500 Posts.

Ugh. I don't understand how I've done 500 of these. (or 499 before this one, to be specific)
I've included other anniversary post below if you wanna see how this blog has (degenerated) evolved though they're all really kind of awkward and I don't understand how it worked out so that all of them seem to be Confessionals or TMIs
What a long strange trip it's been:
1st Post
100th Post
200th Post
300th Post (this is probably the only worthwhile one of these)
400th Post

But since 500 is a bigger number and thus better and more important I wanted to do something kind of different. I wanted to share with you a song I adore. I was thinking about calling it my favorite song, though I think a favorite song would be one you listen to and sing all the time, and I don't really do that for this song and plus I don't think I have a single favorite (though according to my iTunes playlist my most played is, I think Joy Division's Warsaw-go me.) Rather Pyramid Song is probably the song that is most important to me. It's the song I listen to at those important moments (the last time the morning of my graduation.) whenever I'm down or need reassurance, it is a reminder that everything is not horrible and that I can get through whatever I need to. It calms me down and soothes me and... tells me there is nothing really to be afraid of. That everything will be alright.
It is pretty much sacred to me and I thought this 500th post was a fitting and honorable enough occasion to show it.

i jumped in the river and what did i see?
black-eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat

there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

(lyrics from green plastic radiohead, one of my go-to sites and one that has a lot more really cool and illuminating information about this song. bolding is my own )
