Pros and cons of inebriation


Pros:
incredible dance moves (at least you thought so before the youtube video)
increased flexibility (minor joint damage)
increased vocabulary (lots of neologisms)
instantaneous confidence (and instant rejection)
the ability to turn every sidewalk into a catwalk
intense curiosity
magnificent ability to start conversations you have no intention of finishing
unreasonable interest in the banalities of furniture despite ignoring it while in locomotion

Cons:
Waking up with a concussion
Unexplained bruises all over your legs
Dirt in your bed
Random trinkets in your pockets
Text message records
Porcelain god
Policemen lacking a sense of humor
Calories
Doughnuts (see above)

New Blog!

There's a new sheriff (blog) in town. I recently came to the conclusion that not all my readers have the same taste in music as I do. For those of you who do however, I have created a new blog. This new blog is dedicated to music. It will ONLY feature music. I won't bore those of you who have no interest in me or my random rants with any of my oddities. Instead you can listen to my music at "http://lovelyandloud.blogspot.com". If however by some miracle of zeus you find both me and my music the slightest bit entertaining, then by all means follow both this blog and my music blog. Obviously you get ultimate brownie points for following both blogs. Cheers!

My favorite song


I haven't the slightest clue why this song resonates so much with me. I can listen to it for an hour on repeat and not get tired of it. It always sounds new. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. I remember the emotion that overcame me then and I still feel it, though not nearly as strongly. My mom and I want to see SEAL in concert together because we both love his music. If I can credit anyone with my great taste in music, it would have to be my mom. She has always had music playing in our house, and if it isn't playing, then she's making lovely music of her own. That woman has the voice of an angel. Anyway, here are the lyrics to Kiss From a Rose, by SEAL. Listen to the song and read the lyrics. Maybe you'll be as obsessed with it as I am, but I doubt it.

KISS FROM A ROSE
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain

Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen

Baby, I might compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

I've been kissed from a rose on the grave
Ooh, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

This is the acoustic version of the song.
