feelings

i love watching gregory house every friday night...probably cos he gets me. it takes one to know one. and i always root for him.

i am sad that the O.C. rerun of season 4 ended last friday.

i am glad for papadum; her last sentence said it all: hope and spirituality. hopefully her hope will anchor us through.

i am concerned because i see the same storms coming. and i felt it tonight as i caught a whiff of the kind of moments i will be in pretty soon, in the air.

i think john mayer's heavier things makes a great anodyne for this week.

Something's Missing
by JOHN MAYER

I'm not alone
I wish I was
'Cause then I'd know
I was down because

I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like
they do right now
they do right now

I'm dizzy from
the shopping mall
I searched for joy
but I bought it all

It doesn't help
the hunger pangs
And a thirst I'd have
to drown first to ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
At all

When autumn comes
it doesn't ask
It just walks in
where it left you last

You never know
when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass
around your summer heart

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
At all

I can't be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test for loneliness
For loneliness like this

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Friends - check
Money - check
Well-slept - check
Opposite sex - check
Guitar - check
Microphone - check
Messages waiting on me when I come home - check

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries?
What do you think it means?
How come everything I think I need
