things that are Certain

" ::ahem::

births and winter, white weddings in june
shadow in sunlight, champagne at new year's, and the ascension of hot air balloons.
a world which teems with mystery although it's people grow bored
of course, Death and taxes, which one can't ignore.
Gravity's pull bringing autumn leaves to the ground
Time catching up to a globe spinning down.
atomic clocks, empty post boxes and hallway coat hooks and plates,
European trains leaving their stations late.
Divine Truth etched on the hearts of all men,
inner turmoil engendered by all philosophies Zen,
old-timers sitting remembering 'when,'
espresso stains on a cafe apron,
and the inevitable existence of inkless bank pens.

::pause::

but... my knowledge of you is not Certain, ever-increasing through the days, each new revelation endearing to me your delightfully curious ways.

Listening to: Bright Eyes Cassadaga "I Must Belong Somewhere"

real indie

...this is what i had intended to post before i was distracted by the videos i found. i've recently been informed of the grandeur of okkervil river.  also, i have been informed that their music is not the only amazing thing about them. they did some live recordings on tour and posted it at no charge online. joy! bonuses as indie was meant to be.

golden opportunities

check it out!

"what is it?" ... "well, it's a little thing i like to call FIRE JUICE!"

disclaimer: probably more entertaining to do than to watch (err... i mean, do not try this at home w/o proper adult type supervision) i found these back today and it made me laugh! pretty sure i promised to post them ages ago. oh well... better late, right? i'll let them speak for themselves except that i must add that watson was incredibly jealous that i managed a MASSIVE fireball (that the camera just doesn't do justice) my first try, while it took him a turn or two. ;) i'm still proud of that fact.


oh yes!
