We Laugh In The Face Of Love...

"If blood is thicker than water, then

You'll drown quicker than we intended..."

- Anthony Green

Sometimes the purest joys in life can come from the simplest moments. These moments will likely hit you when you least expect them to. Today for example, I was a passenger in the back of my van driving down the 401. The sky was black and a dull fog had blurred everything around me. I was listening to Circa Survive's brilliant album On Letting Go. The eerie atmosphere, combined with the ambient sounds of the Circa boys honestly transported me into another world. It was surreal, but it was also amazing. 

I can't really explain how I felt, but I guess the best way to describe it is that I felt like I was in a dream, yet fully coherent. Everything around me was amplified. For a span of about an hour, nothing around me existed except my thoughts, my music and the world. That seems like a ridiculous thing to say - "nothing around me existed but the world" - but really that's the only way I can think to explain it. Everything was in a clearer perspective.

This wasn't the first time this has happened to me. In fact, just two or so weeks ago I had a similar experience, except it was Lydia instead of Circa Survive. These moments, however, are rare and I think that is what makes them all the more real. 

I live for those moments.
