Nostalgia @ MindSay



 

   
Earth Hour 2009
Things I did whilst enjoying Earth Hour:

- Knitted a few rows on the scarf I'm working on.

- Read a few chapters of a book I bought ages ago but never have time to pick up.

- Wrote a letter to a friend by candlelight and pretended I was in Colonial times where this was standard procedure.

- Realized how ridiculous it is to be nostalgic for something I've never experienced (you know, living in Colonial America) but continued to do it anyway.

- Played a quick game of 'Tissue' with my cat (I throw it up, he bats it around).

- Planned my 2 cooking lessons for this upcoming week (cookies with my reading group, Hawaiian Pizza with my writing boys).

- Decided to spend the hard-earned, not-really-there-to-spare $200 on an iPod in the next upcoming days.  I have the iPhone, and I am so NOT a tech person, but I use my phone...for phone purposes (SHOCK!).  I dial the digits and I send the occasional text; no pictures, no checking-of internet, no music.  If I could go back in time, I would not have let my father and the saleseman talk me into it because I DON'T USE IT.  So I need a music player.  I've made a solemn promise that if I do this, if I spend this money, I will use it to go on at least 2 long walks a week (3 when school lets out).  I like to listen to music when I work out, and this will afford me that opportunity.

*Earth Hour sorta turned into 'Earth 3 Hours' because I was so engrossed in stuff (especially the first 3) that I looked up and it was 11:45.  Oops.  Oh well; can't wait for next year's!
 
 
   
 

Songs that Stick#2
Songs that Stick #2.  This one has always been a reminder to me that other places are as real (if not more real) than trhis one.
 
THESE DREAMS

Save some light for me
figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
these dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak 'n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
 
 
 

   
"pain is only in your mind, you can control it"

upon nostalgia, ill sit here and contradict my over experienced warped wits and when i say this i mean blind-sided and bitch smacked in the face with an epiphany. as some may know or heard me say "pain is only in your mind, you can control it" which is true but, only until one finds something that makes them feel. to be brought of out the darkness or sub-conscience "numbness" of ones' life; then is when you turely feel many complex emotions that now ponder at mind and evidently we come out of the coma of an un realistic, un adventured, "normal" serene life and thus start our own awakening of what the real world and real life is truley unfolding about in our way.
 
 
   
 

Sometimes nostalgia isn't such a great thing.
Started back at K-Mart today. Remembered why I quit the first time. I hate that I need two jobs to survive...while living at my mom's! It's so lame! Anyway. I hate that place, and a year and a half away hasn't changed that one bit. Aside from it just being a shitty place to work, I got the worst sense of nostalgia. And lemme tell you. I didn't like it one bit. I'm where I was last year. But not in school. Living at home, slaving at K-Mart for minimum wage. Doesn't feel like progress to me. Ugh. I despise Corporate America, and that's all K-Mart represents to me. Low-class, dead-end people slaving away to make ends meet while being forced into these ridiculous boxes that Corporate Hell creates to keep these people in a place that keeps them [the big corporate people] comfortable and in plush leather office seats and Armani business suits. And I'm having to be one of those dead-end underlings. I hate it. It feels like selling out to me. Worse than pretending to tuck our shirts in at Jamba when the district managers come in, or buying non-slip shoes that I despise. And everytime I thanked a freakin' customer for shopping at K-Mart today, I felt like a bit of my soul just...shriveled up and disappeared. UGH. THIS is  why I want to keep drinking. THIS is what turns normal, sane, ambitious people into mindless freaks who can't function unless they've got a bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
