"Wait....they don't love you like I love you."

I just now found this as I was falling down the cyberspace rabbit hole known as youtube.



I love the amped version but this one gave me a new perspective. While the original is full of angst and violent desperation the tone here is resigned and lonely.

xoxo, Lola and Resalin


Now that's love--warm, surprising, fuzzy, and sometimes, slobbery.

Song three: "Help me make it through the night"

Let the devil take tomorrow, because tonight I need a friend.
Today is dead and gone, and tomorrow is out of sight,
And it's bad to be alone,
help me make it through the night.

Song two: "Something" by the Beatles

Because sometimes you know without understanding why.

"One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you."




Black, knee-high, with a two-inch heel, I bought my rubber boots to repel the slick wet rain. What I didn’t realize, as I left the store with my purchase, was that my practical boots were going to be a selling point to the opposite sex.

All kinds of men—not just kinky boot lickers—pay homage to the rubber boots as they stomp by.

On dry carpet, with caked mud smeared on the side, the boots are dull and lifeless. I can’t figure out why they’re such a turn-on.

But maybe they love them because I love me in them.

There’s power embedded in the soles. I feel it tingling my toes, shimmy up my leg, and settle in my hips, making them sway, side to side, as I stride away and leave them staring, fascinated by the girl working her boots, who’s going, going, gone.

"Africa"

Because it's that season--the dreaded time of year when society grudgingly or cheerfully celebrates love and all its trappings--I've decided to post a love song every day until the 14th.

Enjoy (or not).

The first one:



It's catchy and upbeat keyboards make me feel like I just saw my current crush(es) headed my way.
