The Resolution
~Jack's Mannequin

There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel

That I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

Tomorrow back from now.
Honey I'm almost home

You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light

Strictly Game
~The Harlem Shakes

Up from the basement to my best friend's farm
Where we'll work so hard, we can do no harm

We'll till the land and duck our debts
Underneath soft sun, chewing Nicorette

This will be a better year
This will be a better year

Make a little money, take a lot of sh*t
Feel real bad, then get over it

This will be a better year

Oh I keep pushing boulders
I stay game till sun'll shake my shoulders
Oh, I keep feeling older
I stay game, stay game, stay game

The East Coast kids, man, we just don't know
Singing wait, wait, stop, drop me, go, go, go
But I'm taken by the hand to a blue pay phone
We can break blue laws with our skin and bones

And now I'm back in the city, I'm counting frick frick frick
Heard of milk crate kings, speaking soft and thick
He said, "If life gives you lemons, then thus god bade.
So put a little bit of bitter in your pink lemonade"

I'm sick of thee sheep, I'm sick of thou shepherd
Sick of dressing like a human when I'm feeling like a leopard
I'm sick of slow rock, I'm sick of quick quips
Sick of holding on to nothing when I just want to hold your hips

This will be a better year
This will be a better year

Make a little money, take a lot of sh*t
Feel real bad, then get over it

This will be a better year

Oh I keep pushing boulders
I stay game till sun'll shake my shoulders
Oh I keep feeling older
I stay game, stay game, stay game

a great quote

saw this on my friend lucie's facebook page and thought it was a great sentiment:

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
~Oscar Wilde

at the recommendation of my friend susan, i found the idea of posting "three beautiful things" (after a blog which which she is familiar) an amazing way to keep my mind and my spirit focused on my creative center, which is where my positive reality II being will be nourished.

coucou princesse!

"you have to practice success. success doesn't just show up. if you aren't practicing success today, you won't wake up in 20 years and be successful, because you won't have developed the habits of success, which are small things like finishing what you start, putting a lot of effort into everything you do, being on time, treating people well" ~ michelle obama
"sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did. you've got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. ~ steve jobs

"i am no fan of books, and chances are, if you're reading this, you and i share a healthy skepticism about the printed word. well, i want you to know that this is the first book that i've ever written, and i hope it's the first book you've ever read....i didn't write it. i dicatated it. i shouted it into a tape recorder over the columbus day weekend..." ~~stephen colbert
“i ate some potato chips,” he might say, to which i’d reply, “what kind?” or “that’s funny, so did i!” more often than not we’d just breathe into our separate receivers. “are you still there?” “i’m here.” “good. don’t hang up.” “i won’t.”" ~~david sedaris
"...i would like to beg you dear sir, as well as i can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." ~~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903
"i find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself. why refer to lady crack pipe or good sir dishrag when these things could never live up to all that their sex implied?" ~~ david sedaris
"then there are the nursery rhymes. what's a cuter image than three little kittens that have lost their mittens? well, brace yourself: kittens don't wear mittens. i'm going to let that sink in. and why don't they wear mittens? because they'd just get caught on their razor-sharp claws" ~~ stephen colbert
