In The Mood

Slow Songs

Chow Mo-Wan: In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share, do you know what they did? They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And left the secret there forever.

Midnight Musing

"Truth is, everybody's going to hurt you. You just gotta find the one worth suffering for." - Bob Marley

Can't fall asleep and hating it. It's seriously one of the things that makes me so inexplicably angry, probably because I'm the only person I know that can fall asleep just about anywhere and at anytime. No joke. So when I'm actively trying to fall asleep and can't...well, you get my point. So here I am in the dark, sprawled on my bed, listening to a few things on rotation. Telepopmusik, Animal Collective, Bob Marley, Tennis, Menomena, and Talib Kweli's new album Gutter Rainbows, which is just plain delicious. All things considered, it's a good compilation of music to listen to when your mind can't sit still even though your body wants to. I guess this is as good a time as any to share this Bob Marley quote I found earlier and have been absentmindedly mulling over in my head. Maybe this is why I can't fall asleep?

Revolutionary

April Wheeler: "Tell me the truth, Frank, remember that? We used to live by it. And you know what's so good about the truth? Everyone knows what it is however long they've lived without it. No one forgets the truth, Frank, they just get better at lying."
