Saturday Music Definitions: Joy


when was the last time you experienced random joy? this morning, I was driving and midway through my umpteenth listen of "Under Cover of Darkness", I just started laughing uncontrollably. I'm so happy right now. life is beautiful.

Saturday Music Definitions: Judge


I couldn't sleep last night so I was browsing fuckyeahtattoos and came across the greatest tattoo I have ever seen.

it says "allah wahdahu yastati' al-qadi li" which means "only g-d can judge me". it sent shivers down my spine because it reminded me of a chilling letter I once received that had that very message written on the back of the envelope (albeit in English). the fact that the tattoo is in Arabic amplified how powerful it was to me. because of my upbringing, I will associate the language with judgment forever. about me, my lifestyle, my choices. I've always wanted to get ink in Arabic, but mine will simply say سلام which is ‎"salam", or "peace"

anyhow, enjoy some tunes.

I've always really loved this song--for an entirely unsentimental person, I love how sweet it is. I just realized something sad, listening to it again. this love song was written for Katy Perry, who is currently engaged to Russell Brand (blame my free subscription to RS for that little factoid). it just struck me like a ton of bricks that more often than not, the stories behind great love songs fade. and that's life for you.
