John is hungry

Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

I wish I was at home and I could just copy/paste the conversation from my chat log, but when I first put on this album, I had a conversation with Sammy that pretty much started “Ever put on an album for the first time and know within the first five seconds that you’re going to like it a lot?” Well, maybe it wasn’t the first five seconds cause track one takes at least thirty to kick in, but I was pretty sure that if the first song was this good and sounded this good, I was going to like everything that was to come. And I did!

Wisdom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
