The best presents are the ones that you didn’t ask for. The unexpected ones that someone gives you are SO perfect and SO wonderful because they took the time to think about it and get you something that they know you would really like. It is pretty easy to just get any old thing (although judging by the lack of love you guys are showing me and my request for movies and music, maybe it isn’t so easy, sigh). What’s really special is when you care enough about someone that you want to really surprise them with something they maybe don’t even know they need.
I just got back from the UPS Store. There were 3 boxes. All from my love, Doctor D. A small one, which seemed rather interesting so I opened that one first. Right in the car, parked in front of the store where you aren’t supposed to park. Heh. I have a really cute girlie pink swiss army knife dangling from my keys that I use. Anyway the little box had 2 nail polishes, yay, I love nail polishes! Then there was a larger one and a regular sized one. I opened the larger one next and that one had my label maker in it! Yay again! I am a little weird maybe, but I like to be organized and stuff so I am going to enjoy that thing a lot. And then there was the last box. I opened it and… didn’t recognize the contents. Not something that was on my list, hmm, what is this?
Sundays in general are kind of a melancholy day. The excitement of it being the weekend winding down and another Monday on the horizon. The sunshine of earlier this week has left Indiana and it is cloudy and overcast outside with a bit of a chill in the air. A good day to stay in and listen to quiet music. This is one of my long time favorites and it fits the feel of today. It’s kind of sad and mournful but it just has such a peaceful, melodic emotion to it. It’s been in a few movies and I’ve heard it in the background on some TV shows as well so it’s probably not very obscure and I’m sure some of you will recognize it. Anyway, I hope you find it’s calmness nice for a Sunday afternoon.
Lyrics:
The Atlantic was born today and I’ll tell you how…
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer [x8]
[instrumental break]
I need you so much closer [x4]
So come on, come on [x4]
