Bipolarity for all its worth

[tea_and_ink]

Back in business after the massive nervous breakdown my laptop underwent, courtesy to an ass who claimed to be the grandpa’s long lost ilegit, and also claimed to be a computer technician claiming to have discovered a Trojan in my baby. A Trojan I KNEW wasn’t there, but hey, the guy could be my uncle so, let’s give him a chance, says my not-so-wise aunt Now I understand about giving chances, I do, but not with my most precious possession!!!!! So yeah, my aunt and I aren’t really talking until she admits the guy played us and CHARGED for it

::shakes head::

That said, I just wanted to make it known that I have developed an obsession, yeah big surprise there huh? With this John Mayer guy, ever heard of him? He’s real cool I mean, like fo’ real!

Great lyrics and beautiful voice. What more can one ask?

Story goes somewhat like this, my sister decided she had to give me a Christmas present now, because she didn’t give me anything when Christmas actually happened, and she knows I love blues and Jazz and all that, so she took the liberty to ask the clerk in this shitty store, what of that was sounding nowadays, and the kid sold her an album that really had NOTHING to do with what she asked for, but it did have Gravity and man I was bouncing with the purest of joys! Its beautiful and deep and soft and fucking touching! Sad part is I’ve heard it only once so far, yeah she took the CD ‘cuz that’s Sophie for ya. Now I’m on a quest to get more of his music, haven’t been extremely successful, but in this town I coulda done a lot worse. 

So for good intended gifts that didn’t quite achieve the expected goal, but didn’t fall entirely flat either, and the purest serendipity that led me to this amazing discovery, I raise my glass. 

Also, cherryscott I should let you know that I finally got around to hear 9 Crimes and it broke my little breakable heart. Its so, so sad. I’m off to read the fic with the song in the background and possibly let you know what that felt like. 

All in all? I’m a happy camper. Not even having to pay to the family’s new found asshole for damaging my laptop could bring me down now, life’s looking up people!!! ‘Cause John Mayer and Damien Rice can make the long walk worth it.

 

Speaking of John Mayer, any recommendations? I’m all ears :D

I have pretty much a million of John Mayer's songs, so once you have some idea of what you want - or when I get up from my nap, I can rec you some stuff - I can upload stuff for you. I've got all his albums, plus a lot of live stuff and some really rare songs too.

And aw! 9 Crimes really is such a heartbreaking song. It's just raw and gorgeous. Gah. I love it. I would love to know what you felt about the fic while listening to the song!

Uuuhhh, rare stuff, my true kink heh.
Cool, so now I just have to get my lazy ass to listen some more and then I can say what I'm interested in, because as of mow, I'm just this miscellaneous puddle of goo, melted at John's poetic feet, so there really isn't a whole lot of me and, you know how defining what you want has this annoying tendency to require logic thought process, a feat beyond me at the moment.
Guess I'll just pay attention to your wise advice... so please give it ::grins stupidly::
So far my fav list goes like this: Gravity, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, Dreaming with a Broken Heart… and yeah, not a lot progress in the finding department.

Poke me if I haven't done it by Saturday night, but what I'll do is make a big John Mayer music post with staples from his albums, live shows and also some of the rarer cuts. :)

I LOVE YOU! Also, I so should make a music icon, 'cuz I want one, and I like yours heh. But I want headphones, so don't worry, yours is yours, not soon-to-be ours.
And wow I can ramble. Jeez!
