friday night lights s05e08, "fracture"

i just cried TEARS OF JOY at who was behind that door

in "shall we dance?" the american version... is richard gere channeling john cusack or does john cusack always just do a very good impression of richard gere?

oops - john darnielle of mountain goats

some moments last forever
and some flare out with love love love

i can only hear this in john vanderslice's voice now:

for now we see as in a mirror dimly, then we will see him face to face.

friday night lights s05e07, "perfect record"

fink, "sort of revolution" is the last song: free here

We've come so far, it feels so real
All this time, that we've waited for it
And who we are, and where we're going to
All this time, preparing for it

mm come so far
mm come so far

So let me know when we get there, if we get there
Let me know when we get there, if we get there

In the dark it feels so real
And all this time, we've been sleeping on it
And who we are and what we're going through
All this time spent saving for it

mm come so far
mm come so far, yeah

So just let me know when we get there, if we get there
Let me know when we get there, if we get there

Come so far, there's no going back
All this time, we've been running from it
And where we are and where we're going to

We'll organise a sort of revolution
We'll organise a sort of revolution
We'll organise a sort revolution
We'll organise a sort of revolution

some days (most days) i am afraid that all i know what to do with unconditional love is take it for granted.

shall we dance? (2004) clip

"All these promises that we make and we break...why is it that you think people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. — Susan B. Anthony

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there you’ll be able to see farther.”

how come all the teenage dream covers hate on my favorite part, the bridge?

anyway, today was the day i caved.

(also, kitty purry. blergh.)

: thought experiment:
so, who's the most interesting person you know (not in a dos equis commercial)?

and, if it's someone you love... describe them in a way that'll help me love them too.

ps. bones s06e07 is the funniest in awhile

emotional maturity levels, a descriptive list from Peter Scazzaro

infants
look for others to take care of them
have great difficulty entering into the world of others
are driven by need for instant gratification
use others as objects to meet their needs

children
are content and happy as long as they receive what they want
unravel quickly from stress, disappointments, trials
interpret disagreements as personal offenses
are easily hurt
complain, withdraw, manipulate, take revenge, become sarcastic when they don’t get their way
have great difficulty calmly discussing their needs and wants in a mature, loving way

adolescents
tend to often be defensive
are threatened and alarmed by criticism
keep score of what they give so they can ask for something later in return
deal with conflict poorly, often blaming, appeasing, going to a third party, pouting, or ignoring the issue entirely
become preoccupied with themselves
have great difficulty truly listening to another person’s pain, disappointments, or needs
are critical and judgmental

adults
are able to ask for what they need, want or prefer- clearly, directly, honestly (respectfully)
recognize, manage, and take responsibility for their own thoughts and feelings
can, when under stress, state their own beliefs and values without becoming adversarial
respect others without having to change them
give people room to make mistakes and not be perfect
appreciate people for who they are- the good, bad, and ugly- not for what they give back
accurately assess their own limits, strengths, and weaknesses and are able to freely discuss them with others
are deeply in tune with their own emotional world and able to enter into the feelings, needs, and concerns of others without losing themselves
have the capacity to resolve conflicts maturely and negotiate solutions that consider the perspectives of others

You know that thing
That you say you sometimes dream of
Well I think it's happening to me
You know they say
That time will take a hold of you
Well
You kill the voice or it kills you

Oh no
You shouldn't really speak about it
Oh no
You shouldnt really speak about it

And you look thin
Well the drugs will make you thinner still
The sort of thing you'd never see
Look up and up and up and up above and up above now
And count your lucky stars

But oh no
You shouldnt really speak about it
You shouldnt really speak about it

You know that thing
That you say you sometimes dream of
Well I think it's happening to me
