are you hoping for a miracle

I've gotten into the habit of constantly reading blogs online. Usually it's to find new music, but sometimes I happen to stumble upon someone who writes really, really well. I'm really jealous of those kinds of people. One blog I'm most interested in is Neko Case's travelogue. That thing is absolutely hilarious. It hasn't been updated for ages, but the first time I visited it, I went through the entire archive and just laughed. She can really tell a story.

Anyways, I really love memories. Unfortunately, I have a terrible memory, so usually I am only able to remember some parts of the greatest experiences. Hence, I love pictures, photographs, videos, letters ... anything that reminds me of a time I once enjoyed. I've spent long hours looking through old photo albums, watching recordings of birthday parties that happened five years ago, and sometimes, I go through letters my friends have written to me. And I've decided that from now on, I'm going to record everything that I find significant enough to record, so that I can relive it later on. Hence, this blog.

By the way, my blog is a line from a Chad VanGaalen song. Because I absolutely love that guy. The song title is unknown to me, though. I've only heard it when I saw him live (twice), but it's a beautiful song.
