tales from an ordinary world

"Just give me
give me
give me the power
and I'll make them believe."
Suede

Music is such a guilty pleasure. Trapped at the screen, randomizing my mp3 collection but skipping up to all the right tracks, the ones that seem to perfectly envelope my none-too-shabby-but-still-fairly-uneventful existence, and I don't have to do anything, I don't have to apologize, I don't have to get up, I don't have to feel like I'm wasting my time, I don't have to worry about what I want to say what I will say and and what I should've said. I want to die with my headphones on, listening to The Song, the one that fills me with effortless energy and poignant world-weariness and hope and cloudy, sunny and rainy days, all at once.
