A sure sign that Spring is here!

This, and the smell of BBQ coming in my open patio doors!

This Bitter Earth / On The Nature Of Daylight (Dinah Washington & Max Richter)

A haunting melody, paired with these thoughtful lyrics...it really is a mesmerizing piece for me.

A Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Langston Hughes

Hm.

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.

~Friedrich Nietzsche~

Happy National Cook a Sweet Potato Day and National Margarita Day!!!

Olympic Flame

One thing I love is that the 2010 Olympics has given Calgary a reason to relight the Olympic flame here in Calgary, atop our tower, making it still the World's Largest Olympic Torch. :)

Run - Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

We Are More by Shane Koyczan

I ke kā, I ka hoe...i ke kā, Pae aku I ka ‘āina!

"We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all."

~Eleanor Roosevelt~

I care, do you? Please just tell me...
