things i don't want to forget

Two days ago I went back and read through my old blog (not the whole thing... that would be a huge feat). There were so many little things that I had forgotten; things that had been huge to me at the time. I love and hate that at the same time. I love the idea that I (and my perspective) am changing all the time. I don't love the idea that I forget who I have been. In a sense... I'm always the same person, but in a different sense, I am a different person every day. I read through one or two of my friend's journals and I couldn't help but wonder if he/she had forgotten all those things just as I had.

I actually came to this site to store little blips I don't want to forget. things i like, things i don't like, things that make me think or things that make me stop.

So don’t treat classical music as a once-a-year excuse to dress up and get a nice dinner. It is music. It’s meant to be loved by the young, hormone-crazed masses, loved the very same way we love Radiohead and the Arcade Fire. It should lie at the center of everyday life, spark our wildest conversations and profoundest thoughts, be the soundtrack to falling in love. There’s a galaxy of music in our city that needs our love, and I know we’ve got it in us.

“ You must have room or a certain hour of the day or so where you do not know what is in the morning paper. A place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are or might be.”

– Joseph Campbell

that's all i've got for today.

except that for, as much as I love Luther College, damn it feels good to be home (a gangster).

OH PS! my one year birthday as Emmalee is TOMORROW!
