here's looking at you kid...

this post is dedicated to the greatest love story of all time, casablanca.

"play it, sam. play it once, for old times sake"

"what nationality are you?
I'm a drunkard."

"Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think, huh? "

"of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

"I wish I didn't love you so much"

losing the feeling of feeling unique

I'm in French right now, both literally and metaphorically.
I've come to realize that trying your best is not the best you can ask for
I just wish I knew what was so I could start doing it.
And let me just take a moment to say I miss you. A lot.
Its not all bad I guess, I mean, you only ever call when things get bad
I can only assume that my loneliness is your happiness.
on d-day the Germans used guns that shot faster than the speed of sound
you were dead before you heard the shot.
Loves kinda like that
the word not the emotion.
A friend of mine recently dropped the "L" word while in a post 12 shots drunken stupor over voicemail like ten times to his special someone.
Made me wonder if we say it cus we really mean it or because we've been taught to mean it
I don't think he was lying, I'm just not sure he meant it.
Now I don't know if I meant it, and I want to have meant it
but what if I was just saying it? Do you know if I meant it?
I should get back to French class, the sub is looking at me weird.

show me a starry eyed kid, i'll break his heart

The long weekend threw off my internal timer, but here's my ol' blue eyes song of the week, "I'm gonna live until I die"

I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die

They're gonna say what a guy
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing,gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live live live until I die

Those blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die

Those blues I lay low,I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live until I die

trade baby blues for wide eyed browns

sorry im a little late with the song this week. it's "all the way" by francis albert sinatra.

When somebody loves you
Its no good unless he loves you...
All the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you
All the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
Thats how its got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
Thats how deep it goes if its real

When somebody needs you
Its no good unless she needs you
All the way

Through the good or lean years
And for all those in between years
Come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you let me love you
Its for sure I'm gonna love you
All the way

All the way....

So if you let me love you
Its for sure I'm gonna love you
All the way
All.. The ... Way......

like the fellas once said, ain't love a kick in the head?

so, uhm, last night
i was kind pretty wasted off vodka and snapple.
i started drifting off a little bit then snapping back
every time i closed my eyes i saw you.
it wasn't like a memory,
it was so vivid
it was like you were there looking back at me.
i ended up passing out at a friend's house at like 1:40
and i had this kind of weird dream,
maybe you can help me explain it.
we were at some theme park
and we were getting on a roller coaster
and i looked you in the eyes and said "i'm scared"
i tried to hold your hand but you took it away
then we started to move
at the peak of the loop i looked over and you were gone
then i let go of the handles and all of a sudden the restraint was gone and i was falling
so i closed my eyes and thought as hard as could about you and i was back on the roller coaster, you were still gone.
then ari woke me up.
i know there are some pretty obvious interpretations for this but it seemed so much more important.
i mean, i NEVER remember my dreams but this one is all i've been able to think about all day.
maybe we can talk about it sometime soon.

so i had to did, what i had to did, cus i gotta get [dough, dough] now i'm up all night, getin my money right, until the blue and whites [po po, popo]

wow. i'm so amazed that the giants one. I was pulling for them, but wasn't sure it would actually happen. anyways, it's that time of the week. the song is "the way you look tonight" by the one and only, the chairman of the board.

Someday
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Hmm...
Hmm...
Just the way you look tonight
