interesting...seems that the lyrics from 'grey street' have struck a chord in many people. (me included, of course)...there have been at least six differnet searches on some part of: there's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in...she feels like kicking out all the windows...

...and setting fire to this life...

admittedly, i haven't gotten past track two on busted stuff very often. even in listening to grey street, after hearing this line, i often start the song over so i can hear it again. and again. and again. i swear i am going to make myself listen to 'where are you going' or at least 'you never know', but i can't seem to do it.

neat segment on npr today (the todd mundt show again. (what i always listen to when walking the dogs) on mazes. they spoke with adrian fisher, who has designed many of them...very interesting. at the end, he was talking about the maze not only being finishing it, but the journey through it. to paraphrase somewhat:

what is a point of a maze? it's something like what is the point of life? Is the walking of the maze is it the noting of the details and smiling at the people you pass, the laughter the joy of the experience? or is it getting to the goal? is it living each day to the full and giving as much joy to other people, or is it climbing into the box at the end?

listen here.

i can't believe that we would lie in our graves
wondering if we had spent our living days well
i can't believe that we would lie in our graves
dreaming of things that we might have been...

the segment that follows examines the idea that 'natural' flavors are different than 'artificial' flavors...they are really shockingly similar...give a listen if you have time. fascinating.
