lyrics of the moment
driving sideways
aimee mann - bachelor no. 2 (or the last remains of the dodo)
at least you know
you were taken by a pro
i know just how you feel
she talked a perfect game
deflecting all the blame
you took the jack
and changed the flat
and got behind the wheel—
now you're
driving sideways
taken in by the scenery
as you're propelled along
and your companion
will not help you to navigate
for fear she may be wrong
and you will say
that you're making headway
and put it in overdrive
but you're mistaking speed
for getting what you need
and never even noticing
you never do arrive
'cause you're
driving sideways
if you roll down the window
you'll see
you're where you don't belong
and your companion
will not help you to navigate
for fear she may be wrong
and you're powered by
the hopeful lie
that it's just around the bend
and when this, by default
comes screeching to a hal
let's hope that you know what to do
to start it up again
driving sideways
hitting scan on the radio
so she can sing along
and she'll sit
thinking you're going to handle it
until she's proven wrong
until she's proven wrong
until you prove her wrong

are you there, god?
i got this article from someone on the peugeot e-mail list. it's amazing the lengths to which people will go for a sense of belonging. i mean... marrying your miata?! it seems a far cry from religion, but it's not so different after all. as we become more deeply entrenched in our scientifically-minded world, these kinds of situations begin to crop up. people have needed to believe something since they started drawing on the cavern walls and if they can't find it in science or religion, they'll find it somewhere else. science may make a whole lot more sense, but it doesn't offer much comfort to many people. we talk about it in my anthropology class, human past, and my wine & spirits class (you'd be surprised how much the subject of religion comes up when you're talking about booze). everything from "creation science" to dyonisian revels and it all comes back to the same subject. we're trying to kill god, but then what?
now i am not one to be promoting religion. it has been a long time since i found comfort in the idea that there was some deity that created the world to be just like this. but i definitely think there is something to be said for the notion that we still need religion. science is cold comfort when you are pondering the whys and not the hows of the world.

quote of the moment
"i feel as tired as a dream that wants to die..."
- paul simon
stop this world, i wanna get off
i really think i'm losing my mind.
i know, i've said that before, but i mean it. why can't i be happy? all of a sudden, i can't sleep tonight and i just want the hurt to stop. i don't know where it came from, but i wish it would go away.
night terrors
i don't know who to talk to
i don't know where to turn
i was fine an hour ago
but now my heart just burns
with yesterdays unfinished
and tomorrows unbegun
i was fine an hour ago
where did that peace flee?
my life is more than misery
but joys i now can't see
my heart shrinks inside me
losing the happiness i've won
i was fine an hour ago
life was moving just grand
now my soul is cringing
i just don't understand
unhappiness i've known and fought
but the battle is never done
i was fine an hour ago
now i don't want to go on
oblivion beckons to me
i wish this pain were gone
unhappiness i've known and fought
but the battle is never done
