its what my mother raised me on but never completely appreciated until now. a music of love and emotion. a music where feeling and language were just as important as the other. soul.

this song was written in 1957 by ewan mac call for his wife peggy seeger who needed a romantic song to sing in a play she was in. roberta flack covered it for her album "first take," but the song wasnt popular until it was featured in a popular movie three years later (much like the popular m.i.a. song "paper planes" haha) its been covered a bajillion times by so many different artists (i recommend checking out johnny cash's version as well) but i think ms. roberta did it best myself.

in an unexpected visit from my mother and grandmother and coming down the mountain from a perfect weekend spent in austin, my monday finished nicely with still a few graces to spare. 

i had lunch with my mom and grandma at a burger joint down the road. we laughed, cried, filled each other in about things going on in our lives. i drank coffee. my grandma talked about grandpa. it was nice. i miss my mom. i miss all my family. 

in my family we all kiss each other on the cheek when we greet each other, when we say goodbye, or just to say i love you. i can actually describe to you what each of my family members face feels like against my own face. and claudias too. i have it memorized.

my brother called me in denver a little while ago. hes waiting for his plane to san antonio. he told me about his convention in seattle. its always been a dream of ours to go to seattle. to be somewhere enveloped in trees older than both of my grandparents ages combined just seems...beautiful. 

baby, we should have watched notorious. but still, best weekend ever. from the pastries in the park to our dirty dancing at diplo. BEST TIME EVER!

its been so long...



fate has a way of showing on where you belong

the sound of my heart stopping, a surprising song

time has a way of knowing when we have been strong

its been so long its been so long

claudia vato is the love of my life. i miss her now more than:

i missed watching sesame street when i started kindergarden and couldnt wait to come home and watch the episode video recorded

i missed silver surfer, my hermit crab and first pet when he died.

i missed all my friends when i changed schools in middle school.

i miss my instruments that were stolen from my car one fateful night

i miss myself

she will never doubt my love, she is too sure of it. and i am too sure to make her feel it every second of the day.
