Just know that I am sad

via A Dança Dos Erros

[ U2: Stateless ]

What we wanted sometimes
Faced with your eyes,
Given your mouth!

Almost crying that the penalty
Measuring that anxiety
For today - that is so little!

So little that neither exists!

From all that we were,
Just know that I am sad.

+ The Rapture - Get Myself Into It
+ The White Stripes - Conquest
+ Timbaland - Bounce
+ Foo Fighters - The Pretender

Letters always get burned

I found a file with our love letters. I opened it and read a letter I wrote ten years ago today. It's rather unfortunate really.

+ What I Learned About Video Games From ‘Lost’
+ Surfer Girl Reviews Star Wars: The videogame based on Lost was so terrible that when the company sent it to Sony for approval, they refused, saying "no, your game is too boring and has no gameplay, we don't want it on the Playstation 3." This videogame will beat records at being bad and will bomb really hard.
+ 'Lost': Matthew Fox Flash Forwards to Season 4
+ "Lost": Doc Jensen Returns! "According to sources, if Lost can't resume work by Jan. 31 (the same date the new season premieres), it will start becoming logistically impossible to produce a full season of shows."

Alone with my radio

by ~maciejpiotr

His silence in pain. I have come through the fire of family and love. I smoke with my darling, I sleep with my friend. We talk of the poor men, broken and fled. Alone with my radio I lift up my hands. Welcome to you who read me today. Welcome to you who put my heart down. Welcome to you, darling and friend, who miss me forever in your trip to the end.
