radiohead

Very early this morning I was on an airplane and I listened to Radiohead's album, "The Bends." It was really cool because actually listening to it on the plane gave me a whole new perspective.

Lyrics to the song The Bends:

"Alone on the airplane, falling asleep against the window pane, my blood will thiiiicken."

In addition to the obvious mention of an airplane, in the following song High and Dry I looked at it from a plane's perspective where before I thought of it only as a clothesline or something. I'm not saying what I thought of this morning was right or anything because I do like my original interpretations, but it's nice to get a whole new outlook on one of my favorite albums. 

memories in a pack of gum

I bought a pack of Big Red today and it always reminds me of going to my grandparents house as a little kid. My grandma would always have a pack in her fridge. To this day I still don't know why she kept it cold, maybe she thought it would cool down the heat of the gum...maybe she thought it would get old, and she needed to refrigerate it. Who knows....

wish

I wish I could whistle like Andrew Bird. That guy is simply amazing.
Listen to Spare-Ohs...

song #2

I absolutely love the song, “If It’s the Beaches” by the Avett Brothers. The acoustic guitar is beautiful. However, like some people complain about the choir intro of "You Can’t Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones, there is a middle section of the song that I cannot stand. They add a sound clip of a girl recording a voicemail message, and it is so incredibly stupid. I hate it. If I didn’t think so highly of the rest of the song I believe I would never ever listen to it again because it’s that terrible.

movie time

I just have to say Ferris Bueller's Day Off is an amazing movie. Can you tell me one other movie that has as many great one-liners??


Cameron: Ferris, my father loves this car more than life itself.
Ferris: A man with priorities so far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine automobile.

song

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather, in a beautiful world

I wish I was special, you're so {very} special. 

~

I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control.

I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul.

I want you to notice, when I'm not around.

You're so {very} special, I wish I was special.

didgeridoo

I have always been fascinated by didgeridoos. You know, they're those awesome Australian instruments that sound like nothing you've ever heard before. I hope to get one someday, I think they are so cool. 
Ha ha, I can just see myself playing one looking ridiculous, but I'd have fun! :)
