I Wish....

My new song obsession...
is off of Eisley's new album "The Valley"
The song is "I Wish".
I have been listening to it non stop for the last 3 days.
Its very melodic and soft at first
then it sucks you in with this catchy beat
I have found myself singing it while doing things that don't require my full attention.
I think the first 3 lines in the first verse is kind of reminds me of how I feel at the moment.

"I walked into this life a lover

And I was carrying

A deep hope for you

I lit up like a fire

I watched you from afar

A blazing burning star

I came alive

A design

The tree of life... Is what you are"

I just love the lyrics, they paint this beautiful picture in my head of a first love.
Eisley has seemed to capture it in a melody.
Experiencing it for the first time with untainted eyes
completely awkward and unsure of how to act on your feelings...

Here are the rest of the lyrics:
(PS There are no official lyrics so I had to type this up myself, so it may not be completely accurate)

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this way

You say,you take the pain away

You say, you take away the pain

So tell me it,

Do you feel this,

Cause your not sure what’s required

And do you hear this

Your not expected to be forthright

Your so profound

But your not found

And If I could Id just claim you

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaaay

You say, you take the pain away

You say , you take away the pain

Ooooooohhhh oooo

I came alive

Oooooooooohhhh oooo

A new design

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaaay

You say Oh baby start again

You say, you take the pain away

You say , you take away the pain

Anyway, I think I have gone on about this enough... So next topic.
I have been inspired latey to paint on canvas,
something I normally don't do because I suck when it comes to painting.
That being said, the only way to improve is to practice.
So I have rolled up my sleeves and picked up my paints and canvas
and I am attempting it.

Thus far my attempts look like that of a high school freshman... Kind of sad, but I still like them.
I might post some pics...
I might not... Lets see how I feel at the end of this post.
In my head I want to pick up a brush and bust out a piece like Audrey Kawaskai,
but I know that is improbable.
I'm just going to keep at it.
Hopefully I will see some improvement in the next few months...
Ok, ok here are pics of the paintings..

*Side Note* I still haven't gotten my hair cut and I am starting to really need it....

*Side Side Note* While writing up this post, I have listened to "I wish" about 30 times.

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die, It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive...

So this week I got to talking to a friend about Big Bang Theory, one of my favorite shows, we ended up discussing the relationship between Penny and Leonard.

He claimed that a relationship between the two is unfeasible because Leonard is only attracted to Penny's good looks, and basically that their relationship has an expiration date, as does Penny's Beauty.

I do not agree... but it got me to thinking... as per usual...

In our society, we base our opinions of people by the way they look.

You start with their eyes, then you move other features of their face and you continue with the way they carry themselves. If they are talking with someone, you see how they move their lips when they talk, only when you find these things appealing do you maybe even attempt in a conversation with them.

I mean I don't look around a room and look for the person with a scowl on their face to start up a convo.

(usually because that's me...)

So yes, I will say that the thing that draws someone to someone else initially is their physical appearance, but once you get pass all of that it's the person that makes you stay or walk.

I believe that in a relationship between two people, where one person lacks the other person tends to pick up the slack. For example:

The woman is loud and the life of the party whereas the guy is quiet and keeps to himself.

Another example: The woman hates to cook and the guy loves to cook.

There has to be a balance between the two in order for it work, at the same time you need to have some common ground, like a love for obscure 1960 films.

So in the Case of Penny and Leonard where they may not have a lot of common ground, they do complement each other.

Penny is loud and isn't afraid to give you her opinion

Leonard is timid and has a hard time telling people off.

Penny is kind and cares about others.

Leonard is kind, but he tends to be a little more reluctant to help

(usually ends up being guilted into helping)

In conclusion... I think they should be together and it can in fact work and last.

The sun is shining somewhere

*Side note* Have you seen the key to my Heart? If you do let me know...

Wanderlust comes creeping up...

I want to go somewhere... Anywhere.

Take a long drive or maybe a weekend trip...

I want to escape for a little while.

I think escape is the wrong word... Vacate is better.

Vacate reality and insert myself into another world.

I miss traveling...

What inspired this wanderlust you ask?

My boss was looking up flights today and I became incredibly jealous.

I want to hop on a flight to somewhere warm... I miss the sun.

These hardcore winter months have left me wanting.

I have to get out of here.. but I can't, I'm trapped by my wallet.

So for now I have to just travel in my mind...

*Side Note* I tried the most Amazing beer the other night, any one who knows me, knows that I am not a fan of beer... but Fruli's Strawberry Beer now owns my heart..

In my dreams began to creep.. That old familiar Tweet, tweet, tweet....

So I have become obsessed with the notion of getting a bird...

I have never had a bird before,

I remember one point in my childhood wanting a parrot and

my mother said something along the lines of... "No way in hell"

and with the notion of getting a bird has come the notion of getting a cage.

(how many more times can I say "notion", my goodness!)

I found the exact kind of cage I would want on ebay...

Something like this is perfect.

Vintage and that metal lace pattern along the top is beautiful.

But I feel like I could make a bird cage...

So its got in my head that I am going to make a bird cage...

I feel like somehow this will end up with me buying the cage on ebay because the one I made is crooked and unappealing... only one way to find out right.... ^_^

*Side note* I want a Parakeet... I didn't mention that...
