five

i'm a big fan of surveys. i can't help myslef. although i do believe that almost nobody actually reads them all the way thru... and those who do... well... they probably regret it and wish they could get that time back in their lives... but they can't... so. here i am, stealing away a few moments of your life to fulfill my survey-need for the week. (ahem, cough.)

"pick 5 songs from your music collection and explain why you love them"

5. joni mitchell, "both sides now"... first of all... it's JONI MITCHELL. that alone is enough for her to make my list. this song is a fav because it's so true... i can relate i suppose.

4. meredith brooks, "bitch"... because we are all a bitch... sometimes. it's important to admit it. and work it.

3. ida core, "let me think about it"... i can't help but love it because of the video. that's me in the middle, by the way. ha. enjoy.




2. teri clark, "i wanna do it all"... it's been "my song" since i graduated from college. because i really do want to do it all. and i think i will. uh huh. that's right. AND what.

1. cast of rent, "la vie boheme"... if you know me at all, you know how i feel about the musical RENT. and it shouldn't surprise you that this is my most favorite song.



To days of inspiration

Playing hookey

Making something out of nothing

The need to express

To communicate

To going against the grain

Going insane

Going mad



To loving tension

No pension

To more than one dimension

To starving for attention

Hating convention

Hating pretension

Not to mention of course

Hating dear old mom and dad



To riding your bike

Midday past the three piece suits

To fruits

To no absolutes

To Absolut

To choice

To the Village Voice

To any passing fad



To being an US for once

Instead of a THEM



LA VIE BOHEME...
