At this moment i am sitting at the on campus bookstore. stuffed inconsicuasly into the corner where i sit, type and just generally lurk. Why do i choose this one extremely unsociable spot? because...
I like to watch people. Though i don't partake in it to the full extent i would like to because i think it makes me creepy.
(And at all costs you gotta avoid the creepy.)
I feel the best way to do this is to throw some headphones into your ears, the itunes choose some sounds for you and slowly let your gaze pan the crowed.
It feels like the end to almost every Gray's Anatomy episode. A slow montage set to music for tone...for no real reason other then emotional masturbation.
At them same time I feel like it helps me put the whole world into a context. A lense other then the foggy glasses I usually find myself squinting to see through, that i can watch reality through. I've been doing this a lot lately because i feel slightly out of controle...more on that later.
The best music in my humble opinion to do this with...
Nanties......................................Beirut
Boy with a coin..........................Iron and wine
For the windows of paradise......Sufjan Stevens
Jezebel......................................Iron and Wine
Modern Love.............................Bloc Party
Marching bands in Manhattan...Death Cab for Cutie
In the Sun.................................Joseph Aurther
Breath Me.................................Sia
Sure it might make you a little Melancholy but...
TRY IT!
