Even if you are not a fan of the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, or Dave Grohl himself...his SXSW 2013 Keynote Speech sucked me in.

Silver Dreams

"Ceilings"

I haven't stopped your smoking yet
So I'll share your cigarette
Just to feel it in my fingers

Walk around 'til 3 a.m.
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing

All my silver dreams bring me to you

Hold the summer in your hands
'Til the summer turns to sand
We were staring at our ceilings

Thinking of what we'd give
To have one more day of sun
One day of sun

Silver dreams bring me to you
Silver dreams bring me to you
Silver dreams bring me to you

Sweetest Kill

I had to post one more song because it is so so good.  I love Broken Social Scene and haven't listened to them in a while.  It's time to catch up with an old friend.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Monday To-Do:
*Get Up-Check!
*Drink Coffee-Check!
*Dress to Impress-Check!
*Smile More-Check!
*Conquer the World-Work in progress

Random thoughts:
If I ruled the world, I would make work weeks 2 days and weekends 5 days.  That sounds so much better doesn't it?  Since that won't be happening any time soon, I guess I will make the best of the time I do have off and try to still have fun while at work.  If you have any suggestions, let me know. 

I sure did have fun dancing in my kitchen most of Sunday morning.  Sunday morning breakfast is kinda my thing and putting music on and dancing while cooking makes me happy.

Sleep Perchance to Dream

I could not sleep last night.  I fell asleep around midnight and then was awake at 4 due to crazy dreams.  It is the weirdest feeling to wake up from a deep sleep while dreaming.  Ray Charles once said, "Dreams, if they're any good, are always a little bit crazy."  Well this was about scorpions, which are awful.  I have this fear that I am going to wake up some day and one will be crawling on me.  I tend to dream about them a lot, I wonder what it means? 

Needless to say, I am tired this morning, but at least it is Friday.  I am looking forward to the month of May when I don't have to be at work until 10:30am.  It will be a nice change, not having to rush out the door in the morning.  I can take my time, make breakfast, and have a quiet moment. 

What do I do when I can't sleep?  Listen to music of course.  Last night consisted of Modest Mouse and Radiohead.  Happy Friday and hope the weekend treats you well!

Daydream Believer

"An average daydream is about fourteen seconds long and we have about two thousand of them per day. In other words, we spend about half of our waking hours — one-third of our lives on earth — spinning fantasies. We daydream about the past: things we should have said or done, working through our victories and failures. We daydream about mundane stuff such as imagining different ways of handling conflict at work. But we also daydream in a much more intense, storylike way. We screen films with happy endings in our minds, where all our wishes — vain, aggressive, dirty — come true. And we screen little horror films, too, in which our worst fears are realized."  The Storytelling Animal

If I could collect all my thoughts and memories in a jar.....


Pink Floyd is on the agenda today...And Atom Heart Mother Suite is pretty epic. 

ACL 2014 Lineup

The ACL lineup is officially here!  Even if I don't always agree with the lineup, it is still a great event and worth going to, even just once.  I am glad they brought day passes back this year as well as a second weekend.  I might actually make it this year.  Who else plans on going?

Manic Monday

It's just another manic Monday, but the weekend was a good one.  For those that celebrate Easter, I hope it was a good one.  My idea of Easter is heading to brunch at Roaring Fork and that is exactly what I did.  Grapefruit mimosas, green chili pork enchiladas, creme brulee french toast, fried chicken, prime rib....I could go on and on. 

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with good friends and spending some quality time with mom.  As busy as the weekend was, I still got some rest & relaxation, now bring on this week!

Current read:  American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Movies recently watched:  Philomena and The Book Thief (I really need to start reading the books first)

Song of the day:

A Band of Bees-Listening Man....Happy Monday!

This is the day...

....and the day is Friday.  At 4:30 it will be my favorite day of the week.  Peter Cottontail is on his way Sunday, but I will be headed to brunch.  I hope to see him there. 

It's a beautiful day today.  The sun is out and I get to see a good friend tonight.  I often think about the friends I have held onto throughout the years.  I also think about the ones I've lost and wonder where they are now in life.  It's funny what life does and where it takes you.  At the end of the day, I'd rather have 5 good friends than 50 acquaintances. 

So I will sit and ponder life for a bit while I listen to this....
