You and Me

This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head but you don't really mind.  :)  Or I don't mind at least!  I feel like this is a cover but I can't find who originally sang it so maybe it isn't a cover and I just know it?  It's a song to me that sounds like a cover.  That's not a slam on Lifehouse at all.  It just seems that this song has been sung before and Lifehouse was doing it justice by covering it.  Yet all other "You and Me" songs that I pulled up on YouTube weren't this song but others.  Regardless. 
I'm currently planning/coordinating a wedding and putting together a playlist for the reception.  I'm pretty sure this song is going to end up on it.  :)
I really, really like this song.  The sound, the words, the music.  I like Lifehouse.  They come out of LA and in the past few years finally hit mainstream radio.  But they've been around the block a time or two in their 10+ years of being a band.  In fact I like them so much you'll probably see another song or two of theirs hit the 365 experiment before the 365 wraps up.  :)

( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after."

It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
