If last week I was "bulletproof" then today I'm "fireproof." As soon as I heard The National's new album knew I needed to add one last track to Volume 2 of the Inspiration Playlist.

Brian's Portrait (c. 1998) If I had to paint your face My fingertips would be the brushes I'd start with your jawline with four-o-clock shadow And move to the arc of your smile Trace soft lips stretching upward I would not forget your dimples Your strong nose That has been broken countless times Or your … Continue reading Bad Poetry Friday
Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”
This is one of my current favorite songs. I've been pretty much blasting it nonstop, despite the fact I'm at least two years behind when it was popular. I'd actually never heard it until I saw "Pitch Perfect." You shout it out, But I can't hear a word you say I'm talking loud not saying … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”

Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 10 “Running Up That Hill”
This wasn't one of my best weeks. There were a lot of no's in different areas of my life. Some were nice no's, some were not. One no led me to enjoy a cocktail in the sun at 10:45 in the morning. I've hit numerous roadblocks with my current WIP and my frustration is at … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 10 “Running Up That Hill”
