Listening to:


Heathen Chemistry – Oasis
10 – Born on a Different Cloud

I’ve been on an Oasis high recently… not sure what brought this on. It was probably that street performer in the subway stop playing Don’t Look Back in Anger, which happens to be one of my favorite songs of all time. I could reminesce about the day in Lincoln when I first heard it on radio, and how it was love at first, um, sight.

I would think about the soft summer breeze tossling my hair as I wrote in my journal 8 years ago. I would be amazed how a few chords can bring back memories from the far reaches of my mind and how it made me feel twelve again, how it made me wish I were still twelve. It is my song of escapism. It whispers to me and I feel happy, content, and blissful. Like a cat on a cold winter afternoon, I curl up in my pool of sunshine and the world around me melts away.

I always find it valuable to have such moments with myself. Life is so hectic sometimes, and to be able to reach back and find simpler days, if only for a few minutes, it keeps me sane. And knowing my traumatic experiences with Math/Science/Engineering, I need all the sanity I can muster.
