when we're together, we're forever

ATB's L.A. Nights brings back a euphoric feeling of home, Los Angeles, those breezy summer nights, dancing til the sun comes up, carefree summer love...I can't even describe it. It's beautiful.

Makes me happy and hope full.



People always ask each other whether you'd rather be blind than deaf. It's just one of those questions that people seem to find defining, one of those ones you'd probably find on one of those online personality quizzes. I guess it does say a lot about a person.

Given the choice between the two, I think I would rather be blind than deaf, because at least you could hear peoples' voices, you could talk to people, you could listen to music and hear birds chirping. You could hear the crash of the ocean. Sight is an incredible gift. I can't really imagine not being able to see the trees, the sea, see other people, their expressions. But...if I had to give one up, sight would be it. Not being able to enjoy the nuances of conversation, the rustle of the wind in the trees...

Deafness must be so lonely.


And don't even get me started on not being able to listen to music.

At least for me, every song I listen to reminds me of something, a time in my life, someone, some place. For me, music is so intertwined with my memory that some songs just become a part of me. Even songs without words just...make you feel.

Which is why it's about time I did another snapshot. :)
