fuck it, we’ll all just die of swine flu."

PS-If you're trying to make me fall for you, you're going about it in entirely the right fashion!

Oh Pandora how you know me so! 

Well I'm so sad tonight

And the words won't come out right

It's been a long day on the track

And its stamina that I lack

 

So won't you run to me tonight?

Tonight we could pretend that we're just lovers

But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

 

Well my heart is beating hard

And I'm off with a shot at the start

And my legs tremble from strain

But by the finish line I am drained

 

So won't you run to me tonight?

Tonight let's not talk about next summer

Cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

 

Well I'm so proud tonight

Of the woman you've become

And I'm just too tired to fight

So my darling, I'll succumb

 

But you'll have to run to me tonight

Tonight I will love you forever

But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

 

Middle Distance Runner-Sea Wolf

Although, I guess my tastes aren’t all that hard to figure out. I’m kinda predictable actually. Put a cute sweater on a guy, some perfectly fit dark denims, give him some messed up tousled hair, have him strum on his guitar, and sing some lovely li’l lyrics about love and loss and whatnot and somesuch and gosh, I’m all yours. Or at least I’ll pretend I am and then run away. It’s what I do. There’s this really funny idea Mel, Hil and I have for this most awesome engagement/wedding scene that I’m gonna write. It’s so flippin’ hilarious and tragically true. Hehe….

 

Anyway, back to whatever random I was typing. Got distracted by myspace, Pandora, itunes and facebook oh and blogspot. Shit, I have a lot of windows open. So I decided all these baby-blogs I’ve been posting should really be going to my blogspot. I should do more with that. Today at work between the books, and patrons, and computers and cards I found all kinds of adorable fashiony cute gal blogs and totally got lost in that world and it made me wanna update my blogspot.

 

If I do, will you come read it? Yes, you. You right there. Cause I think you’re swell. And maybe you have some time to kill and wanna read whatever crazy crap I have to say. I’d love to read the crazy crap you have to say as well. Afterall, we are friends. And I’m sure I think you’re sexy and that your words are sexy and that your funny is sexy. Yes. Most definitely. I TOTALLY think your funny is sexy. I full heartily agree with every inch of my being that your funny is sexy. I believe funny is the best kinda sexy there is.

 

Okay I’ll stop hitting on you know. Gosh I’m a slut.

 

Actually that’s a lie I’m not a slut. Some might say a prude. But I’m not that either. Others may say a tease. And they might be right. Or maybe not. We’ll never know. Or I’ll blog about that topic tomorrow and then you will. We’ll see. Or not. Or...you know. Okay enough with the ridiculousness.

 

Also, back to original thought that spurred this blog in the first place: Sea Wolf.

 

I am in LOVE with this band. And I don’t use the word “love” willy-nilly . Something about the song “Middle Distance Runner” has captured my heart and it just won’t let it go. I could listen to it for a thousand years on repeat and forever be happy.

 

I love you song.  You are the song for me. I know what you're thinking, I fall in love with songs ever other week, but I think this may be it song. Cause you are pleasant, and fun, and perfect and flawed, and maybe you could love me back? Don’t answer me right now song. Think about it. Marinate on it. And maybe we could have something, you know.

 Okaybye.

I want you back my baby
I want you back in my arms
I want you back right now

~hm~

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float

And I came here to talk
I think you should know

That green eyes
You’re the one that I wanted to find

And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Have you ever listened to a band over and over and a song over and over and then all of a sudden you hear a song that you’re sure you’ve heard before but maybe not, and it’s like you just woke up?

That’s what happened this morning at 2am. I was listening to leo ipody and felt in a Coldplay mood and came across the song “Green Eyes” and for some reason always skip this song but today I decided was the day was gonna listen to this song, I’m gonna give it a chance.

It’s so beautiful! Most especially the lines:

And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Those words just make me incredibly happy because I hope someone one day feels that way about me. They’ll be like, “What do you mean you’ve never dated anyone?! The world must be out of their minds, but really thank goodness, lucky me!”

And in fear of being terribly adorable, I myself have met a green eyed fella’. I actually didn’t know his eyes were green until Tuesday night when I finally asked him what the heck the color of his eyes were. So as we stood there in Hastings in the Young Adult Book Section he took off his glasses, leaned in and said, “Green.” I said, “Oh.”

So…Alex, tag! You’re it!

~HM~

Didn't know what you were made of
Color of your blood what you're afraid of
Are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
Cause if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
Calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
But it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
Or if you're just aloof

Have you ever heard the first 10 seconds of a song and know you were in love? Haha..okay I bet you think you know where this one is going, but I’m really talking about an actual song this time and not metaphors for hearts and love and boys, but an actual song.

The song is “MX Missiles” by Andrew Bird, and gosh I’m in love! I don’t even know what it is about it but it was the first song to pop up on my Andrew Bird Pandora Playlist and I was like hold the phone, what is this beautifulness streaming into my life right now?! And so after thanking Matt on his wall I had to immediately download it from iTunes.

I really want to download the whole CD or all of his CD’s but I restrained myself to this one perfect song for right now. I mean not only is it more than enough to feed my heart at the moment but it’ll give me a chance to marinate and swim and bathe in its loveliness before wading through more greatness. Not sure my heart could take like 12 tracks of pure awesome love, ya know? Also, money, it’s a good thing to save.

But seriously, this song, download it now and fall in love with me.

Also, random side note: I’m gonna write a self-help book and its gonna flippin’ rockawesome. Seriously. Its gonna be so ridiculous and silly and fun and dumb and I think somewhat doable. Haha…so yeah. That’s me, that’s what floating around the ol’ cranium at the moment.

Hope you have the most stupendously lovely of Tuesdays today my friends and family. May it hold some grand adventures big and small. May you laugh with all your might when you think of a fond memory or when something catches you off guard. May the day job fly by so that you can get back to the things you love to do for pleasure. May you feel that you’ve accomplished many great things and felt you’ve helped make humanity and this world a better place even in the smallest of smiles, gestures and actions.

Yup.
