song is on my mind

Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog
This has got to be my ultimate favorite song right now. I am in love with it! The story with this song is nothing too fancy. I was taking a shower after my morning run and this came out on The Shins iTunes Radio station. Let me tell you, this song makes me want to buy a one way to Paris and just live there, even if it means living in a dumpster. It is so catchy, the tune is so peppy and positive, the lyrics... They are everything a hopeless romantic wish they could say to someone they really love. At first I thought it was a love song (it still is) about a guy who just really appreciates his beloved (still is) but the difference is that he doesn't grab up the courage to tell her how much she means to him. Like when you are stuck in the "friendzone" and your crush just treats you so well, and is always there for you, how do you not fall in love? This kind of reminds me when me and my boyfriend first started talking as friends. We would just tell each other everything, and be good to each other, even if it was just through the phone. This is a great song! I absolutely adore everything about it. It is just one of those songs that can make you smile even when you don't want to. It is ALWAYS on my mind (for now at least, or who knows?) and definitely on my running song list.

10 Things I learned from watching RuPaul's Drag Race

As some of you may know, I am deeply obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race. With Season 8 and the 100th episode airing today, I've decided to express my emotions through a FABULOUS AND SICKENING LIST! Here is what this show has done for me. 10. Believe in Your Craft; WORK IT OUT! Sometimes, we wish we could pull off things we don't think we are good at. But hey, no one has to know what a wreck you are. COMMIT TO YOUR LOOK. Commit to your talent, and commit to yourself. Once you do, no one can come for you baby. You've got this in the bag. Unless you cause a total car crash and piss off Mama Ru. 9. You're more than just a pretty face Although to be a successful drag queen one must master the art of giving GOOD FACE, Mama Ru has taught me that it takes more than just FACE to be a drag superstar. While looking for Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent, you have to remember that even though you may not be good at something, if you apply the Force of th...

song is on my mind

 Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead "But I can't help the feeling, I could blow through the ceiling..." It's incredible how as time goes by, songs that used to feed and ease the pain become enjoyable to listen to again. I pushed repeat on this jam my entire high school and half of my college career. It almost seemed as if my relationships back then could be considered fake. plastic. trees.  How I wanted to be in love so badly, and worse, be loved back in the same way. From people who had their own agendas, standards of beauty, requisites for romance.  "If I could be, who you wanted... all the time." I altered my cultural tastes like a well fitted designer suit.  I let them shop my attire, uniform style. Suddenly, my desires were no longer viable and adequate.  You're not really that pretty, you're not that smart either. She went crazy, even when she was already mad. "It wears her out." I sure looked like the real thing, tasted like the real thi...

song is on my mind

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony Words cannot explain how I feel right now, but I can try. I feel like this huge chunk of negativity in me has been transplanted off my chest, my mind, my heart, my life. Everyday, there was this bit in me that made me miserable, and I never quite now how to rid myself from it. I tried, but to no avail. It grew worse and worse, and it was affecting my daily life, my relationship, and my happiness most of all. Today, I talked it out of me. It came out of my throat, slid through my tongue, and presented itself out of my mouth. I have this very bad tendency of holding all of my rancor and thoughts inside, and never really talking them through with people. I will literally hold a lot of things to my grave, or at least until they become irrelevant. Not today. It is strange how I was just thinking about how much harm this negativity was creating, and how I must seek relief. The only way was to either, a) talk about it, or, b) finish things. I grew the cou...
