Off Kilter

This post is an odd one but I got on the subject of eyes. Every girl I've ever been remotely interested in has had killer eyes. The kind of eyes that one look from her is like a punch in the stomach. So I came to the argument, who has the best eyes out there, speaking of famous people.

So it came down to these two - Natalie Imbruglia and Sinead O'Connor

I have to go with Nat...but I am afraid I may have been influenced by the "overall image" category.

Former Glory

"But it's at the ending of the story that all your former glory is pushed back into the light, to light up the darkest night and the blackest sky...

And now the days they blur together, after all they're all the same. But you're still trying to make sense of the names. There's only seven to remember, but you're struggling with three, and the weight of the world has brought you to your knees...

Someday you'll watch the second hand like a hawk, hanging on to everything you've got. Your hairs white and blowing in the wind on your porch. Would you do it all again?"

- The Hoodies

As I face big changes ahead I reflect on these words. Am I content to just pass the time, day in and day out? Watching those around me entrench themselves in their lives, or am I going to break free of this monotony and do something? I feel like the observer here, in Kansas City. Invited to observe everyone elses lives...invited to everyone elses weddings, birthdays, family functions, house warmings, accomplishment celebrations. I need to make my own life...for me to take part in. I am happy for everyone else, but I want to be happy for me too. It isn't about competing, it's about taking a chance.
