dammit, i was born in the wrong generation.

"As a rule, most studies show that mothers are less happy than fathers, that single parents are less happy still, that babies and toddlers are the hardest, and that each successive child produces diminishing returns. But some of the studies are grimmer than others. Robin Simon, a sociologist at Wake Forest University, says parents are more depressed than nonparents no matter what their circumstances—whether they’re single or married, whether they have one child or four."

little wonders, rob thomas

let it go
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists and turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists and turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these small hours still remain

dylan, "to ramona"

your cracked country lips
i still wish to kiss
as to be by the strength of your skin
your magnetic movements
still capture the minutes i'm in
but it grieves my heart, love
to see you tryin' to be a part of
a world that just don't exist
it's all just a dream, babe
a vacuum, a scheme, babe
that sucks you into feelin' like this

fresh mary jane

Today I ventured out to the suburbs to Sephora, to pick up a few products I've been running out of. It was there that I discovered this perfume:
Cannabis? I was intrigued. I sprayed a bit onto a testing strip. It smells like patchouli.

Of course it does.

dylan, "just like a woman"

when we meet again
introduced as friends
please don't let on that you knew me when
i was hungry
and it was your
world.
