Take Your Love With Me
http://sophiemadeleine.bandcamp.com/
I could navigate the ocean in a homemade boat
and fly across the desert on a ten pound note.
I could do most anything if everywhere I go
I could take your love with me.
I could tame the wildest animals with just one stare.
I'd even take my chances with a polar bear.
I could be in mortal danger but I wouldn't care
If I could take your love with me.
And so you made me a promise
that you would always be around.
and you would stay true and honest
because I need you in my pocket,
in my heart and in my head,
so I just had to find a way to take you everywhere I went.
and so you bought a ukulele with a message inside
that I should always have it with me never leave it behind
And now everywhere I play it I will keep you in mind
so I can take your love with me.
And I can take your love with me
I could navigate the ocean in a homemade boat
and fly across the desert on a ten pound note.
I could do most anything if everywhere I go
I could take your love with me.

And I can take your love with me
awareness
being awake enough to work is one thing.
being awake enough to present your work is another.

convo for the day...
"isn't it funny how 'late to school' and 'bad hair day' are inter-dependent?" S.U.
"with a correlational study we cannot prove causation. this is most definitely cause and effect." T.R.
oh how i love my smart friends.

Medieval depression
My life is sort of a contradiction
I want to live simply, yet I'm blogging.
I want to live humbly, yet I'm dying to make money.
I want to live in the city, yet I hate crowds.
I needed a catalyst though.
I'm gonna get down to business, gonna wash all the crap away.
Man this life has taken too much living out of me.
I want to change my pace, and find a place where I can breathe.
I've been trying make it big? why? Money?
I want to change my pace, and find a place where I can breathe.
I've been trying make it big? why? Money?
I should be trying to lead a gracious life.
I'm taking another road.
I wanna find myself some soul.
But still, I'll do my best in everything.
The sad truth however is that I can't do any of this.
Does anyone know how to?
expectations...
i promise there will be more posts from now on...
i got rid of fbook again...
i have a feeling this blog will become "the adventures of a beard"

Is it your hair
that worships this face?
Swirls and vines its way,
shielding a frame to this place.
Is it your eyes
that warms this embrace?
Connects and holds,
two masses in one place.
Is it your smile
that intoxicates this space?
Blossoms and plumes,
emotion all over this place.
Is it your love
that has made this rhyme?
Breathing life into words,
from your spirit to mine.

long gaps
I apologize (to the nothing that reads this) for having not posted for such a long time. There is so much to reflect on.
I have returned to the City, where life itself is towed aft of the events that keep the City alive. It is my first time in the City during the summer. I have been lucky enough as to never need summer school. This summer however I am living and working in a new City, the same City, but this time the City is wearing Summer Clothes. There is a new fresh sense of place in the City now, a sort of more extreme passion. The passion for pride. Pride in townies "property" and pride in townies "toursitability." Fortunately I am neither a visitor nor a resident. Sudo temporary live in nanny. I like it anyway.
Working in big business is a whole different world. I would like to think that I am working for THE big business. THE big brother of sorts. I have the opportunities of a lifetime here, my future may very well start now. But, there are always options... With graduate school coming up I am thinking about how everything may work out. Free school, work in my field, do something crazy, there are just too many options.
I suppose this is what life is about. The more you are exposed to the more there IS to BE exposed to. When you are a child your world is in this one room. As you grow your world expands to your street, in elementary school - your town, in high school - your state, in the university - THE WORLD.
This expanding breadth of exposure goes right along with knowledge. The more you KNOW the more you have the CAPACITY TO know. It is not a linear arrow of concentricity of knowledge, but a growing sponge of knowledge that the wetter it gets the larger it gets, and the more absorbent it is. As the human race reveal information, the information itself only tantalizes us by hinting towards even more information that is just around the river bend. In essence, the more you know, the less (in relativity) you actually know. It is all a cat and dog AND mouse side-show effectively and exponentially turning knowledge into lack of knowledge. This is life though, and it is just too much for us to handle. This is why the human race relies so heavily on FAITH.
Faith is the only concrete idea we have. It is built off the constructive ignorance to chaos. We acknowledge that there is a chaotic world and we accept it. We know that our steadfast faith will show order in contrast to the chaos. If we seek order not within this universal faith, we’ll procure a more chaotic chaos thereto. The terms ignorance, acceptance and acknowledgement probably have harsh, negative connotations that infer not what I am trying to. They are the closest in meaning in so far as to hint towards an order of truth behind the function of a universal faith. But what if we look at this universal faith as something more perturbing to the faithful? Is universal faith nothing more than the belief in the system of order that is chaos? If this is true then we must not have knowledge of life, all we have is a welcoming of life. A “que sera sera” of faith.

Met with the associate dean of the school I will be attending to get my Masters of Arch. today. Boy do I have some work to do... despite all the bustle of people being dumb and all the hustle of driving an hour to an active, yet abandoned, campus, I feel a little weary about this new venture. More architecture? really? didn't I get enough torture already? All I can hope is that it's not as bad as the last place's uncontrollable chaos they called administration. I do however look forward to being close to the ocean again... Oh the salt and mist, the brisk cold breeze, maybe I can get a job in the town nearby and save up some money for an apartment... ah nevermind my fantasies... I need to move on and move on I shall... maybe I'll read a book...
School is what you make of it anyway.

So today is the day that begins the future. Oh how horrid that sounds to be saying goodbye to all that is known here, and forcing myself welcome on a ruthlessly stoic world. Sadly saying goodbye to friends will be easy, saying goodbye to this place, the city, will be daunting. There is some connection I have had here that I have never had with a person, the reliance, the understanding, even the undignified slop that is both MY room, and MY city. Peace is the contrast to the bustle of downtown, Emptiness is the contrast to popularity, SIMPLICITY is the balance to which a complex world (or city, or person) leans towards. I can thank the city for everything I have had, and for everything I have lost. I will not miss it, I will actively long for it.
