Listening To Nightswimming by REM

I need a haircut. I have been trying to grow it out for a couple months and now it has reached the point of no return. I have looked at my two older brothers' hair and I realized that if I don't grow it now then I never may. So this is the photo I took in the A.M. just to entertain myself. I think I need to buy a digital camera. These camera phone pics are lackluster.
I have been trying to pinpoint what it is that makes me feel like I am in love. There is just an overwhelming sense of ease that occurs. It's a feeling I can't really describe except to say that everything unfolds naturally. And the moments that you spend with the person unfold without a thought. The conversation flows, the moments blossom, and you can't help but look into the person's eyes.
I guess the easiest way to describe what being in love is through every cliche that has ever been written. How about an amalgamation of song lyrics from some of my favorite love songs? I have often been accused of expressing myself through song lyrics, so maybe this would be the best way for me to express it.

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Van Morrison - Sweet Thing

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
’hey, it’s me, I’m dynamite
And I don’t know why’
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.

MC Hammer - Pumps and A Bump (Thanks to Maggie and Shannon)

Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward (cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump

Saturday Looks Good To Me - Since You Stole My Heart

And every time you're close to me
Since you stole my heart
I feel an electricity
And it just won't go away
And no, I can't give it a name
And nothing seems to feel at all the same
Since you stole my heart
I walked through the graveyard
And sang to the cold stars
All the names on my dancecard
Left me standing down by the ocean
All alone and out in the open
Somebody told me that everyone's lonely
But I was the only fool there waiting
Down by the ocean
With my heart half the way broken
I don't know what's come over me
Since you stole my heart

If you have never heard these songs I would advise you purchase them as soon as possible. They are a meager representation of an overall feeling that I have been having trouble expressing through words. But there will be many more blogs to come. Oh yes there will.
