Sleeping beauty and beauty sleep

Out of all the Disney princesses I think Sleeping Beauty had the right idea.
A care-free, pressure-free youth and plenty of rest; she's the only princess that gets to nap!

As I was looking around today, people seemed fundamentally tired. It was kind of sad. When people are so over-extended or exhausted that they seem hagard, you know they're not going to enjoy thier day.
I almost feel like it's a waste. It was a lovely fall day and people were too wiped to notice. Because of this I'm going to encourage a slightly radical idea: go to bed!



p.s. a note on the last post: I couldn't find a link that would work or do justice to the songs.

the fox

"The fox" is a song by Nickel Creek. The instumentals are amazing. If you enjoy Hill or folksy music you will love this song. On that same note (pun not really intended, but still going to be used) if you like the fiddle, "Ode to a butterfly" also by Nickel Creek, is even more enjoyable.

These are "toe-tapping" songs, and yes they're a little silly, but also beautiful.
Take five minutes, find them, and listen; they're nice.

So I'm borrowing a better expression.

I've never been good at expressing grief. I don't sob, and I find that hitting stuff just annoys me. I can be poetic, but when actually dealing with death composing poetry seems trite.
However, my buddies Scholtz and Sikes have a real knack for putting the foggy things of this world into a more concrete language:

"It's been such a long time; I think I should be going.
Time doesn't wait for me; It just keeps on rollin'.
. . . .
But I'm takin my time, I'm just movin along;
you'll forget about me after I've been gone.
. . . .
I'm just takin my time."

and really that's all any of us are doing.
None of us knows how much time we have, but we're taking it.
(And more than likely taking it for granted.)
