Brainstorming Creative Juices & Blogging

So I'm home now. I wanted to still be at The Good Cherry but, they close at 9PM during the week.... dumb. Oh well, I finished one paper then moved onward to the take-home essay quiz which will then be followed by the complete reading of The Spirit Of The Disciplines by Dallas Willard. So why pause and blog you ask? I've found blogging helps me clear my mind and start fresh with creative juices. Sometimes what I'm about to write about in a paper will often come from me brainstorming in a blog post. Listening to an old 3EB record. Loving it. Jenkins is a brilliant lyricist.

Songs That Mark Memories # 1 - Hear You Me | Jimmy Eat World

This song marks a lot of late night drives home from friends houses in high school for me. I've laid on the roofs of houses and midnight listening to this tune over and over again on my headphones. Not only is it beautifully crafted it's remarkably emotionally tugging on the heart. Every time I hear it it reminds me of starry nights and midnight drives.... (i just heard it on Pandora Radio here at The Good Cherry). Such a great song. Blessings to all.

HEAR YOU ME - JIMMY EAT WORLD

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

Good Coffee @ The Good Cherry

All of you know I'm a loyal Muse Coffee Company supporter. However, tonight Bryan closed up shop early, I'm thinking because of the UNC game tonight. Go Heels! Regardless, I needed a coffee shop that had free wifi a great atmosphere and amazing coffee. So I made the drive out the The Good Cherry. I normally don't make it out this far as it's not really nearby for me. I got their clover press coffee, a rare treat, and I fell in love with this place all over again. Not to mention their use of Pandora Radio to keep an amazing stream of hits playing, and I mean amazing, the aesthetics are amazing. The people are friendly here as well. I was asked by a shorter african american woman if I wanted some of her sugar... at first I was slightly taken back then I realized she was holding the canister of sugar in her hand for the coffee. It was even more humorous when the young gentleman who pressed the clovers for my coffee brought out a refill of half and half and asked me if I wanted any sugar. I guess he thought I was looking for it. After being offered sugar by just about everyone in the shop I sat back and felt really good about being here. The people here seem to genuinely be happy. That makes all the difference. I've found a little piece of what I love so much about the Muse Coffee Company just a little ways down the road toward Forest at The Good Cherry. This was a good choice. Did I mention the clover press coffee is amazing?
