Woah almost two days in a row! Holy S&^%!

So, lots of things happen to me in my average life that happen to a lot of people, but I think what makes this blog unique is that I believe that the things that happen, "the average things" are what makes us us. Our experiences form our existence, even if they are average.

This being said... I was driving into school this morning, and usually my drive is 3-5 minutes, so I only get to hear one or two songs. Well, this morning was just one, and then the beginning of an awesome Blues Travellers song. the one song though, was by The Airborne Toxic Event and was Sometime Around Midnight. Now, I've heard this song a ton, and you guys have too whether you know it or not. Here are the lyrics for reference.


And it starts, sometime around midnight.
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minute or two.
As you stand, under the bar lights.
And the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while.
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile.
And that white dress she’s wearing
you haven’t seen her for a while.

But you know, that she’s watching.
She’s laughing, she’s turning.
She’s holding her tonic like a cross*.
The room’s suddenly spinning.
She walks up and asks how you are.
So you can smell her perfume.
You can see her lying naked in your arms.

And so there’s a change, in your emotions.
And all these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind.
Of the curl of your bodies,
like two perfect circles entwined.
And you feel hopeless and homeless
and lost in the haze of the wine.

Then she leaves, with someone you don’t know.
But she makes sure you saw her.
She looks right at you and bolts.
As she walks out the door,
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes.
Oh and when your friends say,
“What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Then you walk, under the streetlights.
And you’re too drunk to notice,
that everyone is staring at you.
You just don’t care what you look like,
the world is falling around you.

You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You know that she’ll break you in two.


I realized that this perfectly embodied why I can't be friends with my ex's. Here's the part:
You can see her lying naked in your arms.

And so there’s a change, in your emotions.
And all these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind.
Of the curl of your bodies,
like two perfect circles entwined.

That's what happens to me when I see my ex's. All I can think was when we were perfectly happy, and most of that happens when we were cuddling. This really is the perfect Ex song. I think it perfectly encapsulates the feeling a lot of people have. At least, when they actually love you. Probably why my latest ex doens't feel this way. Hmmph.

'Till next time! Have a good day!
