there's a fine line

between stalking and doing your research.

I like to think I'm doing my research, but realistically...

let go

sometimes it takes quite some time to realize that you haven't just let.it.go.

Red hot chili peppers - Under the bridge Live acoustic

I remember telling my brother that I wanted to buy this album when this song came out and he told me that it wasn't really representative of RHCP's music.

He was right.

I think he and his wife used to give their leftovers to a dude who lived under a bridge.

Reheard the song recently and it resonated with me quite differently than when I was 11 or so when it was released.

The good news and the bad news

The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute.
The good news is there is no ground.

i'm told skills develop in situations that are less than ideal.

i'm also told that the word "skill" comes from the germanic language and means "the ability to separate things."
sometimes compartmentalization is not a bad thing.
