It Weighs Less When It's Not In My Chest...

Posted by viv, 02 February 2012 -

Once upon a time… That’s how these things start, right? The line that starts the whole story. After that, nothing else even matters but getting to the happily ever after.

You Don’t Even Need a Ticket, Just Clap

It’s been said that great things come in small packages, and the moment I walked into Hotel Café in Los Angeles, I knew that truer words haven’t been spoken. The intimate venue and stage only serves to showcase just how much that applies to the man standing in the center of it. It will never...

You take my breath away and then ask if I’m okay,
Neat trick, to feel amazing while you’re suffocating.
My heart’s beating out of my chest and my head goes black,

Sometimes it’s swift, makes me feel like I don’t know how to breathe,
Other times it stings, little flashes of the past.
A minute or a lifetime, but it’s one thing I can count on…
Now that you’re gone.

Days pass until they add up to forever,
And no matter what I...

While shopping for the things we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner, I asked the kids if they would prefer Cool Whip in the tub or Reddi Whip in the can for their pie, and after a few seconds of careful consideration, they both say, "spray can," and while I'm just glad they are finally agreeing on something, my daughter says, "that way, I...

I got the new Taking Back Sunday album, Live Form Orensanz, a few days ago, and I've got to tell you, it's so beyond amazing. The strings, the depth of the music, the emotion, it moves me and it is because of this that I've given it control of my iPod and that I'm telling you about it.

Just look!...

�You have for company the best companion you will ever have�the modest, defeated, plodding workday self which has a name and can be identified in public registers in case of accident or death.
