Yes Taylor Hawkins died. Keep an eye out, he is with you now. Wherever the fuck that is. Maybe you guys can make some fun music together. Chill. Rest. Whatever. Or just. Come back?

Living Proof, War On Drugs

Banging on a drum
You turn me lose
Maybe I’m the living proof
What have I been runnin’ from?

I went down to the corner
They’re building at my block
Maybe I’ve been gone too long
I can’t go back
Oh, lonesome
I will protect
I’ll keep improving
Taking me home
I’m always changing
Now I suppose
I’m only moving
I’m in Chicago
Come to me now
I know the path
I know it’s changing
I know the pain
The pain you’ve been feeling
I’ve been to the place
That you’ve tried escaping
I can’t recall
What I believe in
I’m always changing
Love overflowing

But I’m rising
And I’m damaged
Oh, rising
Ooh

Free lemons, rich aroma of rose and star jasmine, high tide down the shoreline steps and a sunrainbow.

It’s always nice here. Some pics from the past few days of being out n about with one of my original people.

Get rid of the clocks

The calendars, too

Turn off your phone

And listen to you

​

All the things from your past

That dwell in your head

The future seems bleak

And something to dread

​

But now, in this moment

Just take a deep breath

And look all around

And see the great gift

​

Of this beautiful earth

And all it provides

Feel the love all around

And take it inside

​

Each breath that you take

Can serve to remind

We are all truly one

Eternal, alive

​

Be here now and listen

To the sound of forever

Keep reminding yourself

Make every moment matter

I get mine from a 12 pound Russian. He’s not exactly my “type” but given the fucked up circumstances of the twisty turny road that is my life, I will take the biting, two-year old with whom I share my space but it’s not what I had in mind.

He’s the only cat I’ve had who thinks I’m the best play thing in the house. Sure he has toys. Yes I play with him multiple times daily. It’s never enough. He wants more than I have to give including skin.

Recently he injured himself on an outside jaunt. Ten stitches, a good sized vet bill and a couple weeks got him back to normal. But my window screens will never be the same. I’ll replace them whenever we move on from here.

He’s back to his astroturf life of indoor outdoor fun. Fun for him, that is. I can’t help but wonder what will he get himself into next but for now, all is fair in catland.

I don’t speak French but this song is beautiful. I felt it tug at tears but I refuse to cry today.

Another new one to me. ABTG (Anything But The Girl) always makes my ears perk up.

I’m sure the next track from Eclectic 24 will make the cut but I’ll leave something for another day.
