I am Ordinary People

Maybe we should take it slow (John Legend). Just listening to this song over and over - it makes me feel better. Here's a part that I love:


Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I
[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow


Sometimes I leak! We all leak I suppose... it's like a tire - we must.... leak. I had no idea how shaky I am on self confidence in certain matters.... why don't they have classes on that in high school - that's something I could apply in real life.

Drops of Jupiter

"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken

your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong"

Drops of Jupiter - Train

I've been singing that song in my head all day. I borrowed the album from the Library (I even love the Canadian Library system - what can I say?- I love Canada!) and I've listened to that song continuously - there's something about that song. I think that it has drugs in it. Like Guster (a band) and that song Fast Ball ("was I out of my head? was I out of my mind?") - it's music that just keeps you coming back for more, music that just makes me feel heady - hungry for.... something. Natalie Cole makes me feel that way too.. and Molly Johnson..hmm this list is longer than I thought it would be.

p.s. today I heard the best sentence for the year so far - one more laden with (hope?)and (possibility?)..... and (I don't know what)... than you can imagine.... it was this:
"slow and steady wins the race"
wow
still smiling.

My Baby would you be my summer rain?

it's raining again - and finally getting cooler. Sometimes the rain feels like a release. It washes clean and leaves you feeling as though you've breathed out - a nice long breath out. the grass is getting green instead of the old tired dusty yellow... and it's breathable outside, cool and breathable.
I know this is weather talk of a sort, but not merely that - this is also how I feel - as though I am breathing out - relaxing after a few weeks of tension... smiling after a bit of a drought...happy. tentatively so - I know that tomorrow will be sweltering hot once more and I'll be itchy to leave the city. but right now I am happy exactly where I am and smiling that happy grin you get after you've met a kindred spirit: one who is not afraid to walk down Front street with you singing loudly:).
Here's to Rain's Release and Happy Days.
