A Lonely Socialite

whatever, forever

A playlist for content, melancholic vibes. Some fuzzy recordings, reminiscent of garages and basements

A new song from New Found Glory. This song has been my anthem recently.

Focus attention on the feeling inside you. Know that it is the pain-body. Accept that it is there. Don’t think about it - don’t let the feeling turn into thinking. Don’t judge or analyze. Don’t make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware not only of the emotional pain but also of “the one who observes,” the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence. Then see what happens.

Drew this while listening to Billie Holiday and my friend Emma’s new playlist (which I’ve posted).

Listen Up, for all of our benefit, a playlist by emsalinas on Spotify

a blend of singing styles, old and new .. but introduced in the form of a nice and non-intrusive, sensible combo that makes some sense.

If you’re interested .. it’s shiny and new and nice to listen to!

My friend Emma made this really good playlist

External things can only affect you as much as you let them. If you change your thoughts, you change your feelings.

I keep seeing the car that Emma has, or trucks that look like Adam's, and I look at the driver expecting (or maybe hoping) to see my friend. If Kiran's car was more distinctive, or if I remembered what Pam's looked like, I'd be doing the same for them too. James is busy with school. Not to mention Parker's been gone for nearly a month. I miss my friends.

Valentine’s Day

A pig is God’s mix of dog, cat, rat,

and you.

The first three animals are less important in this case:

you’re disgusting for the way you lie to me.

And lie to you.

Cover yourself in makeup,

showcase your obsession with him

--it doesn’t matter.

You’re still a pig.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

“If everyone disappeared except me and you, do you think you could still be happy?”

Her expression screams at me that it’s a stupid question. “Yeah. Of course. I’d have you.” She looks away. “I’d miss everybody for awhile,” she looks back and smiles at me, “but I’d be okay with whatever if I had you.”

“People diminish me; the longer I sit and listen to them the more empty I feel, but I don’t get the idea that they feel empty, I feel that they enjoy the sound from their own mouths.”

Having a girl who loved me when I felt absolutely undeserving? Even when I was a wretched bastard to her? Man, did that change me when she left. We didn’t know better than to love one another deeply and irrevocably. We gave all our love to each other with none left for ourselves. Because the other half would make sure we felt plenty loved..

New song from Tigers Jaw. I think the production of Turnover’s Peripheral Vision from last year influenced it.
