i need you here tonight just like the ocean needs the waves

loneliness, boredom, yeah. malorie is out of town. that basically sucks all the fun out of the apartment. none of us are home very much as it is, but she'll be gone for the next week. but at least my apartment is really clean. i cleaned the fridge out today. and my bedroom looks better than it has in...months...i'm not even sure how many... lots. plan for tomorrow? finish unpacking...laundry...maybe some more cleaning... get my transmission flushed, and maybe an oil change. even though it's only been 2 weeks since the last one.

i put about 5000 miles on my car in the past three weeks. with all that driving, i've been listening to a lot of music, and i have a lot of new favorite songs. fun. so i took my CDs to listen to at work. mae. and my friend algot came in. wearing a mae t-shirt. said, "this is yours, isn't it?!" ha! it was pretty perfect. and great to see him too. i remember him bringing the destination: beautiful album to my apartment for us to listen to. good times.

You come over unannounced
Silence broken by
Your voice in the dark
I need you here, tonight
Just like the ocean
Needs the waves


how poetic. and yet, i wonder... in what way does the ocean need the waves? the ocean has waves, which are created by the wind: a transferrence of energy from the air to the water... but would a lack of waves cause the ocean to cease being an ocean? but in nature that would never happen anyway, not entirely at least. so, pointless question i guess. the ocean doesn't need the waves...the ocean inevitably has waves...so saying you need something like the ocean needs waves is like saying that to be without that thing would be like ceasing to be real...ceasing to exist. whoa...

that's one of the new favorites.
