odds and ends and more odds...

I have my 8tracks app on and am listening to the saddest songs possible. It's like having a really good cry or leeching your soul of all the bad things inside you. It's another voice saying, 'I've been where you are and I've survived. So will you." It's not quite as nice as having someone to just hold you so you feel better, but it's almost as nice...almost.



I recently discovered this website:

and found it somehow fitting that there is only one person with the name of my crush...as in "there's only one wonderful you in this crazy world."

Okay, that sounds just a tad creepy (more than a tad creepy)...I really need to move on to other things...


Like this cool website that lets you know how far you can go on E when you've been holding out as long as possible on going to the gas station:

and this is both interesting and helpful, from today's New York Times:

And then "Come On Eileen" somehow ends up on someone's sad song playlist on 8tracks and I'm smiling...I don't think of this as sad, it's always made me feel good for some reason. What a good jolt to the system. Sometimes you really need to be thrown outside of yourself:
