    Cheap Thrills

    ‘Baby I don’t need dollar bills to have fun tonight…. I LOVE CHEAP THRILLS!’ Sia’s ‘Cheap Thrills’ is arguably one of my best songs this year. And while I would like to argue that her amazing songwriting and better than your average vocals are to blame, truth is, I love ‘Cheap Thrills’ because at heart, I […]

  • Stop

    Stop

    The streets of my soul have turned into a puddle, I do not call for waves The pores on my skin have turned into mountains, Do not climb them My eyes are turning into a mirror, Do not seek your reflection in them My legs are turning into brakes, I am not running; do not […]

    October went down and boy, am I glad it’s over! Super glad. Having said that, I’m really looking forward to the first Monday of December (hello 23), but in the meantime, shall we live in the present and work on not making November jealous; by Taking (some) Stock? I pray time has been good to […]

Does your soul feel like a parachute?  Should I stop it with the fake poetry and dive into Taking Stock? Yeah? Let’s do that… Making: […]

    Second First Date | by @sofaphilosopher

    An awkward silence hangs between us, a pregnant silence which never precipitates. Like storm clouds gathering only to dissipate. The conversation moves along haltingly you shift, uneasy, in your chair. You clear your throat; self-consciously you pat your perfect hair. I don’t know who you are I who once knew you so well – Now […]

    Know You | by @Sofaphilosopher

    The night before we’ll buy supplies. We’ll start out very early. We’ll drive off into the sunrise for somewhere quaint and distant; somewhere quaint, distant and lonely. We’ll park somewhere off the road, and leave our cellphones in the car – the world can make do without us for a little while. We’ll get the […]
