The drawing
The list
If I had superhero powers
-I would fly in minutes all over the world to meet my friends.
-I would heal people in pain.
-I would carry people on my back and transport them quickly.
-I would build a house in a day.
-I would punish those who have harmed me and my loved ones by letting them stay on the top of a Giant Sequoia tree for 24 hours.
- I would make myself invisible and whisper nice things in people’s ears.
-I would clean the environment.
-I would bring food to all the hungry people (the yucky things I make).
-I would turn back the clock and be 10 years younger.
I spent one hour listening to Air Supply and Cool and the Gang.
The aim of life is to live and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Wake up – Arcade Fire
-I bet you look good on the dancefloor – Arctic Monkeys
-Alec Eiffel – Pixies
-Hey fuck you – Beastie Boys
-Love letter –
-Hyperballad – Bjork
-So real – Jeff Buckley
-Blow by blow- Moloko
The lyrics
“And I have seen the world of dreams, and, fresh-flown through the trees then dropped off at the curb alive, have seen the world awake, and I don’t know which I deserve. So when sleep nightly comes to me, with all of these warm blankets piled on my back, I’ll hike to see the church of dreams, where all of the shutters are painted black.
And it seems like that’s real until the time I awake, and at midnight the moonlight reflects as the lake is shining at me, until night takes it away. There’s one world in the distance, one world in the way, and not one can stay. And I have seen the wood of dreams, carved grainless and clean with a sweep of one hand, and have been happy with the leaves on my body when laid under land.
So when sleep finally comes to me - because it comes for the sleek like it comes for the lame – I’ll sink beneath a weight of dreams so full and complete that I’m pushed from my name.
And it seems like that’s real until I fall asleep, and then we load up the car and drive far to some street where a new life awaits, until day takes it away. There’s one world in the distance, one world in the way, and not one can stay.”

You would clean the environment and feed the hungry…
:)xoxo
Then come and crash on my sofa:)
I imagine you cleaning to this music: or surfing the internet; which is it?

I was so close to buying the Arctic Monkeys CD.
You would be an awesome Superperson. Wish you had those powers.

superheroes don’t clean the house, just the environment, so it’s got to be surfing the internet
angel

Now I wish you had super powers too!
I love that song, especially the line: “I’ll sink beneath a weight of dreams so full and complete that I’m pushed from my name” though it does make me wish I remembered my dreams more.
Explain Air Supply and Cool & the Gang…was this by choice???

There’s a lot of stuff in there! It’s nice to define your wishes but the last one “being ten years younger” - you don’t need that! I’m sure you’re a much better person now, you’ve learned, you have more experience and you’re still beautiful. So why…?
Kool & the Gang have a song named Joanna that my parents used to play for me when I was a kid.
There’s nothing like the world of dreams..

Well, if you really had super powers, you would clean mine (don’t forget all those cookie trays, either!

“…I would make myself invisible
and whisper nice things in people’s
ears…”
that is SO Chloe! I love that
one - and the flying people
around quickly bit. Love that.
I love your music list - you have
great taste in music - love that
okkervil river - although I could
not find the song - found another
one -sad song.
Beautiful drawing from little
mr. talent. Great use of color and
strong sense of line.

weirdly yes, it was by choice. i have a few crap song days per month. it’s like sleepwalking. just happens!

10 years younger means more chances to make mistakes and then get things right, that’s all.
cathy
okay Cathy, i’d clean your house, but that would be at the expense of starving children and the ozone hole getting bigger and bigger
Madelyn
my son always draws creepy things like cemetaries and body parts. i don’t know how to explain this, he is a normal, happy kids. he just has a morbid taste

“I would carry people on my back and transport them quickly.”
Chloe the living bus lady? You don’t charge fares do you?
I heard the Arctic Monkeys on AOL a bit ago, and I don’t know if I should go for them or not. They’re just too hyped! Whether they’re good or not dosen’t matter; I don’t know if I can buy a group that worshpped.

You diss Julios and you listen to Air Supply????

i had the same policy over books that are best sellers. but it doesn’t seem fair. i like Arctic monkeys.

oh come on “And I don’t know how you do it,making love out of nothing at all” and “I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you I know you were right, believing for so long”!!!!
Does THIS compare to Amor Amor???

Arctic Monkeys “Mardy Bum” deserves several listens.
Anything by The Arcade Fire is fine by me at the moment. They are my ‘must see live’ band of this year.
