So you ask for my opinion

Well what is there to say
To be honest and just foolish
Won’t make you wanna stay
You’ve got to go on and get moving
I can’t do that for you
Got so many plans and so much you want to do

Love it tough, time is rough

Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me

Well I see you’ve got your bible
Your delusion imagery
Well I don’t need your eternity
Or your meaning to feel free
I just live because I love to
And that’s enough you see
So don’t come preach about morality
That’s just human sense to me

Love is tough, time is rough
Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me
On me

And it’s one life and it’s this life
And it’s beautiful
And it’s beautiful

Love is tough, time is rough
Whoaaaa on me

nicky kidman

Sometimes at work, I make up stories about Nicole Kidman.

i just spent 25 minutes on this gem.

THIS JUST IN:

NICOLE KIDMAN ACCEPTS STARRING ROLE AS "GOAT" IN A NEW PRODUCTION OF THE FAMED GOODMAN THEATRE FAUX PAS, YET SOMEHOW CLASSIC TALE:

"THE GOAT"

THE STORY FOLLOWS THE STORY OF ONE MAN WHO FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIS GOAT, AND THE REST IS HISTORY. RUMORS RUSTLE THAT CHARLIE SHEEN WILL CO-STAR AS "THE MAN." SHEEN WAS NOT ASKED TO COMMENT.

paradox.

So, I'm thinking about that quote from John Lennon. You know the one. "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." And, I've got to throw this stick in the mud out there, but let's be honest, he couldn't possibly have been the first person to coin this. There's no way that he just stumbled upon a profound reality. Every time has a first time, if life is indeed linear, but John Lennon, really? Humanity has been around for a while now, and I'd say this is a truth that's always been as such. Perhaps he got the verbage just right though before anyone else?

In any case, lately the notion of why we exist has been on my plate. Yes, I realize, it's a no big deal existential crisis. NBDEC. Thanks a bunch, Holy Week. (It's Holy Week right now, for those of you that aren't burdened with religion — the week leading up to the inevitable crucifixion of Jesus Christ.)

Perhaps it's the fact that I'm an awful Catholic, by way probably an awful person, because I just don't care. It's not that I don't care about people or things or getting what I want, I do, I just don't know why I should. I just know that I do.

The thing is, when I think about these things, there's never a point where I just say, "Oh, alright." The lights turn on and everything is dandy. When I think about these things I find myself alone, feeling broken, and not knowing where to go from here. Can you tell me, why are we here?

Chalk it up to whatever you want, but at this point it all seems meaningless, yet full of so much weight. I think paradox should have been the first word given definition.

Friday Night Lights

i had this in my draft box for a long while now. i've been doing some spring cleaning, so i figured that the internet and its endless spots to tuck little bits of me was a good place to start digging out, dusting off and maybe deleting.

but this post title made me laugh, because it makes me think of lip quivering. that's mostly thanks to stephanie cook, coach of the latest batch of incubator teams at the playground.
