Everything you do is a window into your soul

There are some lyricists out there who come up with very intelligent, insightful lyrics (Death Cab for Cutie), and some who come up with a couple of really good lines and a bunch of filler (Nada Surf). In either case, I like to apply song lyrics as little summaries for things that have happened in my life, or that I've learned. Nada Surf's "Always Love" has been my theme song since it came out.

Today, I have Crooked Teeth (DC4C) running through my head; I apply it personally to my marriage. (I don't say "failed marriage", because I don't consider divorce to be a failure, only the contents of your marriage determine if it failed or succeeded). And as it was running through my head, I happened across today's Dilbert, which ends with the punch line "and my kids have crooked teeth". Synchronicity. Co-incidence. Another example of our ability to see patterns everywhere. Whatever.

And I knew I'd made horrible call,
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
And there was no doubt about which side I was on.

Cause I built you a home in my heart,
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.

And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all

Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

I'm a war, of head versus heart,
And it's always this way.
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Before I know what it will say.

Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

As I was reading the paper, I ran across the fact the the university has a new theatre company, and their first event is the play, "Closer", which was made into a movie this year. I'm thinking about going to it even though I'm not a real live theatre lover. Awhile back a woman who was a little less separated from her husband than I was led to believe brought over a copy to watch. Unfortunately that was when I had found out the true state of affairs, so to speak, and chose to end things with her, so I never saw it. I always wondered if/what she was unconsciously trying to tell me with it, however, so I've been curious to see it since...
