| Bio: | Welcome to My World
You can call me Sam. It's not actually my name, but I respond to it as if it were.
I drink lactose-free milk out of the carton. I eat pineapple out of the can. I wear gigantic men's buttondown shirts as pajamas and think it's funny. I eat bagels almost every morning and haven't gotten sick of them yet. I love chocolate, I love caffeine, and I will never look like a supermodel. I'm lucky to look like a girl half the time.
I grew up in a Christian household. I believe in God and Jesus, but I am by no means where I need to be in my faith yet. It's a long, hard road that I will continue to walk, even if I don't always feel prepared.
There are just some songs a person needs to hear at certain times in her life, and I think Michael Nesmith and Glen Hansard wrote most of them.
I am hopelessly in love with/a tad obsessed with: Michael Nesmith, Glen Hansard, House, Desmond Hume, music, the written word, and anti-heroes.
I an obsessive knitter, newbie spinner, and wanna-be fiber artist. I never in a million years expected that a passing interest in a couple of pointy sticks and a length of string would blossom into what it has for me. In addition to all the other things I try to cram into my spare time, I'd like to become a hand-painter of yarn and a knitwear designer.
I'm a sap. I'm also cynical. Therefore, I tend to wish things would work out for the best even though I know they usually don't.
I miss Slow Jed's Mud House like crazy, and wish I had the means to revive it.
I love local music and am very angry about the existence of ASCAP. There's something about independent music that's untouched by commercialism that makes it amazing, and nobody should have the right to step on that because some big corporations are paying them a lot of money.
"And aggressive undermining of what you know is right
Is the work of fools who think without their minds." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Keep On"
"Outside the winds beat unmercifully hard;
Fear creeps like sand through the cracks.
But inside the stillness is consciously formed
As false goals and egos relax." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Elusive Ragings"
"Fear has no substance of its own;
These problems simply are coming to be answered." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Hear Me Calling?"
"Is the tale too early spoken
To the heads that nod a token
Of appreciation based upon the sound?" ~ Michael Nesmith, "Lampost"
"The echoes of the anguished are enraging
To intellects who stare at baseless woe,
While answers are successfully evading
The foolishness of those who think they know." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Wisdom Has Its Way"
"We were born to love one another;
This is something we all need.
We were born to love one another;
We must be what we're going to be,
And what we have to be is free." ~ the Monkees, "For Pete's Sake"
"My favorite book was wrote
'Bout a man who died to save my soul,
And my favorite thing to hear is,
'Daddy, I'm so glad you're home.'
My favorite woman is 5'3"
With long black hair and green eyes;
Yes, I live a simple life." ~ Ricky Scaggs, "Simple Life"
"You're gonna be nowhere,
The loneliest kind of lonely.
Just to do your thing's
The hardest thing to do." ~ Mama Cass, "Make Your Own Kind of Music"
"You smell a little like summer,
But you always look like rain.
You take too long in the shower,
But lately I can't stand to pass the blame.
'Cause I just wanna feel beautiful,
And I just need you to be okay.
Still, I envy what you're hiding,
And somehow I think that I miss feeling that way." ~ Almost Awake, "Ray Gun"
"I stepped inside a circle of leaves
In a whirlwind on the street.
And it's just the way the air gets blown,
But I think I smell her sweet cologne,
Then I'm left alone on the concrete.
You haven't been yourself today.
Friday's angel has left and gone away.
The baby's all alone outside
Counting leaves that blow away.
That are blown away." ~ the Bookdrop Bees, "Circle of Leaves"
"Toppling the barrier spoiled the view.
Let me offer what I've taken back to you." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Here I Am"
"This road is crooked, cracked, and wrong.
They've got the odds stacked nice and high.
I don't know how they get along;
Me, see, I internalize.
You can imagine what they say.
Given the choice, if I could fight or walk away,
I'm walking." ~ the Frames, "Pavement Tune"
|
"These things I think are new,
I guess they're really old.
It seems I've done 'em once before.
Now to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Hollywood"
"Seems it should be so easy to do
The things I am led to do,
But conviction and courage sometimes drift apart
And takes me back to the start." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Listening"
"We've almost figured out how we get along
And given time we'll find it strange
To be alone." ~ They Might Be Giants, "Pet Name"
"This fear that you've been feeling
Has no substance of its own
And, though the battle rages fiercely,
You will win." ~ Michael Nesmith, "Dance Between the Raindrops"
"For in mind is no confinement
To reverie's light play.
Conceptions are unlimited;
They are reflections of the way
Pure consciousness provides for us
Ideas that light our day." ~ Michael Nesmith, "More Than We Imagine"
"Open your window and let that fresh air flow;
Shake, baby, shake off the demon
And watch that angel go." ~ Brewer & Shipley, "Shake off the Demon"
"Bad habits, like neckties, can be nooses,
Stranglin' the life right out of you.
Was at the unveiling when they found you
Holdin' your breath 'til your face turns blue.
You wanna break free from
These guilty chains you wrapped around yourself again
Tryin' to hold onto what we had
Is like hangin' on to the wind." ~ Kathleen Wilhoite, "Stop Yelling"
"I can't tell you that
The world gets softer on its
Daughters and its sons as time goes by.
And I can't save you, oh;
It takes a while to find the balance
And the talent to let it slide." ~ Almost Awake, "Slide"
"And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind
Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave" ~ Glen Hansard, "Leave"
"Even the good stars
Can fall from grace and falter,
Lose their faith and slide." ~ the Frames, "Fitzcarraldo"
"And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die,
I know that I am like the rain:
There, but for the grace of you, go I." ~ Simon & Garfunkel, "Kathy's Song"
