Neural misfires from a northern brain

A sort of stream of consciousness of things I collect from t'interweb. Don't expect coherence or anything.

Garbage - I Hate Love; so far my favourite song from Not Your Kind Of People.

K’s Choice - Until I’m Fine

Another one from the sad, slow songs for today collection.

The Lumineers - Slow it Down

It’s a slow, sad music kind of day for me today. Figured I’d share it with you.

Wash the night from my bones / turn to face the day / feel a piece of my soul / gently drift away

I feel really lucky,“although I hate that word — ‘lucky. It cheapens a lot of hard work. Living in Brooklyn in an apartment without any heat and paying for dinner at the bodega with dimes — I don’t think I felt myself lucky back then. Doing plays for 50 bucks and trying to be true to myself as an “artist and turning down commercials where they wanted a leprechaun. Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn. So I won’t say I’m lucky.

The Path to wisdom does, in fact, begin with a single step.
Where people go wrong is in ignoring all the thousands of other steps that come after it. They make the single step of deciding to become one with the universe, and for some reason forget to take the next logical step of living for seventy years on a mountain and a daily bowl of rice and yak-butter tea that would give it any kind of meaning. While evidence says that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, they’re probably all on first steps.

—Terry Pratchett, Hogfather (via liquidnight)

I spy with my little eye
The sun shining brightly, clouds rolling by
The last days of winter now seem so far away
And everything is green where it used to be grey

Tell us a joke: Your life has meaning.
Tell us a secret: Your life has meaning.

“The Descriptive Camera works a lot like a regular camera—point it at subject and press the shutter button to capture the scene. However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene.”
