lists of listening

Well the boys have to compile a list of their top ten albums of last year...figured Id give it a go..
1.Alice in Chains-black gives way to blue
2.drew nelson-dusty road to beulah land
3.Pearl jam-backspacer
4.paloma faith-do you want the truth or something beautiful
5.seasick steve-i started out with nothing........

see,Im kinda stuck now,so much of the stuff I like is old!

Earlier,I posted on twitter that the price we pay for being IN the centre of a family is having to BE the centre of a family,to hold everyone together no matter what,and to hold fast.The centre cant crack,because the family will suffer,and the pressure is hard.Sometimes,as I said,it is lonely in the middle,but the reward of being in the centre of a family who love and are loved in return is worth everything. :) And if all it costs is to hold on and keep everyone together,then Ill hang on forever. :)They are worth it.

drugs and deliberation

Because it sounds better than 'mad ramblings of sleep deprived woman with decongestant'
We are all connected,every day,to the ones we love.They never really leave you,either by death or distance,that which you shared with them is always real.So many diferent connections,like invisible webs,spreading out accross the world,anchored to a moment,a thought or an event,or simply to blood or family of another kind.They find their way to the other person,and anchor again there. Sometimes the lines are restrictive,tight and thick as steel- a bond that feels heavy and stifling,yet others are little more than gossimer,connecting through time and space to when the world was both bigger and smaller,and our place in it was childhood certain.So many ways to love and be loved,and even those wires which appear broken can somehow tug all to effectively with a single atom,sending lightening down the connection and bringing the memory home.There are those I love,those I remember fondly,and some connections which are not love or even persistant habit,but merely a quirk of something larger than me.Its all pretty impressive. And very fuckin awesome.Now Im off to pass out and wait for the drugs to work..

revised resolutions

...Cos if youre going to be unrealistic,go the whole hog...
This year I will also: Discover more music-I work in HMV for gods sake,it shouldnt be that hard!
Additionally,Play more Bass...cos I can ;)
and lastly,Be more bloody grateful for what,and who I have,cos in all honesty,my 'family' both blood and chosen,are pretty fuckin awesome.
Heres to a great new year for everyone :) May it bring you love,excitement and change,because nothing stands still,and it would be pretty fuckin boring if it did!
