off on a tangent...

Ok, I don't ususally write posts like this, but my discovery was too fantastic not to share with the blogosphere.


So I was looking up who did the song "In the Year 2525" (it's Zager and Evans, btw) and I discovered that after 9/11, a group called Clear Channel Communications made a list of songs that they found had "questionable lyrics" and that radio stations were urged not to play following the attacks. And while I feel their concern was valid, I find some of their selections wildly bizarre, and actually more offensive that they singled them out as songs of questionable taste in explicit response to this national emergency.

Anyhow, here are some of my favorites. A few make sense within the context and a few completely surprised me.

In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins



Jumper - Third Eye Blind



She's Not There - The Zombies



Rocket Man - Elton John



Imagine - John Lennon



Sabotage - The Beastie Boys



And my personal favorite: every song by Rage Against The Machine

Oh man there are so many I want to include. It's probably better if you check out the list yourselves. It's pretty amazing.

things that make me happy

moments during road trips



things you see every day, but in a new way



afterthoughts that turn into something amazing

p.s. i completely took this idea from color me katie, my favorite feel-good blog

sometimes life gets in the way of living

4th of July and other summer activities. I wish I had more time for more fun stuff. But working pretty much only on the weekends kind of prevents that. Oh well.

diggin'

the coldest May of all time

Just the past few days or so of my Project 365.



It's been a little mundane.



But I've also had a few adventures.

leaves tea? never.

I've officially been doing Project 365 for over a month. I'm really glad I decided to do this. Even though a lot of them are not very good, it's good be just be taking photos.



I also like that I'm learning more about flowers from working in the garden center. Woo!

summer arrives with a length of lights

Such a beautiful day off! I'm glad I finally got to shoot these tulips. I think they're on their last legs so if I hadn't gotten them now I probably would have missed them. Whew!
