music is what feelings sound like

Jack Johnson

"Music is one of the best ways to enjoy the present. It's not much fun to look forward to hearing music or to remember what a song sounded like last week, but music right now absorbs you and places you in the present moment."

~Sonnett Branche

good luck, dear

"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more succesful"

-Mark Victor Hansen

the unreal

I Dream of Italy by h_roach

#5 Friday, 12th June

"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Woods rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."

-Chuck Palahniuk (American freelance journalist, satirist, and novelist)

"Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love"

-Charlie Brown (fictional character from the comic strip created by Charles Schulz, Peanuts)

and here's the song of the day (the song that can kill my doubt), Secret Heart by Ron Sexsmith from the album Ron Sexsmith (1995)

In 1999, Rolling Stone Magazine contributor Kyle Bloom asked Ron Sexsmith for the meaning of life.

"The meaning of life is to experience and not to abstain. Religions have kind of messed everyone up because they operate on the business of fear. If you don't do this, you don't get in. We were this thing called free will. The meaning is free will and what you choose to (do) with it"

-Ron Sexsmith (Canadian singer-songwriter from Ontario)

and here's another version of the song by Leslie Feist

am i just wasting my time?

# 3 Thursday 21st May

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted"

-John Winston Lennon (one of the founding members of The Beatles. 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980)

And here's the song of the day:

Stay (Wasting Time) by Dave Matthews Band from the album Before These Crowded Streets (1998)

"Good music is good music, and everything else can go to hell"

-Dave Matthews (South African-American Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter)

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this everyday of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

-Jim Valvano (American Basketball Coach, Coach of North Carolina State University. 1946-1993)
