fear not, weep not

Sometimes I run across a quote I really like. And sometimes I feel the need to put it in a layout. Yep, it happens.

Random Haikus

Laughter Endurance

The universe is

Constantly challenging my

Laughter endurance

Choice Wins

Ninjas beat pirates

But neither beat circumstance

Only choice does that

Happiness

You only live once

Pick up the pieces and go

Happiness awaits

The Couch Blues

My couch is awesome 

But it reminds me of you

Therefore I hate it

Rock Star

Geophysicist

Different kind of rock star

But one none-the-less

Yep.

More Train Stuff

My boss and his wife have me on a big Lucinda Williams kick. If you don't know her music, go check it out. It's good. Really good. And the lyrics - wow. 

This is the line that kept tripping me up this morning - from "Can't Let Go."


And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over, I know it, but I can't let go.


For reasons that don't much matter, I love those two lines. I'm not sure what my infatuation with train metaphors has been this past year, but they seem to be EVERYWHERE.

Speaking of trains, anyone want to do a cross-country train trip with me and Dirty D?!? It'll be FUN!!!!

Handwritten Haikus

I'm going to start a new series on this blog of handwritten (and illustrated) haikus. My insomnia makes me do funny things. Anyway, prepare yourselves because this is going to be randomly awesome.

To Whom It May Concern

During my iTunes binge this morning, I ran across The Civil Wars. If you're into singer/songwriters, then check this duo out - chill vibe, excellent lyrics and very distinct vocals. ANYWAY, I have two favorite tracks right now, but I'll go with the lesser known one here. It's called "To Whom It May Concern" and it's beautiful. 


Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
Ooo the way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh
The way your kisses taste
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do, How I do
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I missed you
I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently.


Buy the song or the entire album. Woohoo.
