hey world, i've decided to share my joy with you!

i've finished one essay. just one. but it's like 4 pages long in arial size 12. quite long, i'll say. i'm not one for many redundant words. let me give you a quote about poetry adapted from Sylvia Plath.

"It is a moment of contact, of impact, 'a closed fist' to use her own image, compared to the 'open hand' of the novel. And while that open hand can bring in all kinds of details, the closed fist 'excludes and stuns'."

the 2009 Mercury Prize winner. lots of bands nominated that i know of this year. but none of them won. including Florence and the Machine, La Roux, Glasvegas, Bat for Lashes (ugh), and Lisa Hannigan.

and here is...SPEECH DEBELLE with Spinnin'. love her lisp.




share something else with you guys.
you might find this meaningful, you might not.

it's for us to get off our lazy butts and do something for the world.

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
