Having a moment..

When one shares something with another, one experiences an inner change. And then there are the fuck heads who end up teaching you a lesson. But what if you meet someone who is a combination of the two - it completely blows your fucking mind. And what if, they have such an affect on you, that their indifference is enough to drive you insane. It feels slightly unhealthy.

Cold

Regina Spektor on a cold Saturday night - apparently something that initiates happy thoughts. That is, according to my train of thoughts whilst writing that list of happy's at some absurd hour. But now as I sit here listening to Fidelity and reflecting on this made up notion, I think I've changed my mind. It is early March and already my ugg boots have subtly made their way out into the open - how absurd! But in all seriousness, surely it is too early in the year for this sort of thing. These delicate hints that winter is on it's merry way, are simply depressing me. Perhaps it is because change of season brings physical reminders of one's past. Not that I'm about to delve into the sordid details of my past life, no no. It does induce a strong sense of uneasiness however - somehow so much happens in the space of a year! I think the most appropriate and beneficial thing to do is invest in a snug, oversized coat, some nice woolen gloves and at least seventy pairs of black stockings. Ah, the joys of materialism. I may also knit a scarf.

Oh you crawled out of the sea

Laura Marling, endowed with a husky voice, an acoustic guitar and a gift for building quirky hooky folk songs. I first stumbled across her two years ago, just after her first album was released, 'Alas I cannot Swim'. One gets the impression of someone building their worldview as they grow, struggling to deal with new situations, and simultaneously drawn to both the outgoing urges of youth and more introspective moods. She once chose to perform on the street after being denied entry to one of her own performances for being underage. The reason for posting this blog; I am so freakin excited for her new album, 'I Speak Because I Can' which will be released on the 22nd of March.

'Moon River'

By New York based photographer, Ryan McGinely

Samuel Beckett

Out of the void, finally, a sound; while on a boat (admittedly) outside the action (admittedly) the perfect and absolute silence of the wet lazy slap of water against water and the rolling creak of timber-breaks; giving rise at once to the speculation or the assumption or the hope that something is about to happen; a pipe is heard. One of the sailors has pursed his lips against a woodwind, his fingers and thumb governing, shall we say, the ventages, whereupon, giving it breath, let us say, with his mouth, it, the pipe, discourses, as the saying goes, mosteloquent music.

A thing like that, it could change the course of events.

Fear not life nor death

Fear the nothing

Shy the calm

Dig the storm
