Blogocentric Formulations

by Jeff

Rated: 18+ · Book · Biographical · #1399999

My primary Writing.com blog.

Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:

"The Soundtrackers Group"

"Invalid Item"

"Blogging Circle of Friends "

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"

"JAFBG"

"Take up Your Cross"

Thanks for stopping by!

I never heard of her, but this music is soothing.

In response to "Book Recommendations"

I'm currently reading a book called Chosen by Benedict Jacka. I really wanted to read the first in the series but it wasn't available.

I believe Taken is the first book.

I have a second hardbound book Science Fiction/ Fantasy book called Revisionary Book 4 By Jim C .Hines. They also didnt have the first three in the series. I have a feel
ingg I might not understand it without first reading 1-3.
I think this one might be harder to read. I'll try though. Maybe I'll check at the used book store. They might have some. There's only 4 books in the series.

I need to write your list down. So many sound interesting. I like the alternate reality and parallel universes.

I like all of the books you listed.

I plan on viewing your other posts about movies etc.

In response to "Book Recommendations"

These books sound interesting.

I have read #1 The I invisible Life if Addie LaRue. I enjoyed it. I won't spoil it for you. The demon is pretty tricky, and yet likeable in some ways.

Have you read any of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher? The main character is a detective, wizard, and one ifvthe good guys.

Theres humor in his work Jim Butchers work. I love it..

I read that whole series. I think there were 17 books.

They did a few episodes on TV, but ruined it because the scenes were out if order and so some things didnt make sense. Then they stopped auring it.

Gran Tunsmo was good, I saw only because I played the games and wanted to see what they could do.

In response to "Take a Hike"

I enjoy hiking, but I would need to get in better shape to do any rough terrain hiking. Now, it's cold outside, there's snow, and it's just not a good time to go out and start hiking, so, as I mentioned before, I'll stick to hiking inside. I'm going to hike to the kitchen and get some Doritos.

In response to "Habits not Resolutions"

There was a sign in a gym I used to go to, "Willpower gets you started, habit keeps you going."

I used to go, but it was like this, "I'd have to drive thirty minutes to get to the gym, I guess I'll just exercise at home by walking to the cupboard and opening a bag of Doritos."

299... awesome. You're a closet anarchist!

I do exercise daily and keep track of it here; but I don't keep track of daily words written. Some days I go way over 300 just by commenting!

Mood

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | Day 11

"Mood"
by 24KGoldn (feat. iann dior)

Full Lyrics ▼

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

[Iann dior:]
I could never get attached
When I start to feel, I unattach
Somehow I always end up feeling bad
Baby, I am not your dad, it's not all you want from me
I just want your company
Girl, it's obvious, elephant in the room
And we're a part of it, don't act so confused
And you love startin' it, now I'm in a mood
Now we're arguin' in my bedroom

We play games of love to avoid the depression
We've been here before
And I won't be your victim

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

So why you tryin' to fake your love on the regular
When you could be blowin' up just like my cellular
I won't ever let a shorty go and set me up
Only thing I need to know is if you wet enough
I'm talking slick back, kick back, gang sippin' forties
You keep playing, not another day with you shorty
Mismatched fits, that was way before you know me
Got a lot of love, well you better save it for me

[Iann dior:]
We play games of love to avoid the depression
We've been here before
And I won't be your victim

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

This is another of the uptempo, high-energy songs that I've been listening to a lot while I work. It's also sort of my anthem for dealing with bullshit at work, whenever someone is annoying me or making my life more difficult. There's something soothing about listening to a song asking why someone's always in a mood, screwing around, trying to play games.

I have literally never heard of either 24KGoldn or iann dior prior to this song coming out. I couldn't tell you the name of any other song either one of them has done. But this one sure is catchy!

Always

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | Day 10

"Always"
by Francois Klark

Full Lyrics ▼

This is such a simple, beautiful song. Its uncomplicated lyrics and acoustic tune really make the artistry of the song stand out. I usually dislike acoustic songs and prefer the full production value that a studio can bring to a song, but it's songs like these that really make a strong case for the simplicity of some great lyrics and a catchy tune on a single instrument like a piano or a guitar.

I actually found this song on the Feel the Beat movie on Netflix which was... not a great movie... but my son loves to watch it and after enough times, the musical number set to this song started to grow on me. It's been on my playlists ever since.

Someone You Loved

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | Day 9

"Someone You Loved"
by Lewis Capaldi

Full Lyrics ▼

While we're on the topic of soulful white guys, I've been (re)listening to this song by Lewis Capaldi a lot. I'm not sure why sad love songs about relationships are making me think about my mom so often... I think it's just the snippets of lyrics and the overall tone and emotion that I'm really connecting with right now. I suppose most of the songs I'm identifying with are about loss in some way, just not so much death of a loved one as loss of a significant other.

This City

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | Day 8

"This City"
by Sam Fischer

Full Lyrics ▼

This is such a soulful song, I often find myself listening to it when I'm feeling somber or nostalgic. It also reminds me a lot of my own experience with moving to Los Angeles for school and work and how hard this city (and the business I'm in) can be sometimes. Back in the pandemic before-times, this was the perfect song to listen to on my long commute home, especially driving through the middle of the city at night.
