candle up to the sun

mood: contently flat.
state i'm in: the emotional rollercoaster is really kicking into higher gears.
tune: josh pyke "feeding the wolves" ep.


le chatelier's principle states:

"if a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift in a direction that tends to reduce that change."


now whilst henri le chatelier was describing effects on enzyme kinetics when he coined this principle (one of the guiding principles of chemistry), just broaden your mind to imagine how much of life it in actuality applies to...

this is going to be one of those posts, where i skip around a bit from one topic to the next...


singer-songwriter josh pyke is brilliant. i would have liked to have shared this a long time ago, but my overall mood veered away into more stable and happier times before i could, and it just felt inappropriate to be dedicating posts to largely sombre and/or reflective music when the songs i were playing were farthest from.

the following lyrics from his track "staring down the sun" off the "feeding the wolves" ep just ring in my ear so loudly when he sings them. that feeling, unspecific as it is, is always so warm in my memory - when he sings this verse it comes back to the surface like bubbles in a slow-boiling pool of mud.


"not too sentimental, but i want you to know,
that i drove past your street tonight on my way back from a show.
i was less than one hundred footsteps away from you i suppose,
and i could feel your sweet eyes, watching headlights roll by,
maybe you noticed one, swept by a little too slow,
and on down that road.
on down that road."


perhaps for me the most poignant, but really just one of many such moments from his ep. how many times i have done it i cannot recall. in my mind, i have done it many more times. one can never quite let go of an experience when is is the experience itself that grips you tight.

and to change topic again, the announcement of a tragic event in the world of bold and the beautiful. darla einstein-forrester died this afternoon on the show due to complications from massive head injuries sustained when she was hit by a car. this sucks i think, 'cos darla was one of my favourite supporting characters, and it also signals the further fading of memories of the once stong spectre empire. only clark garrison jr. and sally spectre herself are now left from the clan.

but, should have seen it coming, she was happy, and we can't have that on b 'n' b.

stay tuned for a bit of howard-bashing in the next couple of days. the little turd has pissed me off... again.
