I might make this a thing. No promises. The idea is to post songs describable by these S words because alliterations are fun! I'll (maybe) post a relatively new, relatively unknown song each Sunday with a soft tone, sweet lyrics, slow tempo or any combination of the three and maybe sexy if applicable.
First up is 'Knees' by Peter and Kerry. I was just going to post the song but there was a video! So have that! More info on their website peterandkerry.co.uk if you so desire.
Still not sure if I'll make this a thing though...
"I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom."
Heinrich Heine
I was having another night staying up doing nothing important. Just finished watching Defranco Does Dublin and I was thinking I should probably go to sleep now. Buuuut.... just didn't wanna... Why though?
Suddenly, BOOM! I remembered a few nights ago I actually did go to bed early when I had not much else to do. Or rather I went "to sleep", going "to bed" with my laptop on is a different situation. Point is, I couldn't sleep. I had my eyes closed, lying in bed for what seemed like at least over an hour. Maybe two.
It was finally all kind of clear. This is why I stay up all the time. It's hard to fall asleep unless my eyes get too heavy to keep open. Armed with new knowledge, the question is no longer "why don't I want to go to sleep at night?" and is instead "why do I find it so hard to fall asleep?". Inconsequential to most I'm sure but for me... GROWTH!
Sleep, my love, we can fix this! We can make it work!
Oh, I haven't forgotten about the blog and haven't abandoned it. In fact I return so often. I just couldn't push myself to create more regardless of the ideas I had.
This blog became work. Your blog should never be considered work or it's bound to fail. Rather than force myself to produce something, I waited & allowed myself to dream again.
I created this for my newest post and I was going to add so much more then I realized I was falling into the same trap that caused the extended absence. I'm not going to pad it and make it look like more than it is. I have it so I'll present it.
Here I present to you an idea I've had swirling around in my head for at least over 9 months now, The Dream Mixtape.
