    My Heart

    I think I've listened to this song 50 times already this morning.

    My Heart
    Paramore
    All We Know Is Falling

    I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
    That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

    Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

    Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
    We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

    I am nothing now and it's been so long
    Since I've heard A sound, the sound of my only hope

    This time I will be listening.

    Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
    We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    This heart, it beats, beats for only you

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart is yours

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart is yours
    (My heart, it beats for you)

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart, my heart is yours
    (It beats, beats for only you. My heart is your's)
    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart, my heart is yours
    (Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
    My heart is yours
    (Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
    My heart is yours
    My heart is yours
    (Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
    My heart is yours
    My heart is...
    yours
    my heart is yours...

  • Animal Lab

    So the first floor of the building I work in is for animal laboratories (they're trying to cure cancer and other diseases, so sorry if that offends you) and the lobby on the first floor always smells terribly overwhelming of animals, especially rodents, so try and imagine that smell.  It's not pretty.  I won't tell you what the smell reminds me of, because it's actually a finger food that you'd serve at wedding showers and things like that, but the smell here is much more intense and almost rancid.  There's a service elevator at the back of the building (the front lobby has 3 elevators) that takes forever, but I'd use that one any day rather than go in and out of the front lobby.  Sick.

  • Rodin

    You know what I think about most when I look at Rodin's "The Thinker"?  How uncomfortable he must have been.  He's sitting there, on a rock, naked, with his chin resting very uncomfortably on his hand which I'm sure would've fallen asleep very quickly in that position.  He's leaning so far forward on the rock that he had to have either been attached to it, or constantly employing his abdominal muscles to keep himself from falling forward.  Then, the rock that his feet are on is uneven and therefore severely uncomforable, and it seems as though he's trying to use his toes to help his abs keep him from falling off of his rock.  When you're thinking about something as hard as he apparently is supposed to seem, would you choose that pose or that perch?  I wouldn't.  Maybe he's punishing himself.  Maybe that rock/seat was really close to the edge of a cliff and he was trying to decide whether to stay or jump.  Maybe he was hiding from someone, and this rock was the only place he could find, and that would explain why he settled for its uncomfortable-ness.  Who knows.  Wikipedia says "It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle....The Thinker was originally meant to depict Dante in front of the Gates of Hell, pondering his great poem. (In the final sculpture, a miniature of the statue sits atop the gates, pondering the hellish fate of those beneath him.)"  I guess when you're thinking about such serious things, your posture doesn't matter.  It's a beautiful sculpture, either way.

    So about the reading, I should admit that a large part of the reason that I've started reading so much again is because my new apartment doesn't have cable.  I can usually find something to watch - it may be painfully mindnumbing, but lets be honest, has that ever stopped me?

    I'm all moved into my new apartment that I'm sharing with my sister and one of her previous roommates, who just happens to be one of my friends from school, so it's been nice.  It's been nice to have a pet, even if it is a cat - I'd rather it be a dog, but it's almost a sin to keep a dog in an apartment all day long.  Cats can entertain themselves, but dogs need space.  One day, I'll have a big yard somewhere in the world and have 2 dogs - a border collie and a golden retriever.  That's pretty much the only personal goal I have for myself right now.....

    Work is going well - as of tomorrow, I'm on my own.  Training is over and I will be held personally responsible for any and all errors made, which makes sense, but is still a little unnerving.  I finished up summer tutoring at my church yesterday.  Now I'll have to find something new to do with my time.

    This is random, but I came across a quotation by Francis Crick - part of the team that solved the 3-D structure of DNA back in 1953.  He said "We have discovered the secret of life."  Interesting, huh?  Not accurate, in my opinion.  What do you think?

  • Reading

    I'd forgotten how much I love to read.  I'm a much more imaginative, creative person when I'm reading a book than I am when I'm watching a movie.  I've come across so many books recently that I can't wait to read.  Who needs television when we've been equipped with such an invaluable source of creativity?  It's fascinating, really.
