Things I Love Tuesday //07-02

If you pluck out my heart
to find what makes it move,
you’ll halt the clock
that syncopates our love.

- sylvia plath, a trio of love songs (excerpt)

• latest blog find: simplystardust (awesome photography on her flickr)
• songs which are on repeat, this time in English:

We don’t mess around
You’ve got no freedom to come around
We don’t take angels from the sky
Oh no no no
But we don’t mess around
You’re meant to be among the clouds
Cause you’re an angel
But that’s a lie

angel by kate voegele

Superman never made any money
For saving the world
From Solomon Grundy

Sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man
Like him

superman by lucy wainwright-roche

L.O.V.E You I was made to be with you
Made to be with you made to be with you

Map The Soul (worldwide Version) by EPIK HIGH

Hayley, it doesn’t even matter now
We could have truly had it all.
They took him to the hills,
where they made him a star
Everyone loved who they knew from a far

Hayley by Empires

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it’s filled with coal, sufficating slow

“Ain’t No Reason” – Brett Dennen

• 50 Things To Do In Manila: Some events have already passed, but the other items on the list are worth trying!

• This Japanese song by Big Bang is so catchy even I have it on repeat! Love the jeans, the colors are so eye-popping, hmm, reminds me of Lollipop!

• Loving all things GINGHAM, I made two headbands out of gingham ribbons a red one and a black one. Plus it’s Sarah’s site header! I don’t know there’s something warm and homely about gingham.

• QUOTES:

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
- Albert Einstein

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving

When you’re young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You’re your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You don’t yet know about the habit they have of coming back. Time in dreams is frozen. You can never get away from where you’ve been.
- Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
“We are remembered for the totality of our accomplishments, but we are defined by the singularity of our greatest failure. It does not matter what you have been right about, and it does not matter how often that rightness is validated by others. We are what we cannot do.”
- Chuck Klosterman, Downtown Owl

I was a control freak. I had life by the throat and I was saying, “You’re going to give me what I want,” and it wasn’t. When you exercise every ounce of control in your human capability, when you will things to happen and you force them to happen and you fight for them to happen and they do not happen, you have only two choice–you can go insane, or you can relax your death grip on life.
-Robert Cohen

How do you plan to spend your week? Anything special on? I’ll be going back to crafting! So stay tuned!
