Squashed #10: We sing. We dance. We can't get enough of J. Mraz!

Kudos!This is probably his best album ever - a perfect blend of his signature dish of witty rambles, concocted with a slab of jazz, some chilled-out hawaiian Zen, and a whole sizzling potful of funk!

Ah, this is absolutely delectable. My ears and tongue agree in unison.

I don't care if u haven't bought a decent cd in years. You Have To Have ..


.. and start spinnin it on ur stereo!

He's probably one of the most talented musicians ever - and perhaps the nuttiest. The perfect emblem of Life. I love his words, i adore the way he thinks, i worship the way he loves life.i love J. M. philosophy.

If ever u think life is all about money and competition, status, snakes and corporate ladders (which so defines our society these days, isn't it?), take a listen, and i hope this changes your mind. It's okay to be silly, because then you're breakin free, your life breaks into melody, and i hope someday we'll all start dancing.



Ah, divine. He knows me too well. I'm yours, J!

It.

It came, first like the smell of freshly baked waffles, slowly working its way to infuse your senses, and then it's gone, leaving you with a subtle trail of afterscent, stirring your insides. You want more. You don't quite know what it is.

It doesn't stop right there. Your nose starts feelin a lil sour. Your tearducts threaten to falter. But your heart, preparing to burst into an elaborate display of fireworks.

And yet the flowers are just startin to bloom in the little garden of your heart. You've this strong grippin urge - to do what? You're hopeful. The angels inside are doing a lil dance for you.

When eyes meet, stories are told: a connection is forged forever. This is your secret.

People have tried encapsulating this moment with lil bottles and photographs. But you can't reduce life's music into anything less.

I would write u a song when i find u. I know my heart would sing - it already is. You wouldn't be frozen no more.

And it stays. Always have, always will.

Squashed #9 - Can't Stop Spinnin' This 'Un

This is bad.

i mean - 2 posts in a month?!I see someone cursin this page, (or me), overwhelmed with the strong urge to aim my butt with an odd-shaped pebble, slappin herself on the forehead, wonderin why she's always refreshin this silly page and just not gettin any.

(that's u, peanut, for the curse and the pebble; and mels, for the forehead-slap.)

Haha. Ok now quit goosin ard n get serious! -0-0-. i've adopted this new specs look just for work. well i dun really need the glasses, but its true what they say abt pretendin' to be geeky and actually feelin smarter and performin better.

or so i'd like to think.

But yes back to earth and my much-neglected blog. I've spun this track 32 times today, and i feel compelled to share this with u. Not a new song, but who cares?It melts, it reaches to your heart. It inspires. And hell, it's a great track.

Introducing: John Mayer - St. Patrick's Day
(much thanks to the guy who put this up!)

"Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue"

and later

"We should take a ride tonight around the town
and look around at all the beautiful houses
something in the way that blue lights on a black night
can make you feel more
everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
just like you and me

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
Come January we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?

And if our always is all that we gave
And we someday take that away
I'll be alright if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day"

Now that's what i call perfection. Songwriting should speak from the heart.

Lemon Goes Sweet.

Dear xxx,

I like how this is a mystery - I like how u'd probably never find out, unless of course, u feel the same way.

I like how you're goofy most days, and dorky on some.

I like how u always make me laugh, even when the goin' gets tough.

I like the way u talk funny, and how u ramble on about silly things.

I like it when u smile. It's really kinda cute.

I like how i can say anything to you, cos u actually listen.
(But would u rather watch the television?)

See I think I know u, but a part of u remains elusive.
Your heart shall be my loot when I'm Thief.

I like that you're nice - I'm never quite into mean spicy guys.

I like that you drift. You know I'd ride the waves with you.

I like how this stupid letter doesn't rhyme, but knowing you, you won't give a shit.

I like how we talk and talk nonstop and talk embrace live the words that make up the chemistry between you and me.

I like how I like fallin crazily in like with you.

xoxo
