"Let It Go"

Written by James Bay

From walking home and talking loads

To seeing shows in evening clothes with you

From nervous touch and getting drunk

To staying up and waking up with you

The Moods of Songs: Gravity

Gravity

 - Sara Bareilles

Song 1 of 12

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

No matter what I say or do

I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone

Music and it's Power Over Your Mood.

Everyone knows that music can have a powerful effect on someone's mood. You play hard fast music to work out to, and you play slower softer music to relax. You listen to sad songs and you listen to bright songs.

Quiet Desperation

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. 

What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. 

From the desperate city, you go into the desperate country and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. 

A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. 

There is no play in them, for this comes after work. 

But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." 

      - Henry David Thoreau

I'll just leave this here...

Am I The Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way)

   Dixie Chicks, from the album (showing my age here) "Wide Open Spaces"

Winter Returns and With it My Discontent.

Now is the winter of our discontent

Made glorious summer by this sun of York;

And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house

In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

The Search for Civilization Continues

I have been trying for two weeks now to have a good bowl of soup at lunchtime. Not a great bowl of soup - I have not been going to 5-star restaurants - but the inability to get a good bowl of soup amazes me.

NaNoWriMo FTW!

So, NaNoWriMo went well. I managed to hold it together for the last week and in fact finished a couple days early. Well, I passed the 50,000 word mark early, I made some changes to the ending a few times right up to November 30th.
