Walden

(Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed)

Walden by Henry David Thoreau

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,

to front only the essential facts of life,

and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not,

when I came to die,

discover that I had not lived.

I did not wish to live what was not life,

living is so dear;

nor did I wish to practise resignation,

unless it was quite necessary.

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,

to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life,

to cut a broad swath and shave close,

to drive life into a corner,

and reduce it to its lowest terms.

Peace :D

Mixtape #1: Drive All Night

Imagine the following situation:

You are in your car.

You drive along a highway at night.

So it's dark.

You know that you actually would have to leave the highway in a few minutes to get home.

But you don't want to get home - you want to see the world.

The only thing you want in this particular situation is to drive further, to drive all night ...

Sunbeams

(Paolo Nutini - Autumn (Live & Acoustic Version))

Autumn leaves have fated now.

That smile I lost, well, I found somehow.

Just came across some pictures I took during the autumn holidays in Mallorca. They are quite the opposite of the pictures I posted earlier today. 

Peace :D

Snowflakes

(The Weepies - World Spins Madly On: another wonderful song from the 'Because I Said So'-Soundtrack)

I woke up and wished that I was dead,

with an aching in my head, I lay motionless in bed.

I thought of you and where you'd gone,

but the world spins madly on.

If you believe the weather forecast, it'll probably get warmer the next days. You know what that means: the beautiful white snow will turn into awful slush =(

But to remember the past few weeks with the winter wonderland, here are some pictures i took of the white paradise when I was on a walk with my mom and my brother:

Peace :D

My Momma Told Me ...

(Van Morrison - Days Like This)

... that I shouldn't wear Converse Chucks in winter. But I still did today and it felt great. Well ... I think it was just because I only walked from the house to my car and from my car to another house, which I left some hours later ... but I only had to walk to the car again and ... I guess you know how this story continues. To sum it all up: If I had to walk through the forest or even the town (which is full of snow as well) I guess I would have had to make a veeeeeery long foot bath after all. Another reason for this foolish, childish act (not as if there hadn't been one winter without wearing chucks at least once!) is that I still only have ONE good looking pair of winter shoes and another one which is more kind of a 'i wear you only if it's really necessary to keep my feet dry and warm'-pair of shoes. I think this is the BEST opportunity to use the sale-offers which are everywhere at the moment. Mmhh ... okay, I think I digress.

What I actually wanted to say is, that most of the time (doesn't matter if we want it or not) parents (especially mothers!) are right if they give us millions of pieces of advices we don't even want. But there is hope ... I have heard of cases, when parents were wrong, when they didn't know what's best for their child and can be happy, that children sometimes can also think for their own.

How this absurd idea went to my head?

I've watched this really, really, really great movie 'Because I Said So' nearly twice in 24 hours. Although I saw it about 3 or 4 times on dvd I still had to watch it, when it came on tv yesterday ... and today again ;D

Everytime I see it, it makes me want to cook - strangely xD

If you've already seen the movie, you should know what I'm talking about - and if not, you should watch it!

I can only repeat myself: this movie is just funny and cute and awesome and did I mention funny? I guess the best way to watch it is with a delicious bottle of wine and - of course - your mom :D

Besides the soundtrack is also just amazing. I think some of the songs will be in following posts.

Oh, and yeah ... I love Mandy Moore in this role!

Peace :D
