and Townies...

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean

The unborn grass lies waiting

for its coat to turn to green

- I know its incredibly cliche to put song lyrics on these things, but I'm just amazed at how lyrics, like very few things, can inspire and entrap me. Even songs that mean overall nothing can capture me with a line or two of musical imagry that, as strange as it sounds, can make me happy to be alive and bring the reality of my existence into immediate sight. They speak to a part of me that I keep all to myself and the bare all feeling it elicits is a unique kind of freedom.

- Whatever. I've gotta be on crack. Either that or I'm studying to much. It's like Hattie told me today, I should know better than to think I have time for fun. Specially when that time I got behind for involved CSU getting spanked by UNLV in a way they must have been saving for this special occasion. I'm gonna take a big long break after this wave of tests next week. I've earned it.
