The Girl Who Knew Too Much (Useless Information)

I think I'm having a quarter-life crisis 5 years too late. Aside from that, I'm awesome! I'm both sarcastic and vulnerable, a cynic and a hopeless dreamer. I'm just a girl...figuring it out. My blog is random and my ask box open. Hope you like it here. If you don't, what's wrong with you?!

“Present I follow you, absent I find you,

In the depths of the forest, your image follows me.

In the light of the day, in the shadows of the night,

Everything bring back to my eyes the charms I avoid…”

Like a fine wine……….

Like a fine wine……….

…Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again, and then in dreaming
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.

—William Shakespeare - The Tempest


The flame that seemed quenched quite

Did kindle out of hand again. Her cheeks began to glow,

And flushing over all her face the scarlet blood did flow.

And even as, when a little spark that was in ashes hid,

Uncovered with the whisking winds, is from ashes rid,

Eftsoones it taketh nourishment and kindleth in such wise

That to its former strength again and flaming it doth rise…”

Ovid - Metamorphoses

rollingstone:

Trent Reznor is a network of balanced contradictions – and all the richer for it. His music can be as abrasive as chain saws or as melodious as birds – often in the same four minutes. Until The Fragile, he worked almost exclusively with machines but expertly wrung earthy warmth from their chips and bits. As much as his music screams “Fuck you,” it whispers “Love me.” It can sound simple, but it is meticulously crafted and complexly programmed. Reznor uncorks chaos but has the intelligence to harness it. As industrial, distorted and thrashing as Nine Inch Nails are, there is an inherent groove to the music that can’t be learned – like Prince, like Sly Stone.
Happy 48th birthday Trent Reznor!
Short. Boom.
