Mr. Tambourine Man




I'm a huge fan of Bob Dylan, and have listened to his songs almost daily for years. They keep me company when I'm bored - the best part of listening to Dylan is following the imaginary characters he creates in his songs, doctors, lovers, chicken, Johanna, Bob's idiot wife, the rich man, the tambourine man, and countless more are in his great songs. 

Maybe I will always be a fan of him, because he talks like a poet and sings of rebellion.

Leave Behind



Geoffrey Chaucer wrote “time heals all wounds” but what he failed to mention was the scars those wounds leave behind. The painful things that happen to us permanently leave their mark. They don’t necessarily hurt anymore, but they’re always there as a reminder, as a memory. And as time passes maybe the memory gets a little fuzzy. But we always have the scar to remind us it happened, that we lived through it, that we survived.
