soul all stuck to my face

Wes Carr is a musician who recently won Australian Idol but he's been sitting on bar stools for ten years and writes a lot of his own songs, and he has put an album on iTunes and I downloaded some of the songs, I'll get to the others later. I really like his original songs but there's this one song that I'd call my favourite, 'Soul All Stuck To My Face". I just like the notion. This is the chorus:

No I can’t get up,
No I couldn't get up.
And I’m lying here,
Too drunk to face the day.
And I’m stuck in your desperate doorway,
With my soul all stuck to my face.


So to me, it's about a person that you are completely open with, a person that you can talk to when you're down, when you're in despair. So for many people that's their husband or wife, boyfriend of girlfriend, or maybe it's just a really close friend.

Anyway, this is kind of leading to me. There's this guy I know. I don't know him that well though, I've only met him a few times. But it's strange; I would tell him almost anything. I have told him things that I've only told 1 or 2 other people, and they're close friends. Yet, I felt more comfortable telling him than them. Strange. I don't know if it's just because I feel like he's had the same kind of experience as me or what. Is it just because he's one of those people that you feel won't ever repeat what you say to anyone else? Maybe it's just I feel he'll understand. I don't know. I guess we both kind of have similar interests too which no doubt helps. And he seems the intelligent and thoughtful type. Maybe I feel like I could tell him almost anything because I don't him that well. I won't see him tomorrow. hmm...no I don't think it's that, but it might contribute at the moment.

I like the idea of having my soul all stuck to my face though. I mean, obviously not all the time, but sometimes, I'm sure it'd be a healthy thing, but I'm yet to experience the full extent of it. I think if I got to know this guy better, especially so it wasn't weird for me to tell him such personal things, then I'd possibly end up with my soul all stuck to my face when I talked to him. I just hope I at least get the chance to become good friends with him.

long time no blog.

I have drafted 5 blogs since the last one, but never completed any and they're not appropriate to post now, 'cause I don't feel how I did when I wrote any of them. So I'll start another blog that I'll probably not end.

I finally got my Jon Foreman vinyls and Switchfoot Holiday Pack today. YAY! It's been a long time coming. It's all awesome.

I am getting better at guitar. chyah! I can change a number of chords almost seamlessly haha. I am learning how to play "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. I love that song. It's pretty easy on guitar too. *woo* Except I can't play the chords in the bridge, but whatever, I'm ignoring thatt for now.

I just finished reading Catcher In The Rye. It was very good. But I feel like it had one of those endings that is kind of good but really not satisfying at all. It was such an abrupt end too. hmm. I still really enjoyed it though.

Tomorrow, I shall hopefully go on a little photography expedition. I have to for art, I REALLY need to get my major work idea sorted :S. I thought I was going to do it about being frustrated with myself but then I wasn't getting very far with figuring out how to represent it physically. So I shall toy with a few more ideas. I want to go into the city for this little trip, and hopefully I can find some little alleys and old buildings or something.

One more week of school, or 4 more days plus speech day. YAY! But I have to do so much in the holidays, get myself caught up and sorted with all my work, especially maths. eek.

I have lots of plans for the summer holidays. I need to finish lots of things or I just want to do lots of arty and musicy things. I'm excited about it but also scared I won't get much done. Hopefully i'll get somewhere though or the sense of failure will be huge and I don't know if I'll be able to crawl out of this hole I've been digging myself especially over the last year.

Well. That's all. There you go, I did finish it. I'm in a bit of a writing mood. I'm tempted to write another blog right now.
