the civil wars. i found them two weeks ago. fell in love immediately with their free cd download (linked from their myspace) i saw them play in columbus tonight, they were amazing. there's something i love about people watching and i also love to see people appreciate music in their own way, that's one of the beautiful things about watching live music. well, enjoy.
life is crazy. and brief.
long enough to forget things you ought to remember but short enough to feel like your list of "to-do's" might far outweigh your lists of have dones at the end of it all.
three years ago, some friends and i were held up at gunpoint, it still is pretty colorful in my mind. who i've become has changed a lot since then. i like the change. i prefer it. i've learned to not procrastinate (except when it comes to things such as homework) living. i've been able to take secrets whispered in my ear, ideas from god and do them. do them without knowing how things will or won't turn out. just trusting.
it's funny how things that were so ordinary six or eight months ago are already slipping from my mind. it feels as though a beautiful reoccurring dream has stopped repeating itself in my mind. somethings bring back the liveliness of a life i once lived far away, but i wonder how much i'm forgetting.
my eyes are small but they have seen the beauty of enormous things
