"We live in Los Angeles, where everybody is like, “Don’t get your dog from a breeder, get your dog from a shelter…” and I agree, but don’t get your people from a breeder. There are human puppies in shelters and it’s odd that that never seems to be a connection that people make. If you’re not OK with yourself, it’s easier to love a dog than a person in need because you don’t see all the things you hate about yourself reflected back in the eyes of a dog. If Africa was full of springer spaniels dying of AIDS and starvation we’d probably take care of it in a day."

Here it is.

The Age of Worry, John Mayer.

Close your eyes and clone yourself
Build your heart an army
To defend your innocence
While you do everything wrong

Don’t be scared to walk alone
Don’t be scared to like it
There’s no time that you must be home
So sleep where your darkness falls

Alive…

“Give your heart then change your mind

You’re allowed to do it

‘Cause God knows it’s been done to you

And somehow you got through it”

The Age of Worry | John Mayer

next on our rocking-out-to-while-drunk-playlist…

So totally on my lifetime’s playlist. I remember when I hated/loved my ex, one Mr. Razmgar, I would obsessively listen to this song.

Animal Planet’s “Tanked” is such a fun and addictive show.

day five.

Day 5- Favorite Acoustic Version

Why Georgia

Favorite acoustic because it’s my second favorite song by Mayer (behind Edge of Desire).

and i wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict-less life.

day four.

Day 4 - Favorite Live Version

This one was a pretty easy question for me to answer and it may have to do with the fact that i’ve never heard the song as a studio recording, only as a live version. however, that’s not the only reason; clearly, it is an amazing song that is made so incredibly powerful with sheer and raw emotion through a live version. 

“In Your Atmosphere” from the “Where the Light Is” album 

The last few minutes when he starts with his repetition of 

Wherever I go, whatever I do

I wonder where I am in my relationship to you

Wherever you go, Wherever you are

I watch your life play out in pictures from afar.

makes me feel things that are deep within me. I have been there. I have fought through that struggle. 

ten and two are the loneliest sight…

day three.

Day 3 - Favorite “Inside Wants Out” Song

Okay, this one was definitely the hardest of the three days thus far. 

I mean really - how can i choose between “my stupid mouth”, “neon”, “victoria”, and “back to you” ? i guess i must.

I choose “Back to You” for very personal reasons. When I was in high school I was in love. At the time I wasn’t vested with the language or the emotional intelligence to understand that I was madly in love with my best friend, Emily, but I was. I would listen to “Back to You” and think of her. And it was true, I walked with her shadow and she occupied every thought I ever had. I was absolutely love sick. I stayed that way for about two and a half years.
