Rambling Man.

I promise I will hold off on the songs for awhile, but you need to hear this song first….

Oh, naïve little me

asking what things you have seen

you’re vulnerable in your head

you’ll scream and you’ll wail till you’re dead.

Creatures veiled by night

following things that aren’t right

and they’re tired and they need to be led

or you’ll scream and you’ll wail till you’re dead.

But give me to a rambling man

let it always be known that I was who I am.

Beaten, battered and cold

my children will live just to grow old

but if I sit here and weep

i’ll be blown over by the slightest of breeze.

And the weak need to be led

and the tender I’ll carry to their bed

and it’s a pale and cold affair

i’ll be damned if I’ll be found there.

But give me to a rambling man

let it always be known that I was who I am.

It’s funny how the first chords you come to

are the minor notes that come to serenade you

it’s hard to accept yourself as someone

you don’t desire as someone you don’t want to be.

Oh, give me to a rambling man

Let it always be known that I was who I am.

Beautiful.

Why do we close our eyes when we pray?

When we cry?

When we dream? Or when we kiss?

Because we know that the most beautiful

things in life are not seen,

but felt by the heart.

I just love this picture and these last two sayings I posted. Recently, I found all three and they have been posted on my bulletin board above my desk. This picture is one of my new favorites because it is so different. I love history and looking at old pictures, but this one is different from the rest. Rather than looking stoic and miserable, you can see the love between the mother and her daughter. I don't know...I just love it.

COZY.

Some things that make me happiest are when I can hangout with my friends on a Friday night just watching movies and sitting in big baggy sweaters. What joy. :) Also, earlier today I went on a walk with one of my friends and had the swellest little chat. Fall is just a cozy time of year. When there is a chill in the air and the trees are changing, it is the perfect time to get cozy.

I have realized that I love political science. Weird, I know, but it's true. I am in a government class and it is one class I look forward to most. My professor is grand, which may have a large impact on that. She has us coming each day to class with news stories that we discuss together. Because of that, I started picking up the paper at school. Who knew that reading the paper was so much fun? Ha. Anyways, that is something I discovered I loved.

One more thing I love: Bon Iver. I recently just bought his new album and so all I have been listening to recently is Bon Iver, all three albums I have of his. He's grand, simply grand. How can one man have so much talent? It's beyond me...

One more bit of randomness...I am making a photo collage for my room using all black and white photos. It's going to look so sweet. One of the pictures I am going to put up is above.

Good night and sweet dreams.
