"Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees
"Everybody Talks"
Hey, baby, won't you look my way?
I can be your new addiction
Hey, baby, what you gotta say?
All you're giving me is fiction
I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time
I found out that everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can hear the chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Hey honey you could be my drug
You could be my new prescription
Too much could be an overdose
All this trash talk make me itching
Oh my my shit
Everybody talks, everybody talks
Everybody talks too much
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can hear the chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Never thought I'd live to see the day
When everybody's words got in the way
Hey sugar show me all your love
All you're giving me is friction
Hey sugar what you gotta say?
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can hear the chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks... back
It started with a whisper (everybody talks, everybody talks)
And that was when I kissed her (everybody talks, everybody talks)
Everybody talks
Everybody talks... back

Flashback Friday: The Littles
Here come the Littles,
Always running to and fro.
Here come the Littles;
They're living with you, don't you know?
One day when Henry went away,
The Littles fell inside his suitcase.
He later found the stowaways
When he opened his luggage and the Littles jumped out.
They've been-a best friends ever since.
He's kept a secret their existence.
Inside the walls they've always been.
You can't stop the Littles, 'cause the Littles don't stop!

"No Way Out" By Bullet For My Valentine
No Way Out
Looking out standing over the edge
Too numb to feel alive
So why the fuck are these thoughts in my head
Reach in and pull them out
Still nothing feels the same
Too late to hesitate
Why can't I run and escape from myself
And live again
Why can't I run and escape from myself
Tell me why I feel like there's no way out
Trying hard to heal as the pain pours out
I don't wanna feel this way but it's hard
'Cos I know that in the end
There's no way out
Oh my god is this really the end
I guess I'm not alright
I just can't tell what is real anymore
I'm trapped in my own hell
I know this can't be real
This negativity
Is dominating and smothering me
I just can't breathe
And I just can't tell what is real any more
Tell me why I feel like there's no way out
Trying hard to heal as the pain pours out
I don't wanna feel thisway but it's hard
'Cos I know that in the end
There's no way out
There's nothing left for me
Just tainted memories
There's no one here for me
Just let me be
Why can't I run and escape from myself
I just can't tell what is real any more
Tell me why I feel like there's no way out
Trying hard to heal as the pain pours out
I don't wanna feel this way but it's hard
'Cos I know that in the end
There's no way out
Oh my god is this really the end

Weather is Wisconsin: Rain, Wind and Hail! Oh my!
We had a bit of severe weather here in Wisconsin today.
I was able to capture the beginning of the storm with my iPhone.
There was quarter size hail, lots of wind and a lot of rain.
The street in front of my house flooded rather quickly.
Shelby was not amused about going outside in the rain to potty.
She ran out and was back in the house in less than 2 minutes.
