Day 165: Buck 65 ~ Wicked and Weird

"Will I still be at it when I’m 50 years old? I guarantee you that I will. There may not always be an audience, but that didn’t stop me in the beginning…"

Buck 65's latest release, "Twenty Odd Years" marks a significant amount of time to be in Canada's Hip Hop scene. Sadly, I didn't hear about this artist until last year, his twentieth year of recording. Regardless, I've come to appreciate his merit at this time, and, in the end, that's all that will ever matter!

It's Day 165...I had to feature Buck today ;-)

Day 164: Meaghan Smith ~ It Snowed

I look out my window on a foggy-white world. If I look close enough, I realize it's not fog, but small snowflakes falling on a late February ground. Really, spring is still a month away, but many people are still confused by this white world we're forced to be a part of still.

Why can't we all embrace the wintry weather, as this song does, all winter long rather than just in November and December? Can't the romance of it all last more than that magical month of its novelty?

I can only ever speak for myself and my opinion of the world. So, I'll tell you that this is great! I'll take freshly fallen snow over muddy ice and thirty below weather any day! Would I take it over growing puddles, sunny skies and dripping roofs? Hmmmm....well, I'm just as excited for spring as you are ;-) but if it's gonna be cold, it better be snowing!

Across The Universe: Carol Woods And Timothy T ~ Let It Be

I'm typeless...

I wish I could put into words the feelings I have right now. I wish that all of the words in the English language would be enough to express my gratitude for synchronicity. I wish I could explain it to you right now...

It's not the right time, though. I wouldn't do it justice at this moment. Another day, another time, I'll be able to explain it in a way that you will understand.

Unless, of course, you already understand.

If so, congratulations! If not...

when the student is ready, the teacher will appear

Maybe I'll be your teacher one day...

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

This song takes me back. I used to love Natalie Imbruglia. I would play her cd OVER and OVER and OVER...and this was always one of the favourite tunes...

The Sunshine Underground - Put You In Your Place

For all those Sunshine Underground fans out there, I will begin with an apology...I'm sorry I have nothing more to add to your extensive knowledge about this band other than the fact that I think this is a fabulous song!

Also, I have had them on my iPod for about six months now...and I finally made this my fav new running song...



Ah, the beat! You have to love the beat...

"I'm on top, and you're trying to stop me now/ I'm on top and you're trying to stop me now..." filled me ears as I stared at the speed of the treadmill. It kept me going. I kept going. Faster. Faster. More and more mountains overcome. More and more plateaus pushed through.

I am in love with this song...almost as much as I've fallen in love with running...but my ears won't be stiff tomorrow ;-)

Nelly Furtado - I'm Like A Bird

I know I've been very positive lately about staying in one place, remaining focused and dedicated to the path I want to be on right now, and continue to "stay the course," "trust the universe," and view any distractions as tests to my character rather than the "big opportunity"... but I still just wanna fly away somedays...

Dishwalla ~ Counting Blue Cars

This evening, I commiserated with a colleague on the abundant discussion surrounding spirituality.  "So many people have brought up religion to me lately," she commented.  I agreed with the sentiment, but expanded it to include the whole winter.

Like most theological discussions, the one that ensued answered fewer questions than it raised.  That, in my opinion, is the purpose of life: to continue to be more curious than you are certain.  When I meet God, if I haven't already, I'll be sure to ask Her about it...
