Compassion

So I am going to place (or attempt to, anyway) a video on this page for your viewing pleasure.  It occurred to me the other day that this blog is 100% for ME and as such, I want to make myself little reminders of things I liked in 2011 and songs that inspired me.  I was watching TV the other day and a commercial came on for Korean Air...the song they were playing was divine!  I had to know who sang it and also hear the rest of the song.  Well, after a 2 second Google search, I found that it is sung by the group "Luna Seeds" and the common name for the song is "Compassion."  It is also called "Breathe to This".  Awesome song.  It strikes such a chord with me (a very mellow, relaxing chord...you'll understand what I mean when you listen to it) especially the part that goes:

"Be gentle with yourself...when you're falling down."

I could only dream of having that much self love.  Most days I hate myself and don't blame others for doing the same.  I guess its love/hate, as with anything else.  Can you imagine the relief of just being able to take care of yourself.  Gently.  Even if you're in the middle of fucking up every single thing you touch?  Ahhhhhhh.

So I can find  inspiration anywhere...even in a commercial.  :)  (don't get me started on one of my favorite songs of all time which I heard on an automobile advert.  I'll post the video for it too, just to annoy Elvis who about DIED when he saw that I had downloaded it to my iPod and listened to it regularly.)

Enjoy!

Yes...this song by "Black Sheep" is currently under my Fave list on the iPod.  That wasn't a joke.  :D

So we went fishing this evening.  Elvis caught the biggest Bass I have ever seen up that close!  For real, ya'll!!  I was so shit-tickled that I was literally shaking trying to take a picture.  He was so damn proud of himself, and I was too, dammit!  We have fished this spot for about 3 weeks now, and neither of us has seen such a big fish.  He threw him back...mostly because he didn't want to come home and clean him. ("clean" is a nice way of saying MURDER AND GUT HIM)

I am still trying to come to grips with that part of fishing.  I've gotten fairly good at baiting my own hook with a live worm, but sometimes I still secretly thank them for sacrificing themselves so I can catch a nice fish.  I really don't like to think about if they can feel pain or panic or any of that.  If I think on that long enough, I'd end up fishing with those fake worms for the rest of my life! (which is no fun as the fish seem to be on to that game and don't bite)

I am going to shut this post down but in the footnotes, let me sneak in that I had amazing sex, not once...but TWO times in two day!  Jealous much?!   :)

Nighty-night.
