This one is for the rainy days...



Spring came, rain fell
we ended up nowhere

S Club 8 - Spring came, rain fell

I don't know about you, but some rainy days if you are in the right mood its nice to hear some "rainy" songs.

My playlist would have to include:

  • Travis - Why does it always rain on me?
  • S Club 8 - Spring Came, Rain Fell
  • Prince - Purple Rain
  • Guns & Roses - November rain
  • Radiohead - High and Dry

Too much Jane Austen for me?

...nah...perhaps its just 'cause I watched the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice & read Sense & Sensibility for a couple of hours...yeah, that must be it :P haha...

I am Elizabeth Bennet!


Take the Quiz here!


You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Who do you see looking back?


Take a look at yourself in a mirror who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be the
person you were meant to be but fell short of?
Is someone telling you you can’t or won’t? Because you can.
Believe that love is out there.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends
and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy
because you deserve to be. Believe that.
And believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.

Let go...



close and far
the details magnified
we lost sight of the bigger picture

happy sad
sometimes good things happen to us
disguising themselves as bad

remember the best
forgive and forget the rest

Sign on the window


Sign on the window says "Lonely,"
Sign on the door said "No Company Allowed,"
Sign on the street says "Y' Don't Own Me,"
Sign on the porch says "Three's A Crowd,"

A Comet Appears



The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning.
There are many who couldn’t understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again… And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart.

One Tree Hill

Last night I saw the season finale from One Tree Hill's season 6. Yet, one of my favorite quotes (meaning the one you can read above this) comes from the episode Hundred.

Ps. The title is from a song by The Shins - A Comet Appears

Do I have something to worry about?

Do I have something to worry about?
He replied: No.
In the end, turns out he was right...just not as he intended.
At least one thing was true

I've been reading lots of Twitter Twister Stories, which are twitter stories made of the exact 140 characters, and those inspired this post. Maybe I'll try to illustrate more later.

Just for the record...

...this has been the year with most posts, 56 so far counting this one.
Any bets on what the final number of posts is going to be by the end of the year? I don't think I'll make it to a hundred, but we'll see!

Exception


How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
..
Far other dreams my erring soul employ,
Far other raptures, of unholy joy:
When at the close of each sad, sorrowing day,
Fancy restores what vengeance snatch'd away,
Then conscience sleeps, and leaving nature free.

Pride and Prejudice


"There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me."

Guitar Study?


No, this ain't a guitar study, and I have to say guitars are extremely hard to draw!!
But I do think this one turned out better than my first one.
And yes, it is again Mr. Kelly Jones from Stereophonics, they post lots of pics at their Twitter twitpic so its fun for me to try to draw them.
