You hardly even notice
When I try to show you
this song is meant to keep you
From doing what you’re supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I’ll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it’s the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can’t you see that it’s just raining
Ain’t no need to go outside

But just maybe, laka ukulele
Mommy made a baby
Really don’t mind the breakfast
‘cause you’re my little lady
Lady lady love me
‘cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there’s no world outside

And we could pretend it all the time
Can’t you see that it’s just raining
Ain’t no need to go outside
Ain’t no need ain’t no need Mmmm MMmmm
Can’t you see can’t you see
Rain all day
And I don’t mind.

The telephone is singing
Ringing it’s too early
Don’t pick it up
We don’t need to we got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Don’t really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I’ll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it’s the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can’t you see that it’s just raining
Ain’t no need to go outside
Ain’t no need, ain’t no need
Rain all day and I really really really don’t mind
Can’t you see can’t you see,
You gotta wake up slow

-Jack Johnson

These are the books we´re reading during April.
I posted the questions for this month in the Reading section but you can comment on any other subjects that interest you as well, like Kristen already has. You go, Kristen!

There’s so many things i like about you, I..
I just don’t know where to begin,

I like the way you, look at me with those beautiful eyes,
I like the way you, act all surprised,
I like the way you, sing along,
I like the way you, always get it wrong,
I like the way you, clap your hands,
I like the way you, love to dance,
I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all….
Yeah..
most of all….

I like the way you move…..
I like the way you move…..

I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all….
Yeah..
most of all….

I like the way you move.

Fill your bags with the rags that you wear and their necessities
Along with the dog-tags and family recipes
Rest in peace, if you arrest the pace, movin haste
God-speed you black empress, get dressed, we’re late.

And so it begins, the longest move of the 21st century.
I’m moving across country, give or take a state.
I’m starting today and, by my calculations, I and all the things I own will finally be in the same place at the same time on May 26th.
I bought a map and made silly drawings of my little pieces slowly traveling, from here, from there, with attached dates, until all the colorful lines converge.
At home.

Chances are I will always:

1. Prefer a warm french baguette over any other food.
2. Be more impressed by thoughts than cars.
3. Get frustrated with men who don´t know how to fix a leaking faucet.
4. Be utterly amazed by those people who know how to fix a leaking faucet.
5. Be cynical.
6. Ask for water with a side dish of lemons at restaurants.
7. Think of Dylan when I look at Anna.

Here she is showing me how her first kiss went down. No, I don´t know why her thumbs are sticking out. Maybe it’s a thing of the new generation. Maybe I´ve been kissing people the wrong way all these years.
8. Cite “alternative, I guess” as my favorite kind of music.
9. Be liberal in the USA but conservative in Europe.
10. Have an estranged relationship with God.
11. Love road trips.
12. Love talking on the phone.
13. Love cooking.
14. Mistrust appearances.
15. Think of dinner and a movie as the perfect way to spend an evening.
16. Plan fantastic future travels.
17. Keep a blog.

And chances are I will never again:

1. Wonder if my life is heading in the right direction.
2. Have cheetos for breakfast.
3. Be intimidated by strangers.

What are some of the things about you that will (probably) never change?
