summed up in three words:
all is cased.
cute.
i start every new year with a tradition: first song heard in the new year.
i decide beforehand what song will be the perfect bridge between years, as far as standing on one side looking to the other, the rolling up of pants legs and crossing to the other side goes.
this year: This Must be the Place--Talking Heads.
also the title of a TH biography i was reading at the time. in the Stop Making Sense movie, David Byrne sings this song to a lamp that he later dances with.
i think it comes from a place of a...cynical view of happiness, love, finding one's place. but there's a bit of a shift. a small shift, where the speaker decides that the place in which he is existing at that moment is actually a place he can stay..."for a minute or two." and possibly find happiness there in the process.
more later.

Nice foray into the blogosphere. Don't think. Just write.
i hope you can find happiness, even if the tradition was a little screwy this year. (sorry.)
david byrne = so awkward yet so adorable.
