Mornings :]

The moment I wake UP...before I put on my MAKE UP...I say a little prayer for youuuu!

This was stuck in my head all week...which to me is a sign it needs to be painted! :D

(listen to it! ps, in other news, this song is added to the broadway musical "Promises, Promises. LOVE IT.)

Army by Ben Folds

just kidding! I lovvve my redneck past! ;)

And I'd Do it All Again

someone to love is bigger than your prides worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
Its terrifying, life, through the darkness
And Id do it all again
Corinne Bailey Rae's "I'd Do it All Again" music video is haunting, lovely, sad, nostalgic...and makes me remember why I loved her so much years ago. It's speculated this is about her husband who died of an overdose, but she hasn't confirmed that. So, for now, it's just a lovely tune to sigh to after a cold long day.

I want to be KATE!

ohhh, it's a Ben Folds day. :) but unfortunately, part of the picture is cut out. I'll redo this, I promise! ;)

Far, Far

Baby, I hate days like this

Is it really necessary
Every single day
Making me more ordinary
In every possible way

This ordinary mind is broken
You did it and you don't even know
Leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back cuz I'm ready for...

More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby I hate days like this

My latest kick has been singer Mika. how much do I love his new album?? so muchhhh! especially his video for "Rain." It makes me want to go camping...maybe when it's a little warmer :P

Fidelity

.....and THAT'S why I adore my mom!

My favorite mom-isms:

(After saying she dislikes armadillo shoes)
"Then again, the only taste I have is in my tongue...." (not true, this is coming from a classy woman!)

(About my yogurt face, featured below, through text message)
"What in gods name is the pink stuff in your bowl!"

I lovelovelove you mom, have a Happy Valentines Day and Happy Anniversary once again! :)

Merry Happy

It's so true! :)

A kiss may be grand....

I apologize for all these "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" references... maybe it's the holidays, maybe it's Marilyn, but I've been loving all versions of the song. Marilyn Monroe version? done
Moulin Rouge version? done and done
Beyonce version? Why not.
lovelovelove.

btw click on the italics above for videos! :)

Mean Reds

Holly- you know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul- the mean reds...you mean like the blues?
Holly- No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long. You're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul- Sure.
Holly- Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

RIP J.D. Salinger

this is so sad...Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorites and today, J.D. Salinger died at the age of 91. Here are some quotes that are quite brilliant in their wit-

It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 1

People never notice anything. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 3

All morons hate it when you call them a moron. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 6

If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 17

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 26

and one of my favorite quotes:
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22, spoken by the character Holden Caulfield

A Hipster Mouse

Jkm12someothernumbers was wondering if the mouse on the right in this photo is a "hipster".

According to my reliable source, urbandictionary.com, "Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively. Although "hipsterism" is really a state of mind,it is also often intertwined with distinct fashion sensibilities. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses. Both hipster men and women sport similar androgynous hair styles that include combinations of messy shag cuts and asymmetric side-swept bangs. Such styles are often associated with the work of creative stylists at urban salons, and are usually too "edgy" for the culturally-sheltered mainstream consumer. The "effortless cool" urban bohemian look of a hipster is exemplified in Urban Outfitters and American Apparel ads which cater towards the hipster demographic."
hopefully that clears things up jkm!I'm not promoting smoking with this picture! this is purely just to illustrate the portrait of some hipsters!




note: although this mouse is wearing a shirt of che, under no circumstance would I support che guevara.

P.S. a note to any hipsters reading this- I mean no disrespect to your kind at all with this post! I love you people and your skinny jeans and coffee shop lovingness! Hipsters are cooool. :)
