And I happened across an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.largeheartedboy.com\/blog\/archive\/2008\/11\/note_books_cati.html\">entry involving Catie Curtis<\/a>, whom I really liked back in college. I haven&#8217;t listened to her music in ages, but was intrigued by David&#8217;s endorsement of her latest album.<\/p>\n<p>A few more clicks later (on Last.fm and YouTube) and I was listening to the title track, &#8220;Sweet Life,&#8221; off her fall release. Its lyrics, especially this refrain, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I had lots of big plans for tomorrow<br \/>\nMost of them probably won&#8217;t come true<br \/>\nAnd maybe it&#8217;s a bitter pill to swallow<br \/>\nBut it led me here to this<br \/>\nSweet life beside you<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>recall John Lennon&#8217;s &#8220;Beautiful Boy.&#8221; It&#8217;s nice to be reminded that disappointments can lead to the beauty that surrounds your life and that makes being worthwhile. Since I sometimes have a hard time letting go (stop laughing at the word &#8220;sometimes&#8221; in that phrase!), it&#8217;s good to hear it reiterated here.<\/p>\n<p>This video is the winner in the contest she held in October asking fans to provide pictures for her words:<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"340\" height=\"285\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/NMI4m3ORZlE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x234900&#038;color2=0x4e9e00&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/NMI4m3ORZlE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x234900&#038;color2=0x4e9e00&#038;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"340\" height=\"285\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t like deadlines and that applies even to ones that I make up for myself.
