Life and Lyrics

Void;

Have you ever noticed that music becomes apart of your life so much so that every song you listen to has a memory attached to it? I know I do. It doesn’t matter if it is good or bad there is always at least one memory per song, and when I listen I go into a daze of this memory and it takes me back to a certain time in my life.

Well this town is much the same. It is the town I grew up in. Every corner I turn there is a shadow reminding me of a forgotten past, every street a reminiscent memory, with each step I am reminded of a time that I wish I could hold in my grasp once again. A time so sweet and fragrant with laughter and joy.

Just like everyone else, when I was young I wished to grow up but now that I have aged I would give anything to go just even for a few hours.  To have that joy beating through my veins, to feel the excitement in my chest that I could do anything. To feel the wonder of the possibility that my dream was only a stone throw away.

Now it is the worries, the dread of true adulthood. Everyone around me moving on, the group of friends that once existed is no longer, we linger at events but everyone is creating families and doing what they are suppose to do you see, all but I. I will be the last.

Sometimes I wonder if the comrades I had such a close kinship with for so many years ever think of me, the way I think of them?

I wonder if I fell off the face of the earth if they would even notice. My guess is probably not as I ave already found out that I can leave for work for 6 months and they do not even know until I am back. With that said, it is a two sided street.

Void, I wish to find that happiness again. I hope that one day I will.

For now I am “growing up” and “moving on” but boy does change suck!

Da-Nuh-NUH! Dancing in the ?

So you’re driving along and you see someone just giving ‘er in their car, music blaring or not

They are just dancing their brains out behind that steering wheel!

The whole car is rocking with them and they are just bouncing, fist pounding, head banging away, you know the general rock and roll style.

But they have the biggest smile on their face.

“WHAT A LOSER”

“I bet They think they’re cool!”

You give an you have got to be kidding glare, laugh and drive off still feeling kind of shocked at what you saw, that someone could be that ridiculous. But notice you still laugh even if you think that person is a complete and utter moron.

Here is something for you I’m one of those morons!!

I know everyone can see me, that doesn’t bother me. I’m having a great time in my own little world.

I may not like the song thats on but if its catchy I’m head banging, turning the stereo up and singing and grooving my heart out!

Here is to all you other car dancers, keep doing what you do! and keep having fun!

Just Another Day in Paradise

The glass caresses my lips, my cheek, cool to the touch. The wine is chilled,  a bitter succulent blanket wrapping around my tongue. The lights are dim with a candle burning in the distance.

Amelia Curran serenades me with her melodic voice with stories of the life that we all know but can not say, just the type of music I need or should say is fitting on a night like tonight. In the background I hear the pitter patter of little feet and happy ferret chatter.

“ahhh me I can see…. “

The computer screen is orange, the ferrets have gotten through my barricades in to places in which they don’t belong and its 10 pm I still have to shower to get up at 4 am but at this particular moment, none of that bothers me. I am an unsureal calm. The one that only comes once in a while. The one you wish would last forever.

After a day like mine I did not expect this. The day itself was not that bad, but it was my first day back to work after a week off in which I was unable to sleep the night before, aka I am usually a zombie so this is a much welcome surprise.

Julia Queen of hearts, a causality of everything

The ferrets are in bed, the wine enjoyed and its time for me to go get ready for the next work day.

Goodnight Amelia, thank you for your heartfelt lyrics

Goodnight dear readers

Sleep well.
