"Crazy" by Seal
What song has the same vibe as your favorite book? Which book?
I can't think of what my favorite book is at the moment, but I'm currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I think this song goes hand in hand with the things that happen in the book.
Oh man, I didn’t know what this movie was about when my wife put it on. These stories were hard to watch and that makes me sad in that it echoes so much of the what happened and what continues to persist.
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (Rerecorded)" by B.J. Thomas
Post one of your favorite songs about rain.
I think about this as we move closer and closer to having a rain storm.
"Another Day in Paradise (2016 Remastered)" by Phil Collins
What song makes you feel like you're in a dream?
I sometimes feel like this is the song for people who say that they "don't want to get political". I guess that's one of those things that happen when you have the privilege of things working out for you.
Why does it make me feel like I'm in a dream? It's the fact that I feel powerless sometimes. I think of it as if it were nightmare or bad movie. I can do something and I am called to action. I just wish more people were equally as motivated.
Does anyone remember when the guy from Duck Dynasty was talking about how joyful slavery was? For some reason, I’m reminded of that…
"Jolene" by Dolly Parton
The Dolly Parton song that means the most to you.
I like this song because I heard it performed on the first season of the American version of The Voice by Vicci Martinez. I honestly thought she was going to win. That season allowed the contestants to perform their own songs on the show.
I enjoy talking about the subject of the song as well. I emphasize to my children that if someone is in this kind of situation, then Jolene is not the main problem.
I’m trying to determine what the next step that I want to take will be. It feels like I’m just sitting her waiting for life to make the choice for me. Sometimes it works out, but most times it doesn’t. The horrible part is that it’s my brain telling me that it’s because I didn’t make the decision, it’s not my fault.
This is a fallacy.
Not making a choice is a choice.
If I ever send a picture of text in an email or documentation, please remind me that I’m now part of the problem.
Finished reading: Blood rising by Markus Redmond 📚
This book follows up on the Markus Redmond’s Blood Slaves. It’s not as brutal as the first book, but can still be pretty hard to read during some of the violent parts. Still has some scenes that made me wonder what exactly the author wants to do.
A flower on a dying bush.
