tru- beau-

"fresh" off a 10-hour work day, hair in a ridiculously messy bun and mismatched attire.... a handsome boy in a suit just said "hey" and waved to me through the window of the nail salon as i was drying my nails.

swoon.

where are you, handsome stranger?

lyrics of the day

there i was again tonight
forcing laughter, faking smiles
same old tired, lonely place
walls of insincerity
shifting eyes and vacancy
vanished when i saw your face
all i can say is that it was enchanting to meet you

you're eyes whispered 'have we met?'
crossed the room, your sillohuette
starts to make its way to me
the playful conversation starts
counter all your quick remarks
like passing notes in secrecy
and it was enchanting to meet you
all I can say was i was enchanted to meet you

this night is sparkling
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck
blushing all the way home
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up
2am, who do you love?
i wonder 'til i'm wide awake
i know i'm pacing back and forth
wishing you were at my door
i'd open up and you would say
'it was enchanting to meet you'
all i know is i was enchanted to meet you

this night is sparkling
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck
blushing all the way home
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew, ooh

this night is flawless
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck
dancing around all alone
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was enchanted to meet you

this is me praying that this was the very first page
not where the storyline ends
my thoughts will echo your name
until i see you again
these are the words i held back as i was leaving too soon
i was enchanted to meet you
please, don't be in love with someone else
please, don't have somebody waiting on you
please, don't be in love with someone else
please, don't have somebody waiting on you

this night is sparkling
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck
blushing all the way home
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew

this night is flawless
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck
dancing around all alone
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew
i was enchanted to meet you

please, don't be in love with someone else
please, don't have somebody waiting on you

never have i ever

i never learn.
i never listen.
i never do what other people think i should.
i never do what i think i should.
i never do what i don't want to do.
i never think other people's opinion of me are better than my own.
i never get scared of a challenge.
i never feel complete.
i never like to try new things.
i never sound as i think i should.
i never make sense.
i never think this is the end.

reunited and it feels so good

sad but true, take 23472834627836

ugh. sad.

yearning to share my luuuuurve!

planet michael jackson

this is fuckin' weird.

war zone!

OK, super dramatic... as per usual. but sometimes having your office in the middle of a bus terminal makes for some interesting shakes and stirs.

oh, and it also smells like sweat and tears more often than not.

sad but true.

flashback to the 90s...

an excerpt from keith richards

rolling stone will publish an exclusive excerpt from keith richards' long awaited memoir "life" on october 15, eleven days before the eagerly anticipated book hits stores on october 26. The 10,000 word excerpt will cover the early days of the rolling stones, keith’s trip to tangiers in 1967 where he stole anita pallenberg from bandmate brian jones and tales of excess from the stones’ infamous 1972 u.s. tour. "you can’t imagine that this book could be any better than it is," says rolling stone managing editor will dana. "keith holds nothing back. it’s funny, gossipy, profane and moving and by the time you finish it you feel like you’re friends with keith richards. outside of bob dylan’s "chronicles", it’s probably the best rock memoir ever written." richards, who will appear on the cover of the magazine, also spoke with rolling stone’s david fricke about the book and the stones’ upcoming plans, strongly hinting that the band will be active in 2011.

song of the day

when you can't find the light
that got you through the cloudy days,
when the stars ain't shinin' bright
you feel like you've lost you're way.
when those candle lights of home
burn so very far away,
well you got to let your soul shine
just like my daddy used to say.

he used to say soulshine,
it's better than sunshine,
it's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
hey now people don't mind,
we all get this way sometime.
got to let your soul shine,
shine 'til the break of day.

i grew up thinkin' that i had it made,
gonna make it on my own.
life can take the strongest man,
make him feel so alone.
now sometimes i feel a cold wind
blowin' through my achin' bones,
i think back to what my daddy said,
he said "boy, in this darkness before the dawn"

let your soul shine,
it's better than sunshine,
it's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
yeah now people don't mind,
we all get this way sometimes.
gotta let your soul shine,
shine 'til the break of day.

sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
a woman too, god knows, she can feel like this.
and when your world seems cold,
you got to let your spirit take control.

let your soul shine,
it's better than sunshine,
it's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
lord, now people don't mind,
we all get this way sometimes,
gotta let your soul shine,
shine 'til the break of day.

oh, it's better than sunshine,
it's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
yeah now people don't mind,
we all get this way sometimes,
gotta let your soul shine,
shine 'til the break of day.
