Happy Valentine's Day

I guess I've given up on writing anything anymore...





As the candy hearts poured into the fiery quasar, a wonderous thing happened, why not? They vaporized into a mystical love radiation that spread across the universe, destroying many, many planets - including two gangster planets and a cowboy world. But one planet was exactly the right distance to see the romantic rays, but not be destroyed by them - Earth. So all over the world, couples stood together in joy. And me, Zoidberg! And no one could've been happier, unless it would've also been Valentine's Day. What? It was? Hooray!

Happy Valentine's Day.

I always do this, I know. A real post is coming soon, I promise.

It's just that, whenever someone writes anything about Elliott Smith, it's usually very touching. The other day I was listening to one of his songs (or a cover) I'm not sure, anyway, I thought to myself: I wish he was still around. That's all.

Here's what the man wrote,

To his fans, Elliott Smith was someone who told your sad story and made you feel like you were not alone. He took your desperation, your toils and torments, and he made them beautiful, and in doing so he made you beautiful.

To those who knew Elliott personally, he was a tortured soul, full of love and grief and an insatiable desire for something more.

For all his odes and allusions and beautiful references, Portland thanks him. For making the darkness of this world gorgeous, we all thank him. May he rest in peace

-Anthony Davis, Expunged Records

P.S. I actually found a decemberists song I can stand listening to. It is an elliott smith song but progress is progress.

We have to overcome the idea that everyone is the same.

Hey, it's time
To move away and shine!
You can be all you ever want
In a dream.

You can take time along the way,
Let this music in your head.
You can be all you ever want
Inside a dream.

And if you take this time,
And you will move their minds,
You'll find it's all in a dream.
It's the only way
For you to be...
