Big (166/365)

Urban Wildlife cc @_alinaavk

A big giraffe looming in one of the park's on Governor's Island. Side Note: AJJ was awesome last night and this song has been going through my head all day.

ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD - "Big Bird"

I'm afraid of the way I live my life.
I'm afraid of the way I don't.
I'm afraid of the things that I want to do but I won't.
I'm afraid of God.
I'm afraid to believe and I'm afraid of all the loved ones that I've made leave.
I'm afraid that my dog doesn't love me anymore.
I'm afraid of the social laziness that let Kitty Genovese die.
And I'm afraid of the mob mentality that makes otherwise normal people go blind.
I'm afraid of the way that the world works and I'm afraid of the words in my notebooks.
I'm afraid that you all know that I am a pervert.
But the big red bird that lives under the city
doesn't give a damn about me and it dies every night.
By burning alive.
I'm afraid of my grandfather's cancer.
And I'm afraid of my mom's dying arm.
I'm afraid that I've somehow caused my family harm.
I'm afraid that the ones I love won't have enough.
I'm afraid that the ones I love won't have enough.
It's harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else.
I wish I were a little less of a coward but the big red bird that lives under the city
doesn't give a damn about me and it dies every night.
So I bought a knife.
I am a knife.

Quality (165/365)

Quality time with Jessica ❤️

Quality time with Jessica ❤

BAD RELIGION - "Quality Or Quantity"

offer me eternity, and i'll trade a cup of coffee and a dime, looking
for a handout on behalf of those who have so little time, but who
wants to live on just 70 cents a day? padding your pockets doesn't
make this a better place, "cereal and water" is a feast for some you
say, your price-tag on existence can't cover your double face, quality
or quantity: a choice you have to make, dipping in the icing, bringing
home the largest turkey from the field, breaking all the piggy banks,
scooping up the booty, licking all the right holes, bolstering the
payroll, why reduce life to a dollar amount per day? and why let the
world think this is the american way? your uneaten greens ar a feast
for some you say, survival and living are concepts you can't equate,
quality or quantity don't tell me they're the same

Cancelled (164/365)

Cancelled (164/365)


Today I learned that when you book a flight on Southwest to LGA, instead you get to fly to Philly & then buy an amtrak ticket to NYC. Oh - and the side note is even though the desk agent said all NYC flights are cancelled, I just saw one so guess that's not stricly accurate.

DOWN BY LAW - "The Future Is Cancelled"

I don't care what people say
You're better off when I'm away
If I'm the world to you
Then the world's a lonely place
It's true
Destiny's a funny thing
When it leads you straight into the ground
Six feet below the saddest town

Can't stand another day knocked down

Well I miss you, do you miss me too?
Or are the memories too new?
You thought you realized how blue
But you never even had a clue
Well take the shadows from your eyes
And let your conscience realign

I'm standing in the darkest room
I'll you turn the lights on soon
You'll be the only one that hears
When I'm done talking to the sky
It'll be a lovely day to die

Fire (163/365)

Untitled

It gets hot at The Imperial OPA #Circus #atlanta Who doesn't love a fire twirler?

DEAD MILKMEN - "If You Love Somebody, Set Them On Fire"

[sound of match striking]

Know that it would be untrue
Know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire

But it's just the way I am
Have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac
So...

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

I went to your house last night
Dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
So I burned down your front porch

Now I feel a little better
About throwin' gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it

I just bought a brand new lighter
And I just can't wait to use it
With a can a' kerosene it's lots a' fun
You can't refuse it

Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone
So...

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

Know that it would be untrue
Know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
I didn't set your dad on fire

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

If you love somebody
Why not set them on fire?

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

If you love somebody
Why not set them on fire?

Splash (162/365)

Splash (162/365)

It's too bad office fountains aren't utilized as splash pools.

JIMMY EAT WORLD - "Splash, Turn, Twist"

With a turn and a twist she gets her wish
just a smile makes her who she wants.
It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
it turns into an inspiration.
With a splash and a twist we'll both get pissed
and leave after we hear our songs.
It's the smoke from the spark when the sulfur hits
she'll just remember she felt something.
So much for see you around
so much for seeing at all
don't leave me in the trivia
Give it a name and that's how it stays
over the threshold,
over and out.

