you wish you had a mug full of chocolate chips

Just when I thought I was becoming super-rational.
Now all of a sudden I'm writing songs.
And you know you can't be a songwriter if you're rational.
I can only ever finish works when I'm hopelessly hoping.
When I'm stuck in the past.
When I'm moving on serendipity.
When I'm counting on serendipity.
You're not supposed to count on serendipity.
You're supposed to move on and be cynical,
and then it just happens.
No. Not me.
I'm just stupid.
I'm just a stupid, stupid dreamer.
I'm all for creating yourself,
but you can't help external influence in that creation.
I guess you can make what you want of it,
but entanglement is powerful stuff.

So. When I say that I don't what this to make or break me - It's wishful thinking. I have made what I could of what this has been, but it's been everything, and you can only rearrange everything.

On a mildly unrelated note, I found a recording of my favorite version of my favorite song in the whole world. The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett. It was a Sinatra song, and I like his recording, but this one is a lot softer.
