safe (for the moment)

have you ever tried to explain the reasons behind a (recent) hang-up of yours but in the process become more confused by and frustrated with yourself? it's awesome, isn't it? ;)

i was lucky enough to experience this phenomenon the other day. after my gloriously futile attempt to provide any insight to the person with whom i was talking, i decided to go get some lunch. earlier that morning, i grabbed nirvana's in utero on my way out the door for the day's listening. now i found myself speeding and blasting my stereo as loudly as my ears could stand. as kurt cobain screamed "what is wrong with me?!" over and over (from "radio friendly unit shifter") i thought "that's a very good question, mr. cobain." i guess it was a positive sign, though, that this thought took the voice of kenneth the page from nbc's "30 rock." his voice makes me smile.

i've noticed lately that sometimes when i laugh, i laugh exactly like frank, my oldest brother. of course, i'm not referring to the high pitched girly giggle that i've become known for over the years - frank's too manly for that. this franklaugh of mine weirds me out for two reasons:

1. when it happens, i'm thrown for a second by the uncanniness of it.

2. it means i don't always laugh the same way.

i haven't taken a good picture in so long which makes me sad. i guess it's hard to take a good picture when you rarely take any pictures anymore. however, i did just post something on my flickr page that makes me laugh but i'm sure it'll get me in trouble. ;)

this lcd soundsystem song has been my favorite for months now. the music is amazing and i love how it builds up from the beginning. plus its opening line ("i wish that we could talk about it/but there, that's the problem") hits hard and kinda ties back to the beginning of this post. you'd check it out if you knew what was good for you:

someone great
