Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light which

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk on a Winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.

I love my iPod. My kids got it for me in September and it has really kept me entertained. I’ve noticed that what I listen to on the Nano has changed since I’ve moved to Cambridge. Before I moved I primarily listened to it in the car, now I listen to it on the subway. [...]

Ok, so this is sort of a blogging chain letter. It started with someone I don’t know and made it to Steph. See hers for the explanation. I tried it and she convinced me to post mine. Its sort of goofy, but it did make me smile too.
How does the world see me?

I had it all set. It had taken me a few blocks, but everything was balanced. My hat was on just right, holding my new cheap earphones in place. If I don’t have the hat on right, all I hear is treble, forget the bass. I guess I’ll have to get new headphones when it [...]
