We'll Always Have That Taxi Ride

So I turned my cab into the driveway,
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.
And she said we must get together,
But I knew it'd never be arranged.
And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.
And she walked away in silence

                    ~~ Taxi, Harry Chapin

Splash I'm Diving In

Splash, I'm diving in

Diving in, I'm diving in

Splash, I'm diving in

Diving in, I'm diving in

I'm re-surfacing, a brand new oxygen

Look at me, I'm letting go

A rising Kundalini

I'm breathing you, breathing me

Going with the flow

You're helping me forget

What is this?

Gonna break out my cocoon

I'm gonna take a risk, skinny dip

Can't Break Free Until I Let It Go

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Oh, but, God, I want to let it go

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone

Couldn't hide the emptiness; you let it show

Never wanted it to be so cold

Just didn't drink enough to say you love me

I can't hold on to me

Wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Don't want to let it lay me down this time

Drown my will to fly

Here in the darkness I know myself

Can't break free until I let it go

Let me go

             ~~ Lithium, Evanescence

The Sound of Silence

Pardon me for not including ad pics in this post, like I usually do.  I'm temporarily operating under less than stellar blogging circumstances.  Tm Creation's nature scene "Enjoy the Silence" reminded me of the song "The Sound of Silence."  As many know, the song was written by Paul Simon and originally performed by Simon & Garfunkel.  I never listened to all of the lyrics with comprehension - their version was kind of tinkly/sweet.  A few months ago, when I heard Disturbed's version, my mind was blown.  What a powerful song and message!  It makes me appreciate the beauty of the scene I created, thanks to my dear sponsors.  I included the song lyrics at the end of the post if you're interested, but would highly recommend hunting down Disturbed's version of the song for a listen on YouTube.

*******************************************

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

              ~~ Sound of Silence, Paul Simon

Just Say No To Pugs

Apparently I'm at a rally against pugs.  Frown.  Or no wait, forgot my glasses, maybe it's rugs.  Rugs!?!  I'll bet it's drugs, just say no to drugs!  Somebody fix that sign!  Pugs on rugs are adorable.

There's some lovely newness here for you from *Spicy* Bodyshop - a new Genus applier!  This is Romy.  My fave fave FAVE fave fave!  She is really beautiful.  I know this was a labor of love by the creator Veronika Beningborough, and it was worth all the time and effort she put into it.  I added eyeliner from the Genus hud itself, and the rest is all Romy.  Try it, you'll fall in love with her too.

And here are three wonderfuls waiting for you at Swank; but hurry, this round is wrapping up soon.  I'm wearing a nose piercing by Avada, necklace by Deliciae, and a romper by [Selene Creations].  These items actually coordinate very well for a hot look.

Happy shopping!
