Sunday morning coffee with a side of overcast. The scratching of unmet goals, forced-aside desire. (How I wish I had more courage.)

"Angry Charlie" - Generationals, Con Law, LP, 2009.

I think at a certain point, the mind makes it impossible to keep up appearances.  The band has stretched too far. It breaks, and the self-discovery forces its way forward.

"Let's Make This Precious" - Dexy's Midnight Runners, Too-Rye-Ay (2002 rerelease)

Lu Xun, Wild Grass

When I am silent, I feel replete; as I open my mouth to speak, I am conscious of emptiness.

The past life has died. I exult over its death, because from this I know that it once existed. The dead life has decayed. I exult over its decay, because from this I know that it has not been empty.

From the clay of life abandoned on the ground grow no lofty trees, only wild grass.
