Birthdays Were Special
An excerpt from some writings I’m posting here:

“My mind filled with memories of the years we’d spent together. I didn’t want someone else to wish you happy birthday first. Or rather, I didn’t want him to wish you happy birthday before me … I knew that if I could tell you just what I felt that you’d over look this pawn of a jock and pick me - your...

And When...
And When it seems everyone thinks one way, and says one thing. Think another, because it’s in those moments that you find what you believe in and why you wake up in the morning. It’s in those moments that you learn you have to earn the right to be heard, to be understood, and most of all to have an opinion of your own. Found from personal reflection, study of issues relevant to you,...
And so it goes ...
El gaupo for the tourney, the village idiot for the speckled hen, the tourbadour for the daylights. So far so good. W

We Were So Cool
We You were so cool. Incredibly cool to be precise and I knew that. More importantly - you knew I knew that, and you liked me regardless. I wasn’t cool, and everyone but you seemed to inform me of that fact daily. That amazes me still today. Kids can be so unforgiving. They can be so cruel and awful to one another. It simply boggles my mind how just a few years before they were...

life just makes sense. even for a moment. even though the day wasn’t perfect, it just gives you enough to say, “i’m ok with how this ended. today that is. not forever. just today.” yeah. that sounds about right.

You Knew It When You Kissed Me
I was a good kisser, you weren’t bad yourself but for being caught unprepared, you see I was fully committed to this moment - this second - these lips and yours - and it surprised you. The fact that on top of all of the other ways I’d grown up - I could kiss.
I kissed with the same reckless abandon I danced with the homeless guy on the subway platform. Your reaction was the same...

I also included a nice mix of everything I’ve posted in the last week or so as well.
Enjoy!

A Review of Bon Iver's Album: For Sara, Forever... →
I listened to this album 7 times this weekend.
If the review makes sense buy it:
Open acoustic guitars, quaking and haunting falsettos, and honest emotion. Song structure that follows sensation rather than typical form. The sound of Bon Iver is that of an open heart; of your best friend confessing his or her love to you. However don’t for a second lump this album in the category of...

A great all around sound and a very solid band from what I’ve heard. Hailing from KC, MO they’ve got unique sound and very tight arrangements.