Chameleon (161/365)

(161/365)

I really love how different Sky View Atlanta looks depending on time of day & weather, almost like a chameleon.

SAVES THE DAY - "Chameleon"

Where do we go from here?
Together for seven years,
Pull a polaroid from the lawn,
You and your red dress before it was torn

Was it all a waste of time?
What if we never met that night?
Would you be the same inside?
I wanna make it work, I wanna get it right

Criss-crossed power lines,
Strung over the billboard sky,
Oceans burnt to dust,
And shadows from bombs above

Is it all a waste of time?
We are born, we give in and we die,
Think of all the ways we try,
We wanna make it work, we wanna get it right

What if we never met that night?
Would you be the same inside?
When you think of it do you start to cry?
You wanna make it work, you wanna get it right

It is all a waste of time?
We are born, we give in and we die,
Think of all the ways we try,
We wanna make it work, we wanna get it right.

Sleep (160/365)

(160/365)


I'm so excited that Andy is coming to visit me & see Lemuria that I made up the guest room to be lemuria themed 3 weeks in advance so he'll get some sleep. ❤

LEMURIA - "Get Some Sleep"

You're wide awake before the alarm starts ringing
 The house is cold
 I know the feeling of wishing the sun would rise faster

I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 Alright, alright, alright

I've always been so bad at this
 Letting you know how much you mean to me

I can't resist
 I can't resist
 I can't
 I can't resist
 I can't resist
 I can't

I'm sorry if that way of thinking
 Has kept you from all of your dreaming

I can't resist
 I can't resist
 I can't
 I can't resist
 I can't resist
 I can't

With a little bit of luck the sun will rise faster

I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 I'm doing alright (alright alright)
 Alright, alright, alright

Give (159/365)

(159/365)

Indy got a pupsicle. It was all gone before I took my hand away. ❤

SHAM 69 - "Give A Dog A Bone"

The writing's on the wall
Saying what are you gonna do
Now the kids are turning round
Running back over open ground

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Where do you run and hide
When the lead has been untied
They didn't give what you need
But what you want you don't receive

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

The master knows your name
Come here you take the blame
I've seen your face before
You must be a prostitute whore

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone

Jellyfish (158/365)

(158/365)

Magical Jellyfish Heaven.

DEAD MILKMEN - "Jellyfish Heaven"

Gotta go somewhere
When you die
So why not see the world
Through jellyfish eyes

Jellyfish heaven
Where jellyfish go
To get away from Mormons
And drunk Eskimos
Jellyfish heaven
Is a lot
Like LA

If you're bad
You'll go to hell
And jellyfish will sting you
And your body will swell

Jellyfish heaven
In the big blue sea
Where it's too cold to surf
And it's too warm to ski
Jellyfish Heaven
Is full of dead
Jellyfish

People always saying
"I won't eat jellyfish
'Cause they ain't got no bones
And you can't make a wish"
People always shouting
"Don't go swimming near those things!"
But when they're close to dying
You can hear them sing

Jellyfish heaven
Is not like Japan
Jellyfish heaven
Is not like Thailand
Jellyfish heaven
Is a lot
Like LA

Sweet jellyfish! [x2]

I've been dazed and confused
For so long it's not true
I wanted a jellyfish
Never bargained for you
Lot's of people talking
Few of them know
Soul of a jellyfish
Was created below!

Papa don't preach!
I'm gonna keep my jellyfish!
I've been tied to the jellyfish
Tied to the jellyfish [x2]
Oh Lord, I feel like I'm dying....

Guilty (157/365)

(157/365)

Indy has his "It's morning already?" look down. It's strikingly similar to his guilty look.

LOOK MEXICO - "I'm Not Guilty, But I'm Used To It"

Send "I'm Not Guilty, But I'm Used To It" Ringtone to your Cell
Pour me another drink, won't you please.
'Cause I'm here and there's nothing else to look for.
I can read and I can breathe.
And my cup is half a quart more full than you.

