Katherine & Peacock

“What? I totally dress up like a picnic table and pose with peacocks all the time. This isn’t weird.” (via)

Things in common; proud, stunning, colourful, regal, has grand eyes……



Why Louie Matters.

Greatest voice EVER!

“If lots more of us loved each other, we’d solve lots more problems…what a wonderful world it would be if only we’d give it a chance! -Louis Armstrong

Why Elbow Matters.

Greatest band of today, full stop!

The lesson here; Do what you love, surround yourself with those you love, don’t give up. 10 years to be signed. 5 labels. 4 records. 20 years together. Then the mercury prize. It’s about determination baby!

“Are we having the time of our lives? Are we coming across clear?”-Elbow, Weather To Fly

Why Nina Matters.

Can you say fervor?

“By creating music with messages, Nina used her voice to speak for those who couldn’t.”

Why Kate Matters.

You can’t hear the opening notes of her voice in This Woman’s Work and not be stirred..

“I think everyone is emotional. A lot of people are afraid of being so. They feel that it’s vulnerable. I feel that it’s the key to everything!” -Kate Bush

“We are living like we’ve always known a different way!” - Jamie Cullum, Wheels

It’s no wonder he’s my crush….ah, swoon!

“Just you wait!” -The Boxer Rebellion, If You Run

“ We are supposed to be capable of anything. I like that. Because there might come a day when there is no flashlight, there is no gun, there is no guiding hand. And I want to be ready for it. Veronica Roth, Divergent

Book Reccomendation: “Awaken” by Katie Kacvinsky

Obviously I liked it alot. Look below at my last bunch of posts to see all the insightful quotes I gathered. I drank this book down in four days!!! A story about our world in fifty years when we are so consummed with technology that it keeps us away from human interaction. School, work, life is all done on a screen from the safety of your home! A really great dipiction of a charged first love too. Great writing, thrilling scenerios and of course an addictive love story emeshed without a social warning!
