It's totally OK to watch Glee

I wrote this entry's title simply due to the fact that I learned about this song "The Only Exception" by Paramour. 

There is a moment in this episode of Glee when the lead girl starts to sing this song... chills.  It is one of those moments where everything just stops; the world is muted; you have complete tunnel vision and are totally fixated. 

Simply powerful.



Go out and love someone.

Be well. Be good.

Motivational Quote meet Art; Art meet....









Thought these were great.  Roughly half of the quotes are really famous that most people should recognize, but the pairing with the street art really makes these something special.  A whole bunch more can be found on the Senioritis blog.  And yes, my last post from Cervantes was from this site...

Be well; be good.

What I'm listening to...

With my nose in a book, I have to listen to something to block out the constant stream of noise in and around my apartment.  If it's not my roommate watching TV or the European neighbors blasting techno music, then an emergency vehicle invariably passes.  All distractions from my task at hand.



Having depleted the 400+GB of music on my drive, I decided to go though the list again and came upon some old Carly Simon.  What originally interested me in this music is the film Love Actually, whereby there is a scene where a couple falling out of love exchange gifts.  The woman in this relationship claims that Carly Simon allowed her to feel emotions. 

Fingers crossed that it works for me too.  Not really sure what the cure is for the Tin Man and the Scarecrow.  Regarldess, I've already fallen in love with the music.  Seeing the album covers makes me want to get the vinyl version and travel back in time to meet a 20-something Carly.






Here's to a great night of music.

Be well.  Do good.
