The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

There's Nothing I Wouldn't Do

I want to lick your stamps
I want to squeeze your fruit
I want to copy your keys
I want to polish your skis
I want to dry clean your suit
I long to renew your passport
I want to walk your collie
Get you Nova Scotia salmon you can put on your bialy
'Cause baby, when it comes to you,
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I wouldn't do
"There's Nothing I Wouldn't Do"
Music by Marcy Heisler, words by Zina Goldrich

When I first heard it at the concert last night, it made me laugh so hard right on beat. The words are so thoughtful and funny and the nouns are unexpected. I want to write like that.