It's so easy, yeah, so simple
to let someone fill your grave up with sand.
With your arms still and your lips dry,
What would you give to live a life under the sea?

I'll call it. It's raining anyway.
Just promise that you'll never do it again.
I guess the question is, 'How long do I struggle for air?'
Not, 'Why do I want it more as I'm getting pulled down?'

Secret (156/365)

(156/365)

Gracie is my otter BFF ❤ otters have flaps of skin that function as pockets where they can keep their favorite rock or shell that they use for opening oysters etc. As long as I kept talking to her, she kept coming back to show me her rock. It's like a secret.

JAWBREAKER - "Like A Secret"

Did you ever wish you could be king?
Holding heaven in your hands
and hoping it will all come true.
Turn the world on its ear make it ring.
Rub sticks in dirt and dust
and let the bright come burning through.
Don't talk me down from here.
Let me fly this kite without a string.
Goes much higher than these buildings.
It is faster than your tv.
Larger than your life, like silver.
Talk lines unbroken by old fears.
Necklaces of perfect words to hang around your perfect neck.
Turn a diamond to a lump of coal.
Making fires amd melting ice.
Locomotion frees the soul.
Don't talk me down from here.
Let me fly this kite without a string.
Goes much higher than these buildings.
It is faster than your tv.
Larger than your life, like silver.
Colder than deep water.
It is better than a switchblade.
Hides mountains in its shadow like a secret.
I make my bed alone.
See the would-be king on a would-be throne.
I'm all I know now.
Better get started.
It's a long walk home.

Parents (155/365)

(155/365)

My parents love me ❤ swim caps & treats from Ireland I really love caramel squares.

INTO IT. OVER IT. - "Introduce This To Your Parents"

I've been counting ways to tell you
That this isn't working out in my head
"Is there a problem? You can tell me." she said
But despite my best intentions
What would I say to you now?
With all the "I'm sorry"s that come out your mouth
You've promised me a good time in your town
But I'm not driving that distance just to turn around

So maybe you should try harder
To begin to try trying less
I swear I'm not this hard to impress

You're way too funny to give me much less
I'll chalk it up to inexperience
But still you've kept your mouth shut
The cats got your tongue
In a fit of apprehension

I wish I had the courage to say this to your face
You'll forgive me one day
But this song will outlive us both anyway, any day

So maybe you should try harder
To begin to try trying less
I swear I'm not this hard to impress

So take this song home with you
Cause I'll never see it for myself
You can introduce it to your parents
Or frame it on your shelf

Swim (153/365)

(153/365)

I'm swimming an open water race with Paige n July so will be spending lots of time here!

CHEAP GIRLS - "If You Can't Swim"

Well, I'm no good
I'm no good with convincing
So if you want me, come and get me
I'll be right here where I've always been
Sometimes it all
Sometimes nothing's ever built in to keep a plan
Sometimes you got to learn as it goes along
Don't forget that it's all got to be on time

And if you can't swim
And if you can't swim
You'll be on the list just to float along
To make room for the next one
And if you can't swim
And if you can't swim
You'll be on the list just to float along
To make room for the next one

I bet if we, well, I bet if we could just get through tonight
We could make some more chances to get a good start
And not be gripping our heads so tight
Sometimes it all
Sometimes nothing's ever built in to keep a plan
Sometimes you got to learn as it goes along
Don't forget that it's all got to be on time

And if you can't swim
And if you can't swim
You'll be on the list just to float along
To make room for the next one
And if you can't swim
And if you can't swim
You'll be on the list just to float along
To make room for the next one
Making room for the next one
Making room for the next one
Making room for the next one
Making room for the next one

Never (152/365)

(152/365)

never give up. never ever.

NEW FOUND GLORY - "Never Give Up"

living with me
I don't think it would be so bad
this is the first time this year
that I'm not going to make you mad
I'm tired of my conscious
always telling me to stop sleeping in
but I can't waste a second
on dreams that will never begin

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to become their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

is it cool if I see you tonight
there's a thousand questions
I want to ask you
if you think that its alright

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to become their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

so don't take anything for granted
sit outside in the rain
an excuse you know I planned it
every ending ends up the same

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me
