Odds and Ends

First, listen to this:

Strings transform everything... 

I've always loved the strings, and the range of emotions that they seem to encompass. 

Pandora found this for me, and I think I love this version best of all... 

There is a hurried melancholy to the whole song... a pervasive sadness...

It fits tonight.... sometimes everyone and everything just feels so far away, and you feel so closed off. There is an ache for someone to understand but it seems like none of the words are right... then a song like this appears in it's perfection. If I could tell you how I feel it would be like this 

I wish I could cover my floors with paper and let the song move me ... it would be produce such a beautiful sadness....

Titles and Hellos

Hello!

I think, more than anything, I started this because I needed a place to put down my thoughts. You'd think a journal of some sort would do the trick. Sadly, I spend way too much time in front of a screen. One day when I have the time to wander and write I will... until then this will be it!

This will mostly be about me and my life: new recipes, random rants, pictures, thoughts, music whatever I feel like. Maybe at some point it will streamline.

Thinking of a title was the first hard part. I suppose if it out grows me I can always start again, but I like the thought of how experience isn't always first hand. Experience by extension came about when my brother suggested it would make a good band name, and I possess almost no musical ability. When thinking about this, I realized anyone who reads this will be experiencing my life, my thoughts, my senses by extension- it fit perfectly.

Of course, what followed was the heebie jeebies about my first post. Who would read it, do I want people to read it, what would people say... and on and on. Finally, it didn't matter who read it, because I just needed to write.

So, I'll begin with hello. What follows may be a rush of expectation, but it's a start.
