Audra is a Material Girl, apparently. And very passionate about that, too! XD

I have to very much DISAGREE with Anthony Fantano on MUSE. He is NOT a fan! But I respect his opinion. I will say, the idea that The Resistance was a bit of a Rorschach test actually makes some sense. And music IS political, Anthony! Matt Bellamy himself said that he hasn’t been happy with the past couple albums, either. Also remember, dude, Matt was in a terrible marriage and this record was his release. Anthony is BRUTAL in his rating, although he does have some fair criticisms. See, I DO watch things I disagree with, because I know he knows what he’s talking about. Personally, I think The WOW! Signal is Muse’s best album musically even if it’s a bit lacking lyrically. What Matt Bellamy needs is a lyricist partner. I have a few in mind…

I am finding amazing shit on Instagram. Like this cover of “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls by this gorgeous Southern belle.

This Taylor Acorn girl ROCKS! The song is called “hangman”

Been in my suggested videos for awhile, and Natalie McCool and “Coming of Age” is really solid.

Watching lots of Ella Langley interviews… This girl is SO COOL! So glad I jumped on getting those tickets! She truly is THE QUEEN of Country! Saved the damn genre.

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.” – Mr. C.S. Lewis

Man was brilliant, even if people commandeered some of his weaker arguments for God and twisted them into the abomination called “apologetics” that ruined whatever was good about organized Christianity and bred Satanic evangelists. Sigh. I’ve regained my own faith in the Lord, but not faith in the Church itself. The trust is completely broken.

Sav Brown made a Patreon video about being set on moving to LA! I would love that! Imagine her being in the same scene as Billie Eilish and Olivia!

I said: “I get the sense that Los Angeles may be the perfect place for you at this point in your life. Just a feeling I get. The literary scene there would be dramatically enhanced by your presence for sure! :)”

OMG I might meet Sav after all! Fucking heroine!

“…your eyes look like comin’ home…” 

“So dust off your highest hopes 
All I know is pourin’ rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days, I’ll know your face
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed.” 

– Taylor Swift, Everything Has Changed

These two are so precious. I commented as much. Alanna and Brianne are on the cusp of being international superstars. And when the post about them comes out on Sunday I am pushing it SO HARD!

How does Morgan know every single thing I’m thinking about in terms of what I hate about my own autism? This was my whole life for so many years.

I said: “Molly, you are one exceptional young woman! You were so brave to speak out about what was happening at home publicly knowing the potential backlash. Putting those intentions for a better life and situation where you can finally move ahead with your life is why the Lord prepared all this for you; the whole God helps those who help themselves. I love these videos because they are a major help in restoring my own faith in the Lord. I still have a lot of healing to do, and I’m sure you’re helping a lot of others too! :)”

“A belief is like an impression stamped on our soul; the softer and less resisting the soul, the easier it is to print anything on it.” – Montaigne

I think my favorite videos by Emmelie of Prose and Petticoats are always ones that have to do with the more philosophical topics. 🙂

I love this quote in particular: “Learning must not only lodge with us; we must marry her.” 

I’ve been lodging with learning for the most part for at least six years now! And now I’m marrying Learning about Music!

I keep Reaching Out but nothing is coming yet. It’s a rough time for so many, and I’m being so impatient. I simply can’t give up, and the best thing I can do is keep doing my thing with focusing my attention on what fulfills me. I want to write so much more. But I’m sort of in a bit of a holding pattern, and it’s frustrating. Although I am definitely seeing Ella Langley and I did commit to the Daisy Chains Fields Festival if the VIP tickets do come through for me. So I am working towards building a flood of positive momentum if just one thing breaks right.

MOST BASED HUMAN BEING EVER! Billie Eilish, I am going to become President and legalize polygamy so I marry you! JK but seriously, fucking beautiful and based as all get out.

Why does Livie make the most amazing shorts/tiktoks ever?

This song is fucking amazing. God bless you, Gabby.

FINALLY got to watch the “Dead Man Walking” video by Against the Current! I love Chrissy Constanza!
