“Because” - The Beatles
Because the world is round, it turns me on.
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.
Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you.
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry.
So simple, but so incredibly beautiful.
Listening to The Monkees. I’ll be a Daydream Believer until the day I die. Don’t you hate those nights when the words don’t come out right? Like 98 pages down and the rest of my life to go. I’m pretty sure I just don’t make sense anymore.

Because there was once a time when all this felt like it mattered—
I am sick of cramming my feelings into 160 keystrokes (as if the glass of my iPhone could feel or convey anything at all). It’s so watered down that everything’s lost meaning. I want parchment and ink. I want a letter I can hold in my hand, fold in my pocket and read without switching on a screen. I want postcards with funny pictures from faraway places. I want to be verbose; I want to dazzle you with prose. I want to tell you about how I make funny faces in the mirror when I brush my teeth, or how I spend most of my nights in bed fencing in sheep. And I want it back from you. Now it’s all 0’s and 1’s and — more than anything — I want something real.
“Dangerous Blues” - The Young Veins.
I am not going to lie: I’ve been listening to this song all night. It is just that good. The Young Veins’ new record is stellar — predictably retro, but that’s my scene anyway, so I don’t mind.
This is what it’s come to. Eating croutons out of the box. Drinking cheap wine out of the bottle. I hope you’re proud. It’s okay for me to say that I miss you because I’m only telling the truth.
An awesome interactive timeline by the New York Times lining up events in the past three seasons of “Mad Men” with real-life historical events. It even chronicles events in the later-60s as a sort of “preview” of what might be in store in later seasons of the show. As a huge Maddict and history buff, this is super cool.
